winter visitor who brought letters
of introduction to me six weeks ago.
told me last night that of all the sights
he had beheld in this city he was most
deeply impressed by the beauty, sim
plicity and tenderness of all the ar
rangements for the burial of the dead
in Los Angeles. Now, wasn't that
queer? Here is what he said:
"a daughter of an eastern friend of
mine died in this city recently. The
undertaken came and hung a soft bunch
of gray silk ribbons on the door knob.
And after the corpse had been laid out
he placed over the body a perfect man.
tie of flowers. He returned next day,
bringing a beautiful gray casket.
AT the cemetery l observed that the
covered by a tarpaulin and that chairs
were arranged alongside for members
of the family.
But the grave itself was a study
that fascinated me. The opening was
completely hidden by green willows
WHICH appedTeu 10 nave grown out lTOnl
the sides. These in turn were fringed
with roses, so that when the coffin was
laid across it there was nothing to be
seen of the grave. When the brief
services were concluded the undertaken
stopped and touched a button-as IL
seemed to me-and slowly the casket
began to descend, apparently of it's own
motion.
almost imperceptibly it sank lower
and lower, still closely pressed by the
greenery and flowers, until in an in
stant the bending willows sprang back
into place at the top. The casllet had
disappeared. The grave was still COW
cred over by the roses.
"The whole performance struck me
as being beautiful and tender beyond
description. In all the course of my
eastern experience l never saw any
thing like it. 1t seems to me that Los
Angeles has learned now to rob death
of many of it's terrors''
And that's right, too.

Isn't It a trine curious, Mr.. Editor,
that so many ladies persist in the folly
of wearing costumes in street cars that
are only proper to wear in carriages?
The other night while on Broad
way, saw handsome young woman
attlred in a fine silk dress with fluffy
laces and embroideries, white slippers,
etc, crossing the street in a pouring
rain, stepping into puddles of water as
she ran and the rain beating down up
on her uncovered head. She was ac-
companied by an elderly lady, also
handsomely dressed and bareheaded. I
felt sorry for them.
1t is true they were in proper even
ing costume, and looked stylish as any
body when they once reached the thea
ter, where they were manifestly going;
but It seemed to me curious that they
should ignore the weather and the
means of transportation within their
reach.
1 confess to being somewhat of a
sticller for everything in it's place"
If the costumes described had been
covered by a long cloak or by a crav-
enette, they would have appeared to
better advantage-by reason of not be-
ing seen.
If ladies will wear carriage costumes
ON the street, they should take some
precaution to protect themselves from
inclement weather.
