In these pools. 1t is only the very
small fish that make them their prey

ing Of the festival Of the dead into lit.
tie more than a day for picnics of the
living. Memorial day, when first es.
tablished, meant much preparation.
The school children Of all the public
schools were urged to bring flowers
from their gardens. those from the
suburban schools thereby supplying
those Of the more congested districts.
The flowers were placed in baskets.
So many girls. attired in white and
wearing patriotic sashes, were de.
ploysd to each basket, while SO many
boys, in stir white shirts and in cheap
soldier caps, ordered for the day,
acted as escort. Through half the city
the children were marched, school by
school. in numerical order of the dis.
tricts, with bands playing funeral
music between.
Then came the city officers, the pla,
toons Of police. and finally, the old
veterans. in their tattered regi.
mentals. bearing the torn and thread.
bare battle flags. Out at the GENE.
terry the crowds were waiting. Dit.
ferent companies Of veterans were as.
signed to mounds in which the SOL
der dead lay sleeping. There was q
woman's relief corps for each, and in
turn there were the children. The
soldiers formed little circle. Some
congressman or senator from afar
came down, at the expense of the q.
A. R. posts of the locality, and made
q speech on patriotism and the
memory Of the soldier dead. Then
there was the mufaed drum beat,
more speeches, funeral music, an ode
by some poet Of the woman's relief
corps. Everyone Joined in on Amer.
lea, and after that the children
strewed with flowers the graves of
the soldier dead. That was indeed
the pretty. the effective part of the
ritual. It made one feel that Mem
orial day really had sincere purpose
and was worth being held a holiday.
