THE CHURCH LADS' BRIGADE.—A PLEA FOR TIDINESS.
ITO rum Emma or ram "srocriroo."1
Sm.,—Newlands Corner, not far from Guildford, is one of the beauty spots of Surrey, and a delightful place for an Easter Monday parade, or for any outing. It was therefore a pleasure to see the boys of a Church Lads' Brigade enjoying there, under disciplined conditions, the sunshine and the panorama and their lunch. But I was distressed to see them form up to march off with no attempt made at tidying up their litter of orange-peel and paper. This was no doubt an oversight, and not due to any wilful neglect; but a word sent round from their headquarters ought to render each a crime against good manners impossible in the future.—I am, Sir, etc.,
VIATOR.
[We agree; but the present writer is glad to be able to add that on Easter Monday he had the pleasure of seeing members of the Church Lads' Brigade taking the utmost care to " tidy up" and destroy all litter after a bivouac in a private field. They should unquestionably be taught that it is just as bad manners to defile public phIces with paper, orange- peel, and old bottles.—En. Spectator.]
