His congrega- "tion was made of the very essence of fashion In Dublin, which, in those days, was one of the greatest soclal centers of the world. Notoriously, peo- ple were living beyond their means, for the Income from the landed estates of Ireland had taken a big tumble. But that made no difference, and good dressing went as a matter of course and was one of the smallest of the ex- travagances. The bishop preached on the subject of extravagance and spoke particularly of overdressing. His ser mon was a bitter arraignment of the sin of debt and the wickedness of set ting the heart on fashion and dress. He attacked the overdressed woman and wound up this particular reference this way: "Now, supposing every one of ye-- every ome. man and woman--should stand up In this church, take off the ¢lothes ye have not paid for, just walk in out with the things on your back ye have pald for--a pretty lookin lot of scarecrows ye'd be. "There was a pause until the real significance of the suggestion had per colated through the members of his congregation, then some one snickered Every one was picturing to himself 'and Dierself the real scene that would occur should the bishop's idea be carried into effect, while wife looked at husband and members of each family nudged one another.

On oue occasion a gentlenian 1 knew very well was to officiate. It was his custom to 1im#t hls sermon to 20 minutes, preach- ing ex tempore, and always took out his watch and his pocket bandker chief. placing them beside bim before commencing. This be did as usual and, @nding a very convenlent little round receptacle, stuffed the bandker- chief Into it, laid the watch on top and fired away. "The congregation was surprised to see the old rector, who was sitting at the bottom desk of the 'three decker erection. which I suppose still stands right In the center and half way down the alsle--not In the chancel, ag in the modern churches--become very uneasy fn bis seat. He squirmed around and looked up, though every one knew quite well that be could not hear a word of the sermon. Finally he beck- oned to the black gowned old verger, whe carried a long wand, and whis- pered to him. The verger ascended the pulpit and In turn Interrupted the sermon by a whispered conversation with the preacher, who was seen to suddenly grasp his pocket handker- chief and watch, smile and nod, and then proceeded with his sermon.
