but, on the whole, the feeling of the meat- ing ran high the other way.Indeed, so warm became some of their lordships that, if the Conference had not had to rise early in order to attend the banquet given in their honour by the Poulterers\u2019 Company, there is no knowing what the difference might have grown to.Now, among the auti-theatrical party there was none wore violent or dogmatic than Dr.Septimus Grundy, Lord Bishop of Malta.If raving and thumping could have destroyed the British drama, the Bishop of Maltas speech would, undoubtedly have had that effect.He ridiculed actors, he denounced actresses ; but it was against tke ballet and all who took part in or abetted it that he directed the brunt of his attack.\u201cHe was pained and grieved beyond expression,\u201d he said in a fina peroration, \u201cby the words which hal fallen from their brother of Fiji.For the poor cannibals of heathen climes there might be some excuse.But what condemnation could be too stroag for those who would encourage their white sisters in this Christian isle to exhibit themselves in a condition which would put the naked savages of the South Sea to the blush ?\u201d Several other prelates spoke to the same effect, if less eloquently, including the Bishop of Coventry, Laputa, California and Botany Bay, as well as one of the most conspicuous figures in the Conference\u2014the black Bishop of Ulundi.They a!l went home together in an omnibus, comforting themselves with a further interchange of virtuous indignation, and their speeches were subsequently published in pamphlet form by the Anti-Theatrical League and distributed gratis at the doors of Exeter Hall.The day after the discussion, when the Bishop Malta came down to breakfast \u2018(which he did rather late, having overslept himself, owing to the exhausting effects of the Poulterers\u2019 banquet), he found the following note among his letters : My Dear Grunpy :\u20141 am asking the few members of the Conference whom I know personally to honour me for an hour or two after dinner to-morrow.Will you make one of them ?We shall hope to see Mrs.Grundy on a future occasion, but I am planning this evening specially for the bishops.Yours very truly, STANLEY HAWTHORNE.Now, although the bishop had formerly known the Rev.Stanley Hawthorne rather well, he did not much like him, and he resented being addressed as * My dear Grundy.Moreover, Mr.Hawthorne was a clergyman of notoriously heterodox views, especially on the subject of the theatre.\u201c1 don\u2019t think I shall go,\u201d said the bishop to his wife.* Let me see; what is arranged for to-morrow night?\u201d \u201cDinner of the Home and Foreign Prayer Book Society, 7.30,\u201d replied Mrs.Grundy, referring to a list of her husband\u2019s Pan-Anglican arrangements.\u201cI myself have arranged to dine with Mary Anne, but I shall be home at 10 o'clock, and I should not advise you te go to Mr.Hawthorne's.After your speech yesterday, he ought to know that you and he had nothing in common.\u201d \u201cJust so, my dear,\u201d said the bishop; but I do not wish to offend the man.1 wish you would drop him a line for me and say that I will come if I can, bui have another engagement for that evening.Mrs.Grundy did so accordingly.The next evening, however, at the Home and Foreign Prayer-Book Society\u2019s dinner, the bishop discovered that his brethren of Coventry and Laputa, who were sitting near him, were both going to Mr.Hawthorne's.They pressed him strongly to accompany them, and, as the dinner was over at 9.30, Dr.Grundy thought that he might as well look in at Mr.Hawthorne\u2019s for half-an-hour and see what was going on.There was quite a string of broughams and hansom cabs at the door when they arrived, and as they went up-stairs the bishops heard the sounds of a piano and female voices in the drawing-room.\u201cDear me,\u201d said Bishop Grundy to Mr.Hawthorne, who was awaiting them on the landing, \u201cI was hardly prepared for this.\u201d His lordship was a little shy by nature, and was accustomed to rely onthe support of Mra.Grundy in female society.\u2018There are only one or two lady friends of my wife\u2019s here, who have come to give us a little music,\u201d said Mr.Hawthorne, \u201cPray do not mind them.You will find it is quite a bishop's party.