case some people might question the good
taste of the fact but the custom having
thus had a beginning, it has been almost
universally followed here since. But sor-
row of this nature is Of so peculiarly pri.
vate character that it does seem strange to
one not familiar with the custom, that it is
necessary to give further publicity than tina.

does the invitation to funeral read weeks
