HAROLD BEGBIE WRITES
OF HIS IRISH EXPERIENCES

Harold Begbie. whose volumes on con-
version and religious psychology are well
known to the American and English
public, has Just written a book on his
Irish experiences. It is filed with i'm
pressionistic sketches of the secular and
religious life OF the Irish people at the
present time Mr.. Begbie mixed freely
with the Irish Roman Catholic clergy.
Of whom he formed a high opinion. He
ridicules the notion that there Is any
danger Of Roman intolerance In case OF
the establishment of home rule. The
idea OF boycotting Protestants. he says,
is absurd. and he mentions one market
town where all the chief shops are kept
Catholics. "A gentlemanly and blush
by Protestants and supported by Roman
ing young Methodist. presiding over the
counter Of a fiourishing grocery store,
informed me that he had the bishop on
his books, most OF the Catholic priests,
and a very satisfactory percentage OF
the Catholic population. He said the
Catholics were by far his most numer-
Gus customers" The bishop acknowl-
edged that his people dealt with the
Protestant shops because the Protestant
shopkeepers are better men of business
that the Catholic shopkeepers, and give
better value for money than the Cath
olics. We do not inquire to what
church they belong. or to which political
party they give their votes; We Judge
them by their prices, the quality Of
their goods, and the honesty Of their
dealings They are a very estimable
body Of people. We like them and we
respect them"
In this connection the New York
Churchman'S London correspondent calls
attention to an interesting account Of
tendencies in the Roman Catholic Church
Of Ireland. given by the Rev. R J.
Hodges the clergyman of the Irish
Church, In a recent number Of the
Church Of Ireland Gazette. Contrary to
what 10 usually supposed, he holds that

The girl who would be ever popular at
weekend parties and a welcome guest
should not forego the small courtesies
to host, hostess. and other guests. She
should never think more Of her own
welfare than of her hostess comfort,
nor should she try to be the whole CEN
ter of attraction. Modesty, though an
old-fashioned virtue which has almost
fallen into disuse. should be rejuvenated.
A girl should show consideration and
thoughtfulness, and adapt herself to the
routine of the household. She should
never be late to meals, nor miss keeping
an appointment She should not make
engagements without consulting the
pleas sure Of her hostess She should not
make too many demands upon the serv-
ants Her own likes and dislikes should
be subservient to those of her hostess
Just Little Things.
She should keep under control her
sense Of humor. She may see the funny
side OF things but she should never ex-
pose others to ridicule for the sake OF
tickling her own sense of humor. She
should never make unkind comments nor
relate other peoples condolences: her
hostess finds herself wondering II her
guest will go away and make her affairs
the subject of conversation at the next
place she visits. She should be careful
never TO interfere or give an opinion