\u201d And with that he ushered the three new arrivals in and presented them to Mrs, Hawthorne, The Bishop of Malta leoked around \u2018him rather nervously when he had paid his compliments to his hostess.He did not feel more comfortable when he discovered that, besides the two ladies at the piano, eeveral others were scattered about the room, while the back drawing- T00m was quite full of young ladies, with the Bishop of Sadlers Wells gadding about among them like an episcopal but- \u2018terfly.After this sight it was a relief to Dr.Grundy to find some of hisown friends among the dozer or so of prelates whe were standing about talking to the ladies.There was the Bishop of California and the Bishop of Botany Bay, and presently in a distant corner his lordship detected the ebony complexion and flashing teeth of ihe Bishop of Uundi, who appeared to bs very much tete-a-tete with a decidedly attractive lady in black lace and diamonds.\u201c Let me introduce your lordship to my friend, Miss Tottie Simpson,\u201d said the voice of Mrs.Hawthorne.The bishop submitted mechanieally In another moment he found himse! seated in a bay window beside a siren with a bewitching little smile and a pair of eyes which at first made the bisho - blush each time they looked at him Miss Simpson, however, proved to be one of the moet agreeable, as well as the most beautiful) ladies the bishop had ever met.She asked him innumerable questions about his diocese and the work of the Bynod, and presently the good man was telling her all about Malta and the Maltese, and the Cartbaginian Mission, + THE muN1REAL HERALD AND DAILY COMMERCIAL GAZETTE WEDNESDAY.JANUARY.2 and chatting as confidentially as though they had been friends for years.There was morz music, vocal and instrumental.The young ladies in the back drawing-room\u2014Dr.Grundy was quite surprised on a closer inspection to sce how young they were, and how come- ly\u2014came out in a body and sang a lively little chorus, in which Miss Tottie took a part.Some one told the bishop it was out of \u201c Ali Baba,\u201d which did not enlighten him much.Then the black-lace lady left the Bishop of Ulundi, and sang asong in Italian, in a style which even Dr.Grundy dimly perceived to be magnificent.Our good bishop was introduced to the black-lace lady, and to several other young ladies, and found them all very chatty aud pleasant and deeply interested in Church affairs and the work of bishops.Altogether his lordship wus having a very agreeable time of it, when he suddenly looked at his watch and found it was ten minutes to twelve.A Cinderella in apron and gaiters could not have got down Mrs.Hawthorne's staircase more expeditiously than did Dr.Grundy un making this discovery.\u201cOh, but you mustn\u2019t go yet, Grundy,\u201d said Mr.Hawthorne, encountering his guest in the hall; \u201cI have got several things to say to you; in fact I want to have a word with the members of the Synod collectively.\u201d ; \u201cI really can\u2019t stop a moment, thank yon.Should like to very much, but my wife expected me at ten o\u2019clock.\u201d \u201cWeil, I hope you have had a pleasant.evening.Did you like Miss Simpson ?\u201d \u201c A most charming girl,\u201d replied the bishop, struggling into his overcoat, \u2018\u201c\u201cpar- fectly charming Who is she ?\u201d \u201cWell, she\u2019s a professional dancer, 1 faccy she is now engaged in the ballet at the opera.My wife could tell you.I am so glad you\u2014\" \u201cYou don\u2019t mean to tell me, Hawthorne,\u201d gasped the bishop.Then a light broke in upon him.* Who were the other women?\u201d he asked, in a very different tone.\u201cAll theatrical people.They belong to our Gospel Players\u2019 Guild, you know.Most of the younger ones wera chorus or ballet girls, but there were one or two actresses of high standing in the room.Miss Kitchen\u2014the one in black lace, who sang last\u2014is the new prima donna, Madame Schicini, who has just made such a hit at the opera.The truth is, I planned this as a little surprise, Grundy, in the hope of dissipating prejudices wbich\u2014\u201d ' \u201cUpon my word, Hawthorne, I cannot compliment you upon the good taste of your joke.\u201d (The bishop drew himself up as be spoke, and frowned portentously.) \u201cUnder your roof, I can hardly say more, nor have I time to discuss the matter.I wish you a very good evening.\u201d With that his lordship stalked majestically offto the cab which had been called for him.\u201cWhat cn earth makes you so late, Septimus ?\u2019\u2019 asked Mrs.Grundy, as -her spouse came in, and there was something in her voice which the good man did not at all like.\u201c Where have you been to ?\u201d *To Hawthorue\u2019s, my dear.\u201d \u201cIndeed ; and what was going on there ?\u201d \u201c Oh, tea and small talk,\u201d returned the bishop evasively.\u201c And who was there, pray ?\u201d # About twenty members of the Synod, I should think.\u201d His lordship had a feeling that he would rather defer any illusion to Miss Tottie and the other ladies at present.