over at once. Tnere has been so
much to do—and now there is nothing!
This i. What Justifies Funerals.
Funerals are to give people something
to do for a day or two.
Because of funerals there are arrange-
ments to make, there are no!ices to
write, relatives to notify. Flowers come
and one must look at them and know
whom they are from.
' The one who is^bereaved may resent
all this. He wishes to relax into an apa-
thy of grief and feels that these formal-
ities are the last straw. In reality
“something to do whether he wants to
or not” is saving him trom himself.
How We Hate It and How It Saves Us!
• After the funeral there are notes to
write, letters of condolence, to answer,
and thanks for flowers.
Another intrusion—how one resents
it! And how it saves one, carries one
along a bit further toward the period
when time will have healed H e wound
just that bare trifle which makes the

When one is young, one scornfully

of the afternoon, five tables being laid

high score and was awarded the favor
