Fireside diplomacy gains vogue in England under MacDonald
London dispatch notes Ramsay MacDonald promotes informal talks at Chequers with visiting leaders.

Poincare’s planned Chequers visit was canceled by French elections, but future premiers may follow the same informal approach. Queen Mary is seen approving the playful label missus while hosting foreign dignitaries at imperial exhibitions.
