EjItOM time immemorial It has oeen me custom 01 most civil- Ized races to,show their respect for tho memory or dead friends by dressing In tombcr black. In recent years many thoughtful men and womon have raised tho question whether this custom solves any use ful purpose. Mrs. Fnllh W. Morgan, n Virginia womnu, is one of these, nnd In a little pamphlet she has written she states her reasons for be llevlug the wearing of mourning not only useless but a positively harmful custom. "To get rid' of meaningless elab orations which encumber our ener gles must bo to remove debris from tho path of progress," t,ays Mrs. Mor gnn. "Taking it from nny standpoint, I enn find no adequate reason for drcssllie out Olio iini-llpiilnr I'liul nr sorrow. Wo only do It because people umujb nap none u. it is a custom hnnded down to us from enrlv sav agery. For n Christian peonlo It Is ludefenslblo to make death a tragedy to tho deceased one. Wo aro taught that death Is a glorious chaugc. "That ouly leaves our own sorrow to consider: nnd why should we nr- l'OCIitn tn tills imrHoitlni- in.nf ,., elal garb? It Is terrlblo, nnd differ ent from any other grief, but the. per son who considers It tho worst has beon peculiarly fortunnte.

"The only causes I can see for wearlne mourtilnir r tmiiit mm-Ai.. tlon and tho fvar of criticism. Wo aro too lazy to tliiuk things out, and Ms very bard to step nsldo from tho beaten path. Another cause con tributes; that In tho first ecstasy of grler many peoplo hnvo a strong de sire to make public demonstration of their sorrow. Also, wo nil hate to wouud the feelings of our often un- rcnbonablo dear ones who do not seo things from our point of view, nnd who make it pretty linrd for us If wo don't see things from theirs; and at tho tlmo of Intense grief wo nro pecu liarly helpless nnd unable to assort ourselves. "It Is n hnrd fashion for tho poor who follow blindly; their Ilttlo monoy, so badly neoded after tho doctor bills nro pnld, must go for oxpenslvo fun erals nnd black clothing, for thoy m nglno It is dlBrespectrtil K they fall to conform with custom.

"How can people bear to parade their grief, when wo bollevo that our trials should not bo obtruded upon otlieiH? It is selfish to impoBo our sorrows, and bad taste to retail our woes; is It not a form of telling them, to dress them up for nil tho world to see, and Is It over right to cast dark er shadows upon llfo?" .
