took the opportunity of visiting the
British museum to see the peacock:
"One glance confirmed my suspi-

ever to do with the Yezidis or their
temple. 1t is a Persian peacock of

well all the time that l am worth
one hundred ger cent to the Boss
every minuteVI am in the store;
otherwise, am cheating him.
IF l cheat the Boss by not keep

honorably."
There is absolutely no use study
ing the job unless you study health
at the same time, just as hard and
just as persistently. Health holds
the job, gives it basis to rest
on; in fact, it makes the job pos
sible.
Hence going into business. even
one so simple as selling lace goods.

Health not only allows you to

Dorothy Dix
Writes on
Wearing Mourning
Writes on

a LITTLE eignteen-year-old
N working girl writes me
pathetic letter in regard to
the etiquette of mourning attire.
She says that her father died a
month ago. and she scraped to-
gether every penny she could spare
and bought a black frock for the
funeral Now the weather is be-
ginning to grow cool, and she
wants to know if she can wear her
good last winters suit and jacket
and hat if she will sew a band OF
black around the arm of the coat.
She says her friends tell her it
would be highly improper, and that
she must have an entire outfit Of
black clothes.
The Fathers Wish.
The poor little girl is greatly
troubled because she doesn't want
to do anything that would seem to
be wanting in respect TO her ia
theirs memory, nor does she want
to lay herself open to the criticism
of her friends. and yet she doesn't
see where she's got the money to
buy all this regalia Of woe.
If this little girl will take my ad-
vice, she won't put on one stitch of
mourning, but go right along wear
ing her every day clothes. Mourn
ing is In the heart. not in the black
garments that we hang upon our
backs, and if the dear dead can look
back upon us and take account of
what we do, be sure that it can add
no joy to their heaven to see ~
swathed in crepe that makes us
sick, or burdened with debt for new
black clothes that we can not af-
ford.
This girl had loving, unselfsh
father, who tried his best to take
care of her. Does she not know
that he would far rather that she
put the money that a mourning
outfit cost in good food to nourish
her, and keep her well and strong,
than for her to go half starved in
order to pay for garments publicly
to proclaim her loss?
And inasmuch as It can do the
dead no good for us to clothe our
selves in sombre garments, and as
it intensif1es the sorrows of the liv-
ing, why should we be bound by the
opinion of fools in such matters?
Why should we even listen to their
chatter. or be affected by it?
Fanatics of Grief.
The heart that mourns has no
need of a black uniform to adver-
tise its bereavement, and when the
livery of grief is worn by those who
rejoice, rather than sorrow. 1t be-
comes a sacrilege, mockery of
death itself. Yet, we see women
dressed in the deepest black whose
actions belle their clothes, whose
faces belong to the comic opera
chorus rather than the funeral pro-
cession. and who justify the theory
that the grief is the safest that
breaks out the most profusely in
pillows of crepe, and that many a
widow wears a weeping veil to hide
her joy at being free again.
1t is one of the tragedies of death
that we meet 1t neither with the
faith of Christians nor the common
sense of philosophy. Whether we
believe that the beloved ones that
have passed on have gone to Ely
stun or into Nirvana, we know
that they are, at least, at peace and

were in this hard and cruel world.
Theirs is the gain, ours the loss, but
instead of trying to mitigate our
natural sorrow we seem to think
that there is merit in making it as
hard as possible. We are like the
Eastern fanatics that keep their
wounds green by turning the knife
in them.
We need cheer and whatever
brightness possible brought into our
lives then more than at any other
time, and yet we pull down the
blinds of our windows and shut out
the sunshine; we silence music. and
we garb ourselves in black that
makes every casual glance at our
dress stab us anew with our sor-
row.
All physicians bear testimony 10
the unhealthfulness of wearing
mourning. Every nerologist will
tell you that for a delicate and

great grief, to smother herself in
crepe is to endanger not only her
life but her reason, and that many
a woman owes her being a mental
and physical wreck to her mourn
ing. Yet so great is the power OF
fashion and convention that only
women of the greatest independ-
ence of character dare to defy the
edict that dyes them in black for

a death in their families.

To pay for these black clothes
means that every legitimate eX-
pense must be cut down. There
must be less food, less fire, less
light; old people must be denied
comforts, little children deprived OF
the things they need. A hard
worked man or woman must work
still harder. Young boys and girls
must be taken from school and sent
