• PRIMROSE LEAGUE MEETINGS.
[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.] Sm,—Your reviewer of Col. Wedgwood's book; Essays and Adventures of -a Labour M.P., in his reference, to the Primrose League scarcely does justice to the League. Suggesting that .C61. Wedgwocid's book is not one that will be carefully read, he says " For a book—even this book—is not like a Primrose League Meeting, where your eloquent and well- trained speaker is able to interpose an address on Empire between -two dances."' The methods of the Primrose League have changed since-the War. Before the War-a short address on politics interposed between two dances might be regarded by some people as sufficient. It is not so to-day. The Primrose League now meets the Socialists on their own ground in the Parks and other places. Addresses at enter- tainments are now confined to the work of the League in which the- members are interested. The political , questions of the day -are, dealt with at meetings called for that purpose.
