A BISHOP'S TALK TO WOMEN.

The Bishop of. London ihae been talking to women ooi thotext "What is the matter with the society girl P' , and in the course of hisremarJcs said:—"l am not going_ to talk much about bridge, but my hrm belief is that it is tar better, for girls and young married women not to play for anoney.. I have spoken to come oi the best-known hostesses in. London, and 1 find tliat tiho best of them, who have consideration for tho younger people,, always arrange at their various parties to have two or three tables at which the play ie not for money." The Bishop continued on tne subject of amusements generally, eaying: —"Have amusements by all means- At your age, of course, you must .have amusement and recreation in your life; but do have your' life laid out with prayer to start with, and with ; some reading in the mornidi, some bit of time laid aside to visit ai?/ one of your acquaintance who is sick or ill, or someone who is a Jittle dull. The, reason why I am so keen about tne law of service is that it is servico for the Master that makes one realise what religion is. Do get out of perpetually saying, <I wonder what people think of ane,' or 'How shall I enjoy myself P , - It is that you will begin to understand what life is."
