WINoNA Will cox WRITES.

The wearing OF mourning is in no
way a measure Of grief for the dead.
IT, does not even satisfy any natural
human instinct for somberness in flu
neral garb. Purple, red and white
have been mourning colors in certaip-
lands and centuries. -,
Obviously, the government will
never regulate the@mode and name
of expressing, personal sentiment.
But could the women of the coun-
try make. a finer free; will offering to
democracy than by Sacrificing. their
mourningi GARMENTS. as superfuous
and inadequate fsYmhols Of grief?
The hero who falls in France has
made his life~aagife-to- hts country ind

Let us try to think what dying in
the full strength and beauty Of their
Emanhood meant ito them. Let w try
to appreciate THEIR GIFT TO US.
Then, feeling this. mothers and
wives Of America, We must strip Off

the : only honor we can pay q dear
