Torrespondence of The Star and New York World. LONDON, November 10.—Having completed his tenure as the first labor prime minister, Ramsay Mac- Donald, who earlier in the year took up his residence at historic 10 Down- ing street, moved quietly back to his old home, No. § Howitt road, Hamp- stead. The house in Howitt road had been Ar. MacDonald's home for years be- fore he ever dreamed of going to Downing street at prime minister of Great Britain. It could only be de- scribed truthfully as a typical lower middle class home. This observation is made with a warning of Bernard ~"haw that it 1s fatal for any lecturer to describe his English audience as “middle class” still ringing in one's ears. Nevertheless, there the MacDonald home {s—one of two long lines of houses facing each other along the road, each exactly like its neighbors. Mr. MacDonald's neighbors, too, are =11 working people, and their com- , like the former prime minis- . do not exceed those ordinarily found in typical working class homes. Left Fortune by Wife. There is nothing demagogic about the choice of & home which Mr. Mac- Lonald made some years after the ath of his wife left him with five children to look after. The late Mrs. MacDonald, it is understood, left her husband and children a comfortable fortune.

It needs hardly to be added that the Howitt road home is one of plain living and high thinking. Now that it has been reopened after the nine months' residence of the family in wning street, the former premier ngland again passes many hours ily in his study on the second floor his modest abode. It is a book- red room, with surplus volumes— story and economies predominate— cccupying many of the chairs. A fine steel engraving of Oliver Cromwell is one of the few pictures in the room.
