however. would wear a black robe for TWO
or three days and then cast il aside, or.

and the flesh depended largely upon the
robustness and symmetrical formation OF
the shoulders .s.

coarse black garments. and the women

as il very often is now. that lamentations
are for the ears Of the living rather than
for the repOse Of the soul OF the dead
