Roth deceased were in widely sep- arated spheres of Hfe, but each with a great following of friends—the one a philanthropist, the other a theatrical star. As the funeral cortege moved along through the crowds, a significant foa- ture of the event was the enormous loads of flowers that followed the pro- cession, These great Moral tributes attested to the friendship and were the outward signs of appreciation felt by the people who were interested in the two who had passed beyond. Whiid I have the highost respect for the donors of these tributes in their efforts to ehow the esteem in which tifey held the departed ones somehow I can't help wishing there was a new way of showing this, a different social code adopted whereby appreciation might be demonstrated in a more far- reaching bay Somehow I can't help wishing that these thousands of dollars spent. in the flowers that would alsd be dead at » the end of a fow hours might be used to promote happiness for the living instead, Somehow I can't help wishing that T could take such money that is spent in beautiful blossoms that seemingly lend sadness to the occasion and use it to bring Joy in some quiet co: where somebody is suffering for t want of a necensity, Somehow I can't help wishipg that prominent pgople would write ito thelr wills that any person who wants to pay homage to them in the form of flowers shalt use that money to give happiness to some little child fwome very old person or any one who needs the chime of cheer, but who is con- fronted with a dirge of distress, Such a wish in such a will would give eatiefaction not only to the de- ceased, but to the giver and the re- clpient, Perhaps a woful want would be met, and certainly all three would profit thereby As It is, the passing flowery are but an outward show that is gone at ¢! end of the day. When I die if any good friend wants to show this last respect to me, I want him to display it in good fellow- atip to some one who needs it more than 1 do, If there le such a thing aa life after death, I would Igok down on such a person and say with approval ‘Tin woll, The flowers would have been no good to me, but my departure haa not been In vain, You haye used It to give to some one comfort or solace or joy which [ can no longer feel, Jn this way my going has done a little good in a real material, practical way Perhaps the survivors of some dear ones won't agree with me since flow. have been regarded #o long as test of the esteem in which the di ceased has been held, but I believe that if these good people thought about It seriously and realized that in place of thene floral offerings a needy one haa been enriched, they would be giad to have such a worthy substitu- tlon. lly ts this true when, in many cases, people have sent flowers at death that had never thought of th: during the lifetime of the indi- vidual.