\u201cBut what have you been doing all this time, Septimus ?\u201d persisted the lady.\u201cHawthorne wouldn\u2019t let us go.He wanted to get up a Church and Stage discussion, I think; but I left before :t came to anything.Excuse me, my desr,\u201d added the misguided man, conscious that he was not showing well under cross-exami- tion, \u201cbut I have a bad headache and should like to go to bed.\u201d And to bed his lordship went, where he dreamed all night that be and Miss Simpson were playing harlequin and columbine, with the Bishop or Ulundi as clown, in a private pantomime at Lambeth Palace.Some few days after this incident, Mrs.Grundy received one of the most severe shocks shocks she had ever experienced.\u201cMy dear,\u201d said the bishop one afternoon, on returning home fro.a his Pan- Anglican labours, * a Mr.Oldbury, whom 1 understand to be a theatrical manager of some eminence, has sent through the honorary secretaries, an invitation to the entire Synod to witness a perfurmancs of Italian opera at his theatre.\u201d \u201c Was ever such impudence !\u201d exclaimed Mrs.Grundy.\u201c No doubt,\u201d replied the bishop, and then, after a little hesitation, he added : \u201cThe matter was talked over at the rising of the Conference, and it was agreed that, as a refusal in the name of the Synod might expose the Church to obloquy, no joint action should be taken, but that individual bishops should be left to accept or not, as they think fit.\u201d *Indeea!\u201d said Mrs.Grundy, pursing up her lips.\u201cYes, my dear, and\u2014h\u2019m\u2014taking various circumstances into consideration, I have\u2014h\u2019m\u2014purely on public grounds, you understand\u2014h\u2019m\u2014in short, made up my mind to attend.\u201d Mrs.Grundy literally jumped out of her seat.\u201c You, Septimus ! \u201d she shrieked, and the shriek was distinctly audible in the basement.\u201cYes, Maria,\u201d said the bishop, with a deprecatory wave of the hand.\u201cThe position I have taken up in relation to the Stage makes\u2019 it important that I should show myself perfectly unprejudiced.I shall let it be publicly known that my purpose in attending this performance is solely to inform my own mind, On the occurrence of any breech of propriety 1 shall at once leave the building.Those who supported me in the recent debate agree that this is the wisest course.They also intend to be present.\u201d Mrs.Grundy was silenced.Apparently she was also convinced; for, when a week later the Bishop of Maita took his place in the front row of the stalls at the opera-house, strange to relate, Mrs.Grundy was by his side.Looking around her as soon as her eyes grew accustomed to the unwonted glare, the good woman was much comforted to find in the seats immediately behind her the Bishop of Laputa and his lady.Further down in the same row were {0 be seen their lordships of Coventry and Botany Bay, each accompanied by his wife, while in the very centre of the house stood out the burly form and curly locks of the Bishop of Ulundi, who was a single man.Of course, there were many more bishops.The house seemed ewarming with them-\u2014not to mention the lesser ecclesiastical lights which stadded the firmament ir all directions.The news of such an unusual audience bad also drawn a very full attendance of the general public.All went well till the end of the second act, and, happily, up to then no \u201cbreach of propriety\u201d compelled the Bishop of Maita to falfil his threat of retiring from the scene.At that point, however, some evil spirit had prompted Mr.Oldrury to interpolate a ballet, as though that were the one thing wanting to adapt the opera to the taste of an episcopal audience.Not having studied bis programme very closely, the Bishop of Malta was quite unaware of the treat in store, until at the end of the act troops of short-skirted damsels suddenly invaded the stage and commenced to pirouette and caper, apropos of nothing.His lordship hardly knew how to act in this terrible emergency.He had a constitutional aversion to creating a scene, and, besides, the movements of the dancers struck him as picturesque and interesting.\u201cSit still for the present, Maria,\u201d he whispered, in answer to an enquiring glance from his wife.\u201cWe nszed not look.\u201d : So Mrs.Grundy thought ; but she noticed that the bishop did look all the same, and, an instant later, she saw him start and colour crimson.Little did she know the cause.In the front row of the band of coryphees who tripped down to the footlights at that moment, his lordship had recognized Miss Tottie Simp- 80D.