LABOR MINISTERS EVEN
WEARING GOOD CLOTHES
LONDON, Sept. 9.—The labor par
ty has achieved success in society if
not in parliament, since it came into
power, writes the Liberal Magazine,
in a caustic article in its July issue.
The publication says:
“In every avenue of polite and dec
orative social display the labor gov
ernment has been a tremendous suc
cess. No opportunity has been mis
sed. There has never been a mom
ent's slackness in any matter of gar

Even the special admiralty yacht,'
the Enchantress, which the late con- j
servative government laid aside from
motives of narrow parsimony, has!
been brought out again for the use!
of labor ministers and their friends. |
“And there has been no nonsense,
about dress. The wives and daugh
ters of ministers have not* only taken
the trouble to go to court on two
consecutive nights, bpt have worn en
tirely different and quite suitable
clothes on each occasion. The prime
minister has been so obliging as to
allow himself to be seen in the city
in blue velvet and gold braid.
“All the same it has been an im
mense triumph for the labor party.
No one can ever again accuse them
of unreasonable hostility to that lav
ish social display which gives so
much pleasure to poor people who
have to watch it from the pavement.
If they had done as woTT in parlia
ment as they have done in society—
but, after all J it is not fair to ask
too much.”
