Funeral Flowers.

The use of colored flowers for wreath
and cross making appears to be on the
increase. | recently saw q wreath
made of vallotas, and it Is not uncom.
mon to see wreaths in Covent garden
almost entirely composed of eolored
flowers. remarked one few days
since made of purple asters. Autumnal-
tinted foliage is also used and has
a nice effect. There is something APP
propriate in the employment of foliage
in the last stage Of its life for funeral
decorations. If once the custom of
employing white flowers exclusively
for this purpose is broken through it
may be taken for granted that for
some time to come at least compare
lively few wreaths will be made of
white flowers alone. 1t has hitherto
been a matter of sentiment; for the
future it will probably be question
of taste as regards the choice of flowers
for wreaths and crosses Il is 70 be
hoped that the change OF fashion viii
be decided and permanent, as we have
SO many flowers suitable for this pur-
pose that have hitherto been put aside
on account of their color. Colored
flowers are now much used for the
decoration of graves, as many cannot

Engagements of marriage are COM
ing to be considered more seriously
with each year In the youth of our
new world many curious and crude
customs prevailed which the march Of
progress and time ebolishes- 1t is only
during the later generation that the
betrothal in America has assumed any
thing of the serious and Gignified na-
ture which is accorded TO it abroad. A
few of our moneyed families. to be
sure, whose wealth enabled them to
mix with older countries. have been
engagement almost as serious matter
as the marriage. but it is only recently
that the usages Of intelligent people
who I'LL our lesser cities and towns
have accepted the idea
In many places the engagement of
young people is still attended with pro-
found secrecy. In country towns any
rumor of the existence of such q rela-
ton between q young man and 3
young woman meets with the most in
dignant denials, even If the wedding
day Is set. Secrecy seems to be con-
sidered q necessary element OF happi-
ness in the betrothsl of the country
couple. Each party appears wounded
and indignant, as over q personal loss,
when public rumor makes their secret
neighborhood talk.
/ Strange a girl can't talk TO q fellow
twice without meddling folks saying
they're engaged" cries the offended
bride elect. And wish folks would
