“I often think,” said a clergyman who is frequently called upon to officiate 
at funerals, ‘‘that one funeral is apt to lay the foundation for another. In no de- \ 
tail of ordinary life are the people more careless of health than as they stand ■ 
around the grave. On one of the recent cold days a pretty feature of a young girl’s 
funeral was the presence of little girl pall-bearers. The children all wore white 
dresses, and the white coffin with the flowers added to the lack of horror about 
the ceremony. This was all very well while we remained in the furnace-heated 
house, but as the funeral cortege took its way to the cemetery the white-gowned 
little girls went also. In the bleak wind they stood, shivering, and, although some 
one threw wraps over theirshoulders, I noticed that each poor little girl’s teeth were 
chattering. When rain or ^now is falling the last rites become even more dangerous 
to health. I wish that St. Louis might adopt the method of inclosing the grave in a 
tent, or at least putting a canopy over it, as is commonly done in Eastern cemeteries - 
during inclement weather,'^ — Si. Louis Globe Democrat."
