J FUNERAL SERV ICE must liave the
quality of harmony that depends upon
experienced arrangement and skillful direc-
tion if it is to bring tranquility to the minds
of those suffering bereavement.
7 HE QUESTION OF COST should at
all times depend entirely upon the fami-
ly's wishes. Our privately-arranged prices
never exceed, and are often less, than the
amounts paid for price-publicized services.
Appropriating** is more a
reflection of qoo<t taste than
of the size oj the funeral bill.

Delphian—
For the Family
"Why," we are often asked, "are
i there no Delphian Chapters for
I Men? I am a better Delphian than
my wife is," declares many a Del-
phian husband. "I'm sure I read the
quarterly as much as she does, and
her assignments, too."
This is only another way of say-
ing that the Deiphian movement
does achieve its purpose of "human
izing knowledge." The fact that |
Delphians' children use the Quar- j
terly as a source-book for English
compositions, that Delphian hus-
band? like to read the material pre-
pared for study, and gain just as
much from it as do their wives,
shows that something "designed
for women" must, if it is well de- •
signed, add something to the pleas-
ure and the benefit of the whole
family.
The Atnalta chapter of the Del-)
phian Society will meet March 8 in
the Educational^x>m of the Arm-
ory.
