Society In Gorgeous Gowns Turns Out En- MaSse to Most
Brilliant Affair of Kind Ever Held In This
Country

/ Nothing else Just like the Lenox horse
show has ever taken place in this coun-
try, and yesterdays scene resembled
nothing so much as a great picnic, for
everybody wore their prettiest clothes,
their pTettiest manners, and carried
their hampers filled with luncheon via
them. Il was quite like an English
show, and the most fetching affair ever
given IN LenoX.

grief and respect for those who are
taken away.
In spite of all obstacles, in spite
of not inexplicable desire on the
part of the very poor to show that
they can make as brave a showing
on funeral parade as the vulgar
rich, there are sane men and women
in all walks of life who are trying,
by precept and example, to abate
what is, under certain conditions, an
expensive and inexcusable folly-Ta
waste of money that might well be
applied to the wants of those TO
whom death too often means the
loss of financial support.
4 Catholic clergyman in Dorches-
ter. Mass, addressing his flock on
matters of religious and parochial
Importance, has something to say
at this time upon the subject of
funerals that is worthy of consider
alton by men and women of all
faiths.
/. Announce that the funeral viii be
private
? Invite relatives and friends gener-
ally TO attend the requiem services IA
the church
g Hire all the carriages through the
undertaken, SO that he may have per
feet control over the drivers.
f. IN the case of ordinary private
citizens, il would seem that ten car
riages would constitute a proper funeral
procession 10 follow the body 10 the
graveyard. None should go TO the
graveyard but those invited by the be
reaved family The last act Of the sOT'
rOWful parting from our friends should
be Witnessed by only a sympathetic
few.
3. If many flowers are sent by sympa'
thizing friends. let the undertaken carry
into the church only one small piece 70
be placed on the casket.
8. Do not request that some semi
religious song be sung at the end O1
the mass. It detracts from the solemn
/ ity and propriety OF the church's funera
| service.
The example of Rev. Francis J
Butler, of St. Leo's Church, Dorches-
ter, Mass, should be followed by
others.

Funeral Exhibitions.

1t is generally admitted by those
who have given consideration TO the
subject that the conversion of funer-

barism which should be discOurag-
ed. It is good TO know, therefore
that there is steady growth of the
