ebrating her ninetieth birthday, and who
had invited her children, grandchildren
and great-grandohildren besides neighbors
to the number of fifty, to meet with her.
The party met at the residence of Mrs.
Clark's son, G. E. Clark, and it was
most enjoyable occasion. At the table
there were seated three ladies, each of
whom was ninety years of age, there
being beside Mrs. Clark, Mrs. Gould
Smith, and Mrs. Alfred Mallett, the two
having been born in 1909 and having been
quite infrm, age having settled upon
them, 80 that assistance is needed in walk
ing.
With Mrs. Clark, however, time has
been very lenient and though small
woman, weighing only about ninety
pounds, she is as spry as most women at
forty, and she was here, there and every
where attending to the wants of her
guests. In entering or leaving carriage
she scorns assistance and will spring light
ly therefrom before one has chance to
offer assistance. 1t was an occasion long
to be remembered and Mrs. Clark caused
all to smile when she took the arm of
a friend and remarked that she
believed she could dance as easily as she
could at her wedding, which took place
seventy years ago, and from her actions
the huests all believe that she could have
done so. From all appearances Mrs.
Clark will be able to invite the friends
to birthday parties for some years to
come.

TO HONOR The DEAD.
We Bow to Fashion in Mourning
Our Friends.
THE CHANGING MODES IN BLACK.
How to Robe corpse-Flowers and Rib
bons Brilliant Signs Of Grief
Grape Less in demand.
[copyrirht 1892.

We are ridiculous or sensible, unique or
shop-worn, in our fashions for the living.
Until very recently we have been only
gruesome in our fashions for the dead. 1t
was country farm house in which | saw
two silver coffin plates in deep frames of
black walnut inscribed Fathers and
Mother They hung side by side on the
walls Of damp, dark parior-the first OBJ
1ects one sees on entering the room. They
are probably hanging there yet, but out
side rock-bound customs Of the eastern
village, modes of mourning and the ETH
quette Of sorrow change, while grief re-
mains forever the same.
Each new form improves upon the last
until we are no longer gruesome; we were
subdued, unpretentious. and mourn with
perfection of detail, unless an undertaken
forgets q seemingly trivial item, or a fam
lily in which death has occurred do not
thoroughly understand Sheir part in the
pageantry of death.
The undertaken of one of the largest
New York parishes has infinitely detailed
an account of the funeral arrangements,
and they are given here.
1t is for the undertaken, of course, TO
take immediate possession Of the room and
body Of deceased person, nor is it neces-
sary for the family 10 be asked question,
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1892-11-20

yellow and white are the favorite colors :;
pink roses in huge loose punches, four OF
which may cover the entire coffin lid, tied
withwhite ribbons. yellow chrysan themums
tied with long green ribbons; orchids of
any variety: white flowers which may
roughly follow the form of cross or pillar,
but SO vaguely that the suggestion of de-
sign is just limited. All these are frequent
orders at well known florists. For a
middle-aged person violets are largely
used. They are laid csrelessly
into the form of wreath, and
then tied with wide royal purple ribbon.
1t is odd. Almost startling, is it notg Yet
it is the first favorite of the hour. Violets,
too, are scatteted one by one over the robe
and in the coffin. Carnations are used in
profusion for middle aged or elderly peo-
pie. They are laid in punches, each one a
tribe lower than the next, and then the
finishing touch is added with yard or
more of ribbon, when several friends send
lunches OF roses and carnations caught
with ribbons Of many hues. The effect is
remarkably striking. And vet there is
new fashion, for every flower Is worthy of
place near death. Palm leaves are IN de-
mand for decorations. Two large ones NAV
be crossed, tied with dark green ribbon
an laid upon the casket of an old man or
woman. Ivy wreaths, and long festoons
come next to yiolets in popularity. The
English ivy is used every where about the
rooms for decorations and in quantities
upon the coffin. Ii has replaced similax.
and is most effective with its dark green
simmer.
Mourning in dress is just now not to be
ckOned with. One authority says crane
/ as correct as it has ever been, and that
ne would not think of suggesting anything
else for 3 widows veil. Another assured
me- that Grape is going out rapidly. and
where twenty five yards used to be sold
one Is bargaiued for at present. Certainly
there are substitutes less sombre and con-
spicuous than the heavy cum berscme Grape
which many fashionable women are wear
ing today One is an extra fine quality of
nuns yelling, and the other IS very light
Henrietta cloth. With both of these a
black face veil with Grape border is worn.
When Grape is preferred, as many as
six or eight yards are fastened to
the tiny bonnet. Part falls over the
face well to the waist, and the
rest deeply hemmed, must reach below It
behind. No wonder women wish to do
away with fashion so unnecessary and
extreme. Daughters wear for q par
ents death low turban shaped hat with
light quality of Grape or nuns yelling.
After six months they may don lovely
Scotch plaid dresses. black and white, or
beautiful English cheviots of gray. The
widows must wear Grape for two years as
trimming upon their gowns of Henrietta
cloth, imperial serge or srmure silk. Wild
ows' mourning dresses may be elaborate
1t Is possible for wealthy woman to dress
more handsomely in black than in colors.
but grief, true grief, will tolerate nothing
but the very refinement of subdued, well
bred, unnoticeabie expression

