CLOUDED BRAIN

And on this In neat rows some of tho
more serious magazines. The litera-
ture of the temple of alimony would
be one Of the most important items.
1t should by all means. include a
Book OF Divorce Etiquette. Francis
Crowninshield could get one up splen-
didly. He did that Rules for Dinner
Conversation-a book that no one who
pretends to be anyone can afford to be
without.

ask smilingly: rs this my bread or

If ever a manual of this sort was
needed badly 1t Is In this matter of
divorce.
Because everything is at present so
crudely ordered in regard to the mat
ter no one knows what to do. If two
divorced people were to meet and
shake hands in friendly fashion, or
even appear decently civil to each 9TH
err, they would be talked about.
AS a general thing they are SO happy
over the separation that they have
only the most grateful feelings for
each other. The one matter that seems
to create dissension-and this also
should be arranged by some decisive,
just set of rules-is the division Of the
worldly goods-the wedding presents,
the plate.
Proper Division Requisite.
Who gets the canary? Which is to
have faithful Fido? 1t is all right for
Annabel to take the pearls that Alfred
has given her-the toilet ivory-but it
would seem as though she might leave
him the silver cigarette box which his

could be separated on probation. as
some of the judiciaries are now doing,
they would make up their rows. Any

SHOW PICTURE OF THE DEAD
Tombstones In New England Como
terry Are Furnished With Some
what Unique Decoration.

Many means have been used for
marking the resting place of the dead.
or in ornamentation of their graves.
from the ornate tombs of marble and
granite to the grotesque totem poles
of the American Indians. The French,
who are noted for their fine taste in
decoration and their discrimination In
art matters, disf1gure their marble
tombs with hideous wreaths Of Jet or
purple glass beads. But it has re-
manned for a little cemetery in New
England to set new fashion in q
means of commemorating the dead.
A hole is chiseled into the slab or
monument and into this Is fitted pic
ture OF the one whose grave Is be-
meath. The portrait is generally a
photograph or tintype. A cover which
can easily be lifted up is then placed
over the opening. Anyone passing
through the cemetery and wishing to
know how the person before whose
tombstone he has halted appeared In
life has only to raise the little cover
over the picture to satisfy his curl
osity.
This is by no means a new custom
In this town. 1t began many years
ago. On one of the monuments Is q
photograph placed there in 1865. which
is as clean as though it had been put
there a year ago.
Though this custom of having tomb
stones made to hold portraits origi-
mated in this particular place. it is
now being adopted in neighborins

There would be no mixups. Alimony
getters and alimony payers would
have different departments and en-
frances. A cheerful atmosphere would
be cultivated. There would be no
hard feelings or criticisms or gossip.
There might be afternoon tea.
And as in SO many cases the d.

chaplain who would retie the knot
quietly, cut the service and omit all
unnecessary swank and show.
The timid ex-wife going to draw her
first payment would be met at the
entrance doorway by an usher In
smart uniform who would take her up
in a plush-lined elevator to the proper
office and window If she didn't like
checks she could get antiSeptically
sprayed and germless money.
Naturally embarrassed and con-
fused, she would be offered tea and
cakes and then politely shown out OF

street. For, as some one once said.
it is nothing to be seen going any
