People Often Express Their Preferences
In the Matter of Style.

In the Matter OF Style.
at never actually knew anybody who
kept his coffin in his house." said an I'M
dertaker, but have read of snch things,
and have no doubt they are true, just as
1 believe the stories Of some women keep
Ing in the bottom Of bureau drawers their
own grave clothes, which they made them
selves But men sometimes choose, If not
the particular casket in which they want
to be buried, the style of coffin that they
prefer, and know Sf one man who drew
the plans for the casket in which he was
buried.
He had his own ideas of what was
most suitable, and we made casket in
accordance with the drawings which he
furnished and then boxed it up and stored
1t for him. He was a man advanced in
years. 1t Is interesting to note that the
casket so planned had square ends and
perfectly straight sides and ends In fact,
in shape it was precisely tho same as the
present most advanced style of modern
burial Casket, which was not introduced
until some years afterward.
at is not at all unusual for men to look
at caskets, express admiration Of some Of
them and say that they would like to be
buried in such or such style. These men
might be simply friends who had come to
sec me- or they might bo hero on business,
but not with regard to funeral. Some
of the modern burial caskets are very
costly and beautiful and as unlike tho old
fashioned coffin as could be imagined. 1t
is no wonder that men should admire
them, but it doesn't follow at all that
they expect soon to need one.
"a few months ago there came in O
man and his wife, people of perhaps 80
years, and 1 should say well to do, who
wanted to look at tho baskets, or rather
he did. They came to a very beautiful
casket Of mahogany, one of modern style,
with square ends and straight sides and
ends and carved little, but not overelab
orately. Evidently he had heard of such
a casket before or had seen one, and so was
familiar with it, and he admired it greatly.
"'There, he said to his wife, calling
her by her name, that is the kind Of
casket that would like to be buried in,
and it was clear that it seemed to him
very beautiful, as it certainly was. But,
bless us, he is like everybody else almost.
have no doubt he expects to live for
hundred years. l saw him at the theater
the other night with his wife. They had
dined comfortably and they were in the
fullest enjoyment of life, and 1 fancy that
it will DO many years before either of them
comes to the end Of life, but l venture to
say that if he dies first his wife will faith
fully see that he is buried in n mahogany
casket such as he admired. New York