Since embalming is removing the neces-
sity of speedy burial the time Of in terment
IS also being heightened. Instead of the
second day after death, the fourth or even
fifth IS now the correct period for burial
This allows more time for friends to arrive
and for perfected arrangements. Opinions
differ as to the hour OF the funeral and
circumstances also have a word TO say
about it. Perhaps the most convenient
time is 10 O'Clock in the morning any day
but Sunday.
The undertaken told me that this change
s. quite q radical innovation upon the old
custom OF Sunday afternoon funerals. He
gives two reasOns-one is the parade and
publicity of a funeral cortege winding
through the gay carriages Of Sunday
pleasure seekers, and the other is that on
9 week Gay. TO q. q. is almost the only
hour when business men can leave their
Offices. An early morning funeral also is
very convenient when the cemetery is at 8
distance.
AS TO the shrouding Of a body. styles are
In transition. Many people still wish their
dead to be buried in the garments they
wore In life, but there is something un.
necessarily painful in the contrasted state
OF being. Not long ago brilliant belle lay
STARK in q himy ball gown and little dane
ing shoes. Another was laid in her coffin
with her bridal dress and veil upon her as
she would have walked in few DAYS 10
the altar Their friends were hysterical.
and the funerals were sensational specta-
cles instead of decorously subduec cere-
monies.
Extremes like this are, happily, seldom
reached, yet, on the whole, burial robes
furnished by the undertaken are coming
more and more into vogue. They are usu-
ally very simple-a Prince Albert suit for
men, and white. gray or delcately tinted
gowns for women. The styles vary ac-
cording to the age, exactly as in life. Of
course.
After the body has been robed. 1t Is left
undisturbed in the death chamber until
lust before the hour set for the services.
Then--and here is another change in the
usual mode-the coffin IN which the body
has been placed a short time before is
closed finally and borne TO the drawing
room.
We have bsrbaric curiosity TO see our
own kind In death, and it is a hideous
thing. How many people attend funerals
FOR nothing else in the world than TO slook
at the corpse and criticise the laoors ofloye
about it. There must be confusion, dis

turbing whispers and unlimited annoy
ances when the coffin is left open after
mere acquaintances have arrived at the
house; therefore, tho altering mode. If the
the coffin is left open at the wish OF the
family, the undertaken indicates to few
people that it is their turn to 20 forward.
After they return TO their seats a few more
are chosen. Everything is done to avoid
the appearance of display.
Even the immediate family should not
come down stairs for the services. They
ought to sit together near the head of the
stairs. while the clergyman stands near
the foot. This is a mooted point, know,
but the undertaken whom I interviewed
was very decided as to the propriety of re-
naming away from the mere acquaint-
ances.
Friends are notified of death through
the press, unless the funeral is to be
private, when the undertaken sends cards
in the name of the family. The entire
matter of invitation to the pallbearers is
also left to him. Pallbeariug Is of course
entirely honorary, for the undertaker's
porters carry the casket, while the friends,
from four to sixteen in number, walk be-
fore them.
For church funeral the order of ar
rangement does not materially change.
First comes the boy choir, singing, from
the vestry, meeting the funeral party at
door; then the minister, who precedes the
pallbearers; behind them is carried the
casket, and following this the nearest rela-
tive walks. If a wife has died, the nus
band escorts the eldest daughter or his
wife's mother 1t is not unusual for him
to walk alone. Fewer carriages follow the
hearse 10 the grave than used to be consid-
cred even allowable.
But each year finds our mourning some
what greater.
Everything is placid except the flowers.
They f1aunt upon the quiet form in all their
warm life coverings of scarlet, purple and
gold. 1t is to prove, perhaps, that death
may be triumphant and is not to be feared.
Roses-pink, white, yellow, and, yes, even
deep, glorious red--are used in profusion.
The day of designs, "set pieces'' and in
scriptions has, let US hope, disappeared for
ever. Instead dozens and dozens of mag
nifcent long-stemmed roses are loosely
laid together and tied with ribbons of a
contrasting shade. So much now is made
of the floral decorations that they prac-
tically determine the good form;' of the
whole affair. For young person pink,

"obey" in the Marriage serv,co.

