more consideration than the living.
Women who rarely received a flower
when they could enjoy them are laid to
rest in collins literally covered with
choice blossoms that would have brought
weeks of happiness to real flower lover.
| do not like the custom. | prefer to
associate flowers with happiness rather
than sadness, to say the nice things to
living ears rather .iaa dead ones. 1t is
not a pleasant thought that one must
wait till death to get Il bis of praise or
to be appreciated at anything like a true
value. 1t takes so little to make the
world pleasant for men and women,
hardly more than smile or word, and
we do not give it.
