ENGLISH MAIDS GAMBLING
By LADY HENRY SOMERSET.

LONDON. April H-The Bishop OF
London has been speaking plainly to
women during the Lenten season.
Speaking first Of all Of duty. he com
mented on the tyranny OF the card case.
No one is more fair than DR.. Ingram,
and he put the matter very well when
he said that a young woman had said to
him: We'll, bishop, my husband goes
down to the city every day, and 1
thing it part of my positive duty that
/ should keep up his acquaintances and
friendships for him"
Here, he said, it was difficult TO an
swer. 1t seemed that the card case was
real duty. But it must be toilsome
business. that round of meaningless
calls day after day.
There are social duties he said.
lin the West End Of London. Social
gatherings in the West End are as per-
missible as social gatherings in the
East The rich ought to be able to en-
JOY themselves in their own way at
their own end of London"
Girls Went Broke
But the point on which the bishop
has been very emphatic is that play
ing cards for money Is wrong. II have
known. he SAID, "a number Of girls in
country houses in society who have
been put into the most uncomfortable
positions by losing money over bridge.
The really wise girl makes it a rule
that she will not play for money. and
by this rule she helps not only herself.
but those who are weaker in character,
and younger than She
He then appealed 70 women 10 place
recreation in due proportion TO their life
There are too many he said. who
allow recreation to take the place Of real
work, and the time that was meant for
educating the mind and spirit is spent
in mere amusement and adornment
Il am one OF those" he added. who
think il is absolutely wrong to imagine
that there is any virtue in being dowdy.
and I would go so far as to say that it
is duty for every woman in every rank
OF life to try TO make the best Of her
dress with her means. but I cannot but
say that the amount of time and thought
that is spent over dress In the West
End Of London is out of all proportion
70 the importance Of the matter"
Lochiel of Romance WEEDS.
The recent marriage of Cameron of
LochieI take one back to the times when
the heads Of the great clans were the
rulers Of tho Scottish nation, and there
is always something curiOusly romantic
about the announcement at any great
function Of THE Lochiel"
No other name is needed when the
killed figure enters Buckingham Palace
or any other State function.
Cameron of Lochlel married the other
day Lady Hermione Graham, the
daughter Of the Duke Of Montrose. a
family whose history is that of Scotland
itself, and the ancestors OF both families
fought together on a score of battle
fields in those PARKWAY struggles on be-
half of the house of Stuart, a page of
history which is written IN the blood of
the Grahams and the Camerons.-
Indeed, it Is not so many generations
ago since the Lochiel Of his day was
executed, and his head placed on a pike
over Temple Bar. The union of these
great Scottish families seems to bring
very near those distant and disturbed
days.