At the recent general conference OF the
Methodist Protestant church at Westmin-
ster, England, the word "obey'' was
stricken out Of the marriage service This
certainly is an indication of liberal turn
of mind. and as such should be recognized:
but after all il is az idle sort Of compliment
TO the women to strike the word "obeyi'
out of the service while the practical ne
cessity of subservieuce on the part of wife
TO husband remains, as it will remain so
long as the economic dependence of women
upon men continues. The husband Is very
little indebted TO the words of the marriage
service for his headship of the household.
It is because he feeds and clothes his wife
and has the veto power over all her wishes
so far as they involve the expenditure of
dime, that he is master. It was graceful
and suitable thing for the English Metho-
dists to strike the word ''obeyn out Of the
marriage ritual, but nationalism will do
more-lt will etrike the necessity of obedi-
ence out of the married state and put an
end to sexual severity in or out of matri-
mony. 1t seems TO Us that, however
women can afford to differ about other
things. they should all agree in being ma
tionaiists and n praying for the coming OF
the cay when they shall receive the free
dom OF the nation.-N. Y Nation.

until the body is carried into the parlor or
TO the church for the final services.
The preferred mode of preparation of
dead bodies is by embalment. Until very
recently, a strong prejudice against touch
ing the sacredness of death existed among
the most enlightened people, but fortu-
nately that is wearing away. Soon the
custom of using ice-a custom awkward,

from covering to hoor-that was the ap-
pearance of the big Democratic wigwam
when the national convention assembled.
The supposed pendants of shining can
vas were in reality stout posts support

circular canopy floating in the sky, but
was in reality substantial roof of wood
raised some distance above the walls to
admit light and air above from every
direction.
Greater magnitude, but naturally less
appearance of permanency and beauty
of finish distinguished the mammoth
temporary structure from the Repub-
lican convention hall at Mime

was old gold; here almost glare
of white, relieved only by vivid bands of
red and blue. The vista of seats, total

curious rains on Saturday last. The re-
suit was cool. damp atmosphere, like
that of country cellar on hot sum-
mer's day, when the walls sweat and
drip with moisture. To those pioneers
who had climbed the outer stairs and
were seeking their places the cool moist
ure was grateful change, though not a
permanent one. In the smoke-hazed
streets, the slowly moving and reeking
crowds betrayed an impulse toward the
lake shore where the great wigwam is.
A fringe of spectators WAS soon bound to
the fore rail Of the upper gallery. Hun
dreds of others assembled around the
aisles in the lower gallery and proceeded
to the front places, All seemed to have
brought fans and the dash Of these be-
fore the hundreds of dripping faces lent
life to the growing scene.
Umbrellas in Use.
Directly afterwards rain and thunder
storm arose, rendering necessary the
lowering Of the canvass round the air
and light spaces under the roof. The
almost Cimmerian darkness thus pro-
duced made the Chicago convention al
midday as gloomy for the time being as
the Minneapolis gathering was at mid
night when the electric lights were shut
off.
Notwithstanding the canvas protection
the rain beat in and umbrellas were
freely raised in the galleries, which were
not half full.
Occasional bright flashes of lightning
lit up the hall. It was a welcome relief
and was hailed with cheers when the
band in the gallery back of the chair
man at 1925 struck up lively air. The
storm was not of long duration. In ten
minutes the hall began to brighten, and
five minutes later the sun was out again.
At 1890 most of the delegates were in
their seats, but the galleries were
sparsely filed. Chairman Brice, of the
national committee, was on the plat
form. His entrance has passed I'M
noticed, but though everything seemed
in readiness there was some further de-
lay and even the intermittant applause
from the galleries did not hurry the pro-
ceedings.
Five minutes later Ex-Governor Camp
bells entrance was greeted with cheers
and applause, the Ohio delegates rising
in his honor As most of the delegates
were in their seats many of the silken
banners with the names of the states
were folded up and put away,
