PERPETUAL CARE.

PERPETUAL CARE.
The old way of having the friends
or family of the departed ones care
for their graves was found very
unsatisfactory, and glance at
Rosedale will show that the plan
established there insures continual
care. In fact, an endowment fund
for the perpetual care Of the cem-
etery has now reached a sum ex-
ceeding s1so.OOo. and constant addi-
tions are being made to this, so
that for all time to come Rosedale
cemetery will receive the best of
care. Each succeeding year the
beauty of this park-like memorial
city will be enhanced instead of
showing the ravages of time. as
under old-time management of
burial places.
Instead of the ugly stone or wood
en- slabs, marked with the name and
dates of birth and death, one sees
now graceful pillars of marble or
some rose-tinted granite, with per-
haps a simple favorite verse OF the
deceased and maybe the name, or.
in most cases, the Christian name.
The family plot is then marked with
the surname. Many of these monu-
ments are works of art, classic in
design, though in most instances
simple. There is none of the old
time, weary length of inscription,
wherein the virtues of the deceased
were set forth for those who passed
to smile over.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. uxS1 IrSxxxSx<s
BY E. NJ. scHLEY.

W THILE the builders of the City
" Beautiful are receiving eu-
logy for their splendid efforts
in making Los Angeles notable the
world over for it's artistic homes, its
semi-tropic gardens whose gorgeous
flowers, ever blooming, afford a color
feast all the year around; for the
splendid, well-kept roadways and
boulevards. and last, but by no
means least, the artistic and splen-
did public and commercial build
ings that grace our business streets,
1t is we'll that due praise be meted
out to those who planned and are
caring for the City of the Dead. In
a quiet, unostentatious way this
splendid labor has oeen going on
for years. in fact, since 1884, when
Rosedale cemetery became reality
Most of us are too prone to look
with horror on the place that has
become the last earthly home of
thousands. We have become ac-
customed to associate the word
cemetery with those places of waste
and neglect our forefathers knew,
where ugly slabs of stone or wood
marked off the regulation six feet of
sod allotted to each one who had
passed to the Great Beyond. In the
past, TIE care of these plots was,
for the most part, attended to by
members of the family to which de-
ceased one belonged-if there were
any sGch. For some years the
grave would be beautifully tended,
kept green and a towering plant or
two lightened up the somber tomb
stone. Then, perhaps, the family
moved to a different community
tn grave became neglected and
unsightly. If the family ever re-
turned and visited the grave the
horror of cemeteries became greater
than ever, pricked by a conscience
that spelled out the word Neglect"
And so, perhaps, this was the way
we came to regard the resting
places of the dead as odious and
awful.
But with the advent of modern
methods, applied to all institutions
and places, the cemetery of the old
days has vanished under a plan
that is both feasible and satisfac-
tory.
Anyone visiting Rosedale cem-
etery for the first time is wonder
fully impressed and breathes a sigh
of relief that the old order of things
has been done away with. Here all
is grace, beauty, harmony, and
carried oct with a plan that en-
compasses the entire enclosure.
From the main entrance walks
and driveways interseet, verdant,
sloping lawns edged by rows or
beautiful palm trees standing as
peaceful sentinels guarding the
precious ones who are peacefully
sleeping just beyond. Roses that
speak of love and innocence, red
and white, alternate with the palms
and SEM out a sweet fragrance on
the balmy air. One is agreeably
impressed, and I have often OBJ
served numbers of people strolling
easily along these rose-bordered
paths or resting comfortably and
happily on the benches placed at in
tervals, whose mission was only rec
reation and who had no loved
ones lying in the graves beyond.
1t is a beautiful pastoral scene and

nificent crematory in the northern
extremity of Rosedale park. 1t is
no doubt the best equipped crema-
tory in the United States and no
money or pains were spared in the
building or arrangement. To some,
who believe that burial is of date
with other discarded beliefs, the
crematory seems a blessing; the
method sanitary and scientific, and
the moral impressive; a change of
form; the spirit departs, and what
is left mere earthly clay, were bet
ter quickly transformed and placed
in a niche, as the dear departed
one inhabits one of the intimate cor
ners of your heart and mind. What
a gift is memory! To know that
the earthly woes of the dear one
are dona forever-that all suffering
is past-is truly cause for thanks
giving; to know that the spirit, the
spark or intelligence-call it what
you will-has gone on to brighter
ltditilS W iiNO NiiN hAbhNi iiASs eiiNN
only in your memory Is there any
earthly trace of the dear one, only
in your memory, and the few par
ticles of dust that you scatter to
the elements! That seems mt and
sacred to me.
We are of many minds on these
great subjects, and each to each his
way seems right. and no doubt is
right. 1t is we'll that we live in a
day and age when liberality Of
thought and action is allowed to
each and every one. and choice
is offered of two or more ways for
almost any problem we have to
determine.
In this way harmony is the key
note we all strive for. We are, per-
haps. greater lovers OF beauty than
our ancestors before us for several

them to the leisure and wealth of
those to come, for whom they build
ed Now we know art for IS
sake, and most of us, however
slender our income, strive to have
as much beauty about our dwell
ings as we have time to care for;
flowers, shrubs and green lawns
are on every hand, particularly In
California, where climate so signal
ly favors US.
1t is a comforting thought to
know that loved ones who have left
the home never to return are rest
ing amid bower of flowers. Senti-
ment plays large part in the lives
of most of us, and 1t is well. for 1t
humanizes our other traits that are
not so agreeable. Flowers and birds
and the southland; there is, no
doubt many mother, wife or
sweetheart in the cold, bleak east
whose life is less lonely and SORROW
full for the remembrance that the
dear one buried in far off California
is covered in a pail of exquisite
flowers, even though the day be in
midwinter. Particularly would this
thought appeal to women, those un-
selfish ones who. perhaps, with one
great last effort have brought here
one who is nigh unto death. hoping
against hope that the balmy air OF
Southern California would work
miracle. Then the Reaper stepped
in and the long vigil was over. 1t
was not so hard to bear. or so Bit
ter to leave and return home, when
the last resting place was so beau
tlful as Rosedale. 1t is the inevita-
BILE law-the end of each and every
one of us-but there is no reason why
we should feel horror and repug-
nance for the resting place of those
who have gone before. 1t is only the
greatest change In the many that
come to us:
There is Reaper whose name is
Death,
And with his sickle keen
He reaps. the bearded grain at
breath,
And the flowers that grow between.

Great Grief and Head shaving.

Among the ancients shaving the head
was n very common mode Of express
ing great grief or sorrow. Sometimes
It was done by The priest or some other
religious functiOnary formally cutting
or the hair. sometimes by violently
plucking II out by the roots. In eX-
treme cases among men the beard az
well as the hair was either cut off or
plucked out. The idea seems 10 have
been that mourners should divest them
selves Of that which under ordinary cir
cumstanccs was considered most beau
tiful, ornamental and becoming. Lu-
clan land he Is not the only one who
gives points on this queer mourning
custom says that the Egyptians ex-
pressed their intense sorrow by cutting
of the hair upon the death Of their god
Apis and that the Syrans acted In the
same manner at the death Of Adonis.
Olympiadorus remarks concerning Job

long hair was regarded as an ornament

fered il upon such occasions to grow
