The form of church servico, and particularly tan marriage service was criticised at the conference of Modern Churchmen at Bristol.

VICAR AND BEACH PYJAMAS

CRITIC OF SEASIDE ·

GIRLS

Yarmouth at the height of the summer season is criticised by the Rev. C. H. Harvey, Vicar of Wood- hall Spa, Linca, in an article in his parish magazino,

The church choir recently went and the vicar there for a trip accompanied them. He writes:

"We had an enjoyable day at Yarmouth, but.

.never ja my life have I seen such a collection and weedy of beach pyjamas youthe-yet they all acomed happy. They say it takes all sorts to make a world, but it seemed to me that it was a pity it took so many of that class.

Why it should be considered no the height of pleasure to make one-

cannot think, but if I were a young man and saw my girl bedecked in those appalling beach pyjamas 1 should look for another girl. To' which the younger generation will reply: Stupid old fossil-he's a contury behind the times.""

A Yarmouth Rely.

The general opinion of the townspeople is that Mr. Harvey's statement is really a libel on the joyour holiday crowd.

Owing to the hot summer beach Pyjamas have been very popular. There has been little, if anything, to which the most fastidious could take exception.

Indeed, many of the costumes have been on most attractive lines, and the bright and varied hues have added greatly to the galety of the holiday scenes.

In respect to the so-called weedy. youths, Mr. Harvey must have been very unfortunate in the young men he came across, for on the bench and parade, at any time con be seen scores of specimens of well-built young manhood.

Weedy ones there may be here and there, but after a week or tavo at Yarmouth they look much fitter.
