for you, but my car was waiting
and I have never learned to ramble
in an auto. 1t gives me a sense of
haste and ] have felt that | cannot
write a satisfactory ramble save by
trudging a. road, carrying my pack
and welcoming any dreams that
come. 4 few days later l took
street car and walked to the cemetery
to get a few notes for this story. A
graveyard where the graves show
care and where flowers grow does
not Cypress me. The graves preach
me a simpler sermon thu ! get from
a roaring cleric, and, besides, the min
lister may show ill taste in words and
discover that he has slight knowledge
of what his words meant in the
tongues from which they came to
English. The graves urge me not
to take myself too seriously and not
to accept another man as less com
mon clay because he has a better
coat or office They urge me to
smile at folk who squirm and wiggle
to call notice to themselves, who
weave plots to be made president of
this and chairman of that, and whose
hands itch to lay hold on money, not
that they may live comfortably but
that they may live uncomfortabIy in
