day before Memorial Day, 1875, that
as we prepared our floral tributes
for the cemetery, my mother stole
quietly away from the group on the
piazza, and taking a handful of bios
SONS, bent her steps to that solitary
little mound under the magnolias.
In wonder our eyes followed her,
and when she returned, Josephine ex-
claimed:

Let us hope, children, that some
where in the North, kindly hearts are

she replied, gently.

did not rake off that little mound and

1t was merely one of so many thou

too, from Atlanta, was visiting us.
1t was the evening of April 2S, two
days after our Memorial Day, when
all save the bouquets in jars and
glasses had withered on the graves.
The afternoon had been very warm.
We were sitting out in the piazza, to
enjoy the approaching GOODNESS of
evening and hear the mocking-birds

Presently there came to our ears
the rattle Of an approaching vehicle;
and slowly the decrepit old carriage
at the railroad-station, which served
arriving travellers, came toiling to our
gate.

THE NAMELESS GRAVE
$S@SEzS<@E=
lBY wINIFRED LAURENs

With us in the South, Memorial
Day is an even more pathetic ami
versary than in the North. Owing to
difference of latitude and climate, too,
1t Is observed, in most Of the States,
earlier in the spring. In Georgia it
Is observed on April 26th, instead of
May 3Oth.
In the North the holiday arose from
the patriotic eXertions of General
Logan; but in the South the observ-
'snce of the day was originally due
% the personal efforts of Mrs. Will
Jams, Of Columbus, Georgia, and be-
gan earlier.
With us, however, little effort or
persuasion was required to initiate
the holiday. In many of our small
towns and villages the custom of
bearing flowers to the graves of our
dead soldiers began spontaneously.
/ remember that in the first years
after the war We were accustomed on
that day to drive TO the cemetery in
our old family carryall. loaded with
wreaths of cedar and glossy magnolia
leaves. made Oh long, plant willcw
branches; piled, too, with sprays of
uoSwOUQ anu DuSnSlS OF Wllu purple
pansies and dog-tooth violets from
the valley of the Oostanaula, and
crab-apple and peach blossoms from
the fields.
The old carryall was an arbor of
fragrance, all its old ribs and worn
wheels hidden in pink and white
blossoms.
Yet however heavily we went
loaded to the cemetery, we never had
flowers enough for all the graves,
there were so many of them Always
there would be found one more grave,
in some far corner, still bare of floral
tributes; and my father, himself
lame veteran of Lees army, would
call to us to fetch another armful.
II we said there were no more, he al
ways bade us divide those on the
other graves and make up what
seemed an equal "honor" for the neg
lected one.
There was one grave, however,
not in the cemetery, but down under
the magnolias by the fence, in the ex-
treme corner Of our grounds at
Springbank-which for many years
no one of us ever dreamed of decor
ating with flowers.
