EVENING CHAT
BY RUTH CAMERON

OF all the unciyilized customs of
this supposedly civilized country, fun
eraI services, such as we now have,
seem to me the very worst.
I hope I shall live to see the day
when such services are as much
things of the past as the funeral
wreaths of wax or hair that used to
hang on our grandmother walls, are
today.
Please do not be so hidebound by
what has always been, that you abso-
lutely refuse to think of this as pos
sibility, or even sane suggestion.
Please try to look at it unpreju-
dicedIy.
Does a funeral service accomplish
any good purpose whatsoever?
1t harrows feelings already harrow
ed beyond endurance.
How very often after one of these
horrible ordeals you hear something
like this:
Yes. she got through the funeral
