Flowers Necessary at Funerals.

: The Rhode Island supreme court has
rendered a decision that flowers form
necessary feature of funeral The
case under consideration was an ac-
ton brought by a florist against the
administrators of the estate OF de-
ceased citizen who had refused to pay
for flowers furnished on the credit of
the estate. The court justified the ex-
penditure, remarking that 8" the GUS
tom of having flowers at funerals is
well-nigh universal in this country and
that, when not abused by extrava-
gance or unseemly ostentation, it is
certainly to be commended as giving
appropriate expression to our feelings
of respect and love for the departed. :"
