Sunday morning tho archbishop of Cork
preached. Ho was a splendid man, nn
Irishman to tho backbono, and possessed
of as flno a broguo as over distinguished a
son of Erin. His congregation was mndo
up of tho very essence of fashion in Dublin,
which in thoso days was ono of tin great
est social centers In tho world. Notori
ously, people were living beyond their
menns, for tho income from the landed
estates of Ireland had taken a big tumble.
But that mndo no difference, nnd good
dressing went ns a matter of courss, and
wns ono of tho smnllest of tho extrava
gances. The archbishop prenched cn the
subject of extravngance, and sooko par
ticularly of overdressing ns a prereiuislto
to attendance at church. His sermon wns
a bitter arraignment of tho sin of debt
nnd tho wickedness of setting the heart on
fashion and dress. Ho nttacked ths over
dressed women, nnd wound up this par
ticular reference this way:
" 'Now, supposln' overy ono of ye overy
ono, man and womnn, should stand up In
this church, tnko off tho clothes yo have
not paid for, Just walkln out with only
the things on your backs yo havo paid for
a pretty lookln' lot of scarecrows yo'd
be.'
"There wns a pause until tho real sig
nificance of tho suggestion had porcolatcd
through tho members of his congrcgntlon,
then somo ono snlckorcd. Every ono wns
picturing to him and herself the real sreno
thnt would occur should tho nrchb'shop's
Idea bo cnrrled Into effect, vhllo wlfo
looked at husband and membors of each
fnmlly nudged ono nnothcr. Tho ludicrous
sldo wns Irresistible, nnd tho laugh was
general."
