are men and women who claim the privilege of American citizenship—May SO will be observed as the day on which we honor our *■ soldier dead. For Memorial Day has outgrown its original significance as a day of remembrance for the men who wore the . Blue and those who wore the J Gray in the greatest civil war in history, the War Between the States of 1861 to 1865. America’s

soldier dead He buried in many lands —in Cuba, in the Philippines, tn Mexico and In France. Belgium and England. In the environs of the City of Mexico there is a little cemetery In which a small granite shaft stands, bearing these words: “To the memory of the American soldiers who perished in this valley In )M7, whose bones, collected by the country's orders, are here buried—7so." Memorial Day ts a day of remembrance for those 750 Americans as much as it ts for any of the hundreds of thousands whose graves tn in every state of the Union will be covered with flowers on May 80 of this year. 1027. Since 1918 the world-wide significance of Memorial Day tor Americans has been more apparent because of the long rows of white creases tn England and France and Belgium. In a military cemetery at Romagne-sous-Mont-faueon tn the Meuse-Argohne region of Francs there are 14.045 of these crossea. In the OiseAisne cemetery there are 5,934; at St. Mlhlel. 4,141; In the Aime-Marne, 2J212; at the Somme, 1.816; at Sureansa. l£06; In Flanders Field In Belgium, 863, and at Brookwood. England, 437. 80 It is in remembrance of those 30,502 American soldiers, who are buried tn sight European cameterlea, and the 46,214. who have been brought home to rest beneath the soil of thetr native land, aa well as the countleaa hoat of the dead heroes of the Civil war, the Indian wars, the SpanishAmerican and every other eon fl let In which the United States has aver been engaged, that

Memorial Day will be celebrated this year. If there is any one Memorial Day ceremony which Is outstanding It undoubtedly will be that In the greet amphitheater tn Arlington cemetery Dear diVashlngton where President Coolidge will voice the nation's tribute to Its soldier dead. Around him will be grouped high government officials and ambassadors of foreign countries. But it will not be the presence of great men which will make the Memorial Day services there notable. It Is the place itself which ts the Incarnation of the spirit of Memorial Day—Arlington cemetery, where stands the memorial to the “Unknown Dead” of the Civil war and where was placed the greatest of all American shrines, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Qf all national celebrations, Americans have best preserved the original connotation of “holy day” for “holiday” tn the case of Memorial Day. Untouched by the commercialism and the materialism which has crept into the observance of other special days. It has a dignity and a spirituality all of Its own. Perhaps the fact that It was conceived tn love and perpetuated tn reverence has made It so. For it was the touch of a woman's hand, laying flowers upon the grave of an enemy—perhaps the very one who waa responsible for the death of some one near and dear to her —, whose example of loving kindness and forgiveness for past hatreds eventually brought about the observance of Memorial Day. In 1866 Miss Lizzie KutherZ ford of Columbua, Mita., suggested to the members of the Ladiea’ Aid society, who had been carefully attending the graves- of Confederate dead, that April 26 be set aside each year as a special day for decorating these graves. Her suggestion was at once adopted by the society and on April 26. 1866. the first Memorial day service was held In St- Luke's Methodist Church in Columbus with Col. James M. Ramsey as the orator of the day. On that day the graves of both Union and Confederate soldiers buried near Columbus were decorajed with flowers, in the meantime letters to women In other southern towns resulted In the adoption of April 26 for a general observance of a memorial day for the soldier dead. In the spring of 1867 a New York newspaper published a paragraph In which this brief statement was made. “The women of Columbus. Miss.. have shown themselves Impartial in their offerings made to the memory of the dead. They strewed flowers alike on the graves of Confederate and National soldiers." In 1887 the nation waa still bleeding from the wounds of the war, and anger, hatred and suspicion were still rife. But this action by the women in the South sent a thrill throughout the North and the following year. Gen. John A Ix>gan national commander . ofThe G. A R, designated May 30 for the purpose of strewing with flowers or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades. How General Logan came to inane the famous order to hit comrades of the O AR. which resulted in the observance of May 30 as Memorial Day. or “Decoration Day." as it waa first known and as it la still often referred to. was related a few years ago by his widow, for many years known as “The Grand Old Lady of Washington." The story, as told by Mrs. Logan, follows; Thq iate Col Charles I* Wliaoa. smtor et the

