I said once on a time that a fu- neral service was a barbarous thing, an unneceseary strain, an intrusion { of forms and conventionalities on the ! privacy of grief, a ghoulish, morbid | sort of ceremony that ought to be ; done away with. | T could see no reason for its | istence except the crystallizations of { custom, and I said I would never willingly have a funeral service held over me. A brief commitment serv- ice and cremation were my ideal of the happiest way of dealing with the unfortunate residue the spirit leaves behind it. They Actually Have a Value. Gradually I have come to stand that funeral services, other apparently futile customs, actu- ally have a value. They are a screen | reaved and a full b Suppose there were no funecrals at all. Suppose that a few hours after death the body were removed with a brief private ceremony. Think of the appalling emptiness, the blankness that would ensue. There has been all the confusion, the excittment, the strain of sick- ness. It is all over at once. There has been so much to do—and now there is nothing! 3 { | | [ | i under- like many between the realization of be- 1o This is What Jus Funerals are to give people some- fies Funerais. thing to do for a day or two. Because of funerals, there are rangements to there aré no- relatives to notify. Flowers come and one must look at them and know whom they are from. The one who is bereaved may re- sent all this. FHe wishes to relax into an apathy of grief and feels that these formalities arc the last straw. In reality “something to do whether he wants to or not” is saving him from himself. How We Hate It and How It Saves Us, After the funeral there are notes to write, letters of condolence to an- swer, and thanks for flowers. Another intrusion—how one res it! And how it saves one, carries one along a bit further toward the period when time will have healed the wound just that bare trifle which makes the ache within the power of human endurance! When one is voung, one scornfully ppints out the uselessness of so many of the formalities and conventions of life. But as one grows a bit older one bezins to be a bit less sure. Do you ever wonder What life will change your mind about next? 7o, Cominem ar- malke, write, tices to A STORY YOCU cAN By ZOE BEGIN Her Side-- tio» Cora ‘and David Temple Solved Their Marital FProblems : BECKLYY AT ANY and His 1TIME Where Is om the day Janet and coll, walking uptown together from the of- fice, had seen Walter Stedman and Lucy go into Lucys studio, a feeling of dread settled over Janet. Up to that time no thought of Walt's disloy- alty had entered, her mind. On the contrary, Janet blamed herself for the whale situation. If she had not been €0 keen on her own advancement in the business world she might have | learned to keep Walt in This writnig ! work. At least she might have made and keep a cheerier, sweeter home at- mosphre—such as it had been when they were first married and Janet's business cares were lighter. But Lucy, artist and bohemian, had offered her help, and it had proven | { just the sort of help and collaboration Walt most needed. Janet could not, | under the circumstances, find fault. | g Roy Nicoll's interpretation, how ever, was quite different.

One who cares for him at that!” It” was not her husband's possible “unfaithfulness” that tormented J et. The coarser forms of love were | not o part of Janet's speculation. Be- | sides, Walt had convinced her long agb that he felt no attraction for Lucy save that of intellect. But their | intellectual affinity was the very thing she now began to fear and dread. What if, as Roy Nicoll adroitly con- | trived to hint, Walt no longer set| value upon what scant companionship | Janet could give? What if Walt were tired of her? Weary of her commer- cial ideals? Out of sympathy with her | mbition to make great popular | magazine of ‘Woman'? Perhaps all he wanted was his bohemia, his art and writer friends, his congenial souls who, toiling for “pure ideals” them-' elves, understood him and his aims as his wife, so prosperous in bus- | iness sense, could never do? One moment Janet would grow cold | at the very possibility of losing her, husband’s love. The next, in her re- | action from dread, a_wave of defiance | would engulf her.

If the present high standard is ad- hered to,—and there are good rea- sons for believing .that it will be,— there should be fewer tiresome out of town trips made by those who have heretofore been unable to find sati factory amusement in their own city. The present company at the Ly- ceum is a most capable one and a good performance may always be de- pended upon, irrespective of what may be the play. However, the class of plays underlined is in keeping with the quality of the company. Next week’s offering is ‘““Baby Mine,” Marguerite Clark’s greatest and most recent success. It is considered one of the brightest and cleanest come- dies on the stage today. Indeed, so great was it's success, that it has been translated into French, German and . Austrian, furnishing laughter for the great'cities of Paris, Berlin and Vienna.
