Mr Balfour is frequently the victim of absent-mindedness, Once in a speech he referred to the late Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman as Sir Henry Bannerman, Sir Charles Bannerman, and Mr Bannermari. Only a short time ago he spoke of Lord Northampton as Sir Henry Fowler and Sir William Fowler. There wag another entertaining instance some time back at a Primrose League demonstration at the Albert Hall. "Where do I sit?" asked Mr Balfour, with a bland note of inquiry. A surprised official pointed to the chair. Mr Balfour seemingly had totally forgotten that he was to preside over the meeting.
