to him as the one from which pos

were bare Of leaves and offered no
obstruction to his view. IF there had

ward symbols OF mourning should be
abandoned" says Munsey's. For many
years he has expressed his views. He
has won over n large number of peo-
pie who see no reason why the heart
should advertise its sorrow by the
conspicuous insignia Of gloom. There
are or have been peoples wiser in
their generation. The Romans of The.
days OF the republic wore blue as a
sign Of mourning. 1t IS the proper
thing In Asia Minor now. The Turk
mourns in violet and the Persian In
pale brown. Until French queen

half of the fifteenth century white was
