A NOTE OF SYMPATHY

Immediately knowing of death In the
family of a friend should show formal recog
milton OF the fact even though the acquaintance
be slight. Only II one is really old friend does
send note go to the house, but unless
some attention is paid to the aflicton those who
are undergoing 1t have way OF knowing
whether the others from whom they have not
heard are aware of 1t.
To post ones visiting card, or, better still, to
leave it at the house in person is the most formal
way one may do. Something may be written on
the card not, chooses; but generally
speaking, if writes at all the form should
take that of note and not line card.
which may always be considered casual, saving
the bother of note. The card, which should be
accompanied also by that Of the husband when
a woman is married, is addressed to the widow
or widower the may be, or to the parents
when the death has been that Of child.
Flowers which may be sent are addressed to
the head of the house and visiting cards are
placed in the box. 1t is not good form to send
them when funeral notices request that flowers
shall be omitted. II one is keenly desirous of ex
pressing a sympathy which is felt may wait
until after the funeral services and send flowers
to the person most deeply bereaved. the wife
or widow. Only at that time blossoms

a funeral supposed to be for at the

sent several days afterward are undoubtedly
meant for the use of the Individual to whom they
addressed.
It is a very pretty thought to show such
attention week after a funeral for those

grief is quickly forgotten by their friends. who