\u201cIt surpasses the worst I could have imagined, Septimus!\u201d whispered Mrs.Grundy.[Look at that dreadful creature in front\u2014painted up to the eyes! Why, what is she doing?1 declare the hussy is nodding and laughing at us !\u201d \u201cNonsense, Maria ; it must be to some ome behind,\u201d said the poor bishop with a jerk of his shoulder in the direction of his brother of Laputa.\u201cIt is some one in this direction,\u201d continued the lady, \u201cand I declare that there\u2019s another behind her doing it too.\u201d Mrs.Grundy was right.In the row be- bind Miss Tottie was another of Mr.Hawthorne's Gospel Players, who had just recognized the Bishop of Laputa and bestowed a friendly nod on that young and good-looking prelate.Bishop Grundy took out his handkerchief and mopped his brow.What would Tottie do next?That was the agonizing thought upon his mind.Would she kiss her hand?He#ven alone could tell what these girls were capable of, His lordship felt the eyes of the whole house (not to mention those of Mrs.Grundy) upon him and Tottie.It was the most awful moment of his life.\u201cI sball leave the theatre for a moment, Maria,\u201d he whispered.\u201cIt is worse than I expected.1 feel it is\u2014h\u2019m\u2014necessary to make & protest.You had better remain here.Ishall return for theWast act.\u201d With that he rose and made his way out.It seemed as if all his lordship\u2019s party in the Synod were only waiting the signal, for simultaneously the Bishops of Lapata, Coventry, Botany Bay and California, rose and left, followed by the ebony prelate of Ulundi, who creat:d a profound impression by treading on the toes of every ladv he passed on his way out.The withdrawal of their lordships wag, of course, noticed all overthe house, and its significance could ndt be mistaken.The six dissentient prelates met in the corridor, While they were standing there, up came a gentleman of atfable bearing and courteous manne rs, and introduced himself as Mr.Oldrury.He expressed himself stricken with remorse and dismay that anything in the ballet should have given offence to his guests, and besought their lordships to remain for the rest of the performauce.The bishops murmured that such was their intention.\u201c1 confess I think ita pity that you introduced this dancing business,\u201d said the Bishop of Malta, with a mixture of hauteur and condescension.\u201cStill, we must not look a gift-horse in the mouth, Mr.Oldrury.On the whole, we are indebted to you for à very agreeable entertainment.\u201c Delighted to hear it, I am sure,\u201d said Mr.Oldrury in & much more cheerful tone.\u201c Now, might I ask if any of your lordships would honour me by taking a peep at our stage and scenic arrangements ?I take the liberty of hoping that a moment's personal inspection would correct many misconceptions.Thauk you, my lord.This way, please.Mind the steps, gent'emen.\u201d Mr.Oldrury had moved off as he delivered his invitation, and was followed by the Bishop of Ulundi.The example of the black bishop led the others to follow one by one, until Dr.Grundy found himself bringing up the rear of the procession, * * * * * * The curtain had been down some time, and the orchestra were taking their places again for the next act.Mrs.Grundy was looking rather anxiously at the door by which her husband had disappeared, when simultaneously exclamations from several parts of the house called ber attention to the stage.\u201cLook, look,\u201d she heard, \u201cthe curtain\u2019s going up.Something\u2019s wrong!\u201d Something certainly was.The curtain was going up, and\u2014good heavens! \u2014what was it revealing?Left centre\u2014two bishops with two ladies of the ballet.Right centre\u2014two more bishops with two more ladies of the ballet.Up the stage, centre, one bishop (my lord of Malta) in conversation with one lady of the ballet (Miss Tottie Simpson.) In the extreme distance a negro bishop tete-a- tete with Cherubino (Madame Schi- cini), It was all over in quarter the time it takes to tell.There was a wild shriek on the stage, In an instant fleshings and gaiters scuttled wildly away in different directions.Then down came the curtain again, amid one of the most spontaneous roars of laughter ever heard in a theatre, and Mrs, Grundy was seen to rise from her seat and rush wildly out of the auditorium.* * + * * * * There were six empty chairs at the Lambeth Conference next morning.Within a few hours six ladies, each attended by a bishop, might have been observed leaving London en route for various portions of the globe.\u2014London Truth, By Prorer CARE OF THE Bony, each one can enjoy health and attain a happy old age.Most