by lean, jaded horsea, driven by thinly clad, poorli fed men. who had survived the long siege of Richmond. We saw the colored men. women and children digging out the lead and Iron which had been ehot into the fortifications, almost the only support f these wretched people. Visiting cemeteries and church yards, we were deeply touched by the withered wreaths and tiny flags that marked the gravea of the Confederate dead. In the bleak March wind and light-falling anow, the deeotetlon seemed most oppressive. Returning together to the old Willard hotel, where we then lived, sitting in our ? parlor after dinner, we recounted to General Logan the incidents of the trip and how deeply touched we were by the devastation and ravishea of war. In the churchyard around an old hletortc Church at Petersburg, every foot of the ground seemed occupied by the gravea of the Confederate dead. Upon them lay wreaths, once beautiful floorers, now crumbling, which had been placed there by loving [hands. Little faded Confederate flags marked each grave, mute evidence of the devotion of the southern people to their loved and lost. General Logan waa much impressed by our description, saying, “The Greeks and Romans tn the day of their glory were wont to honor their hero dead by chaplets of laurel and flowers, aa well aa in bronse and stone." and that as commander in chief of the Grand Army of *the Republic and member of congreas from Illinois, which he then waa, ha would iseue [an order establishing Memorial Day, then called ••Decoration Day." He declared at the game time that he believed that he could secure tfaie adoption ; of a joint resolution making it a national holiday rand a national ceremony. He then took up a pencil [and paper and wrote the matchless order No. 11, As a result of this order formal exercises were held at. Arlington. Va. (later the site of the present- Arlington National cemetery) on May 90. 11868, the principal ceremony being the decoration with flags and flowers of the monument to the “Unknown Dead,” a memorial that had been erected to the memory of 2.111 unidentified dead found on the fields of Bull Run and the route to Rappahannock. The day was also observed in 1 other parts of the country by strewing flowers on the soldiers' graves, in accordance with General Logan’s order, but the term Memorial Day or Decoration Day had not yet been adopted. The idea spread rapidly, however, and at the ceremonies held by the G. A. R. in Monument cemetefy Ln Philadelphia eu May 29. 1875. it was j recorded that "the annual floral decoration of the graves of our dead soldiers has become a national custom.” For it was doing much to heal the wounds of the war and. uniting to honor their dead, the North and the South were forgetting the J bitterness of a few short years before. One of ;■ the most significant bits of evidence of this occurred in Brooklyn when on the eve of May 30. 1877. a great throng assembled in the Academy of Music to hear the chief orator of the day— Judge Roger A. Pryor, formerly brigadier general in the Confederate army. From that time on Memorial Day eeiebratlom were increasingly a symbol of a nation reunited. Especially was thte true of those which followed the Spanish-American war, in which sons of men who had wore the Blue fought and died beside sons of mtti who had worn the Gray. And It was even more true of Membrial Day celebrations i since 1919. The World war has left America this heritage—a Memorial Day of broader and deeper meaning than it has ever had before. It knows no North, no South, no East, bo West It honors the fighting men of no particular war. but of all wars. It la a trumpet call to all Americans to pay reverent tribute to the memory of their honored dead—the AMERICAN soldier.

VELVET APPLIQUE IN BOLD DEjiuN; MILLINERY TAKES TO WIDE BRIMS

WHILE velvet in Itself is not a novelty, the fact that it is playing an all-year-round engagement on the stage of fashion is decidedly novel and modern. It is significant that prominent creators catering to the fashionables and elite of society in Paris whose decisions are generally accepted as setting style are paying much attention to velvet. This is true not only In regard to velvet as a trimming, but velvet jackets and coats are quite the smart style item of the moment. Creating no end of excitement among those who aspire to the unusual are the new-vogue slender pas-tel-colored velvet coats.
