Mrs. Pell's
Decoration Day
■By
EMILY S. WINDSOR.
rflY THE aid of the calendar hang
mi ing on her wall. Mrs, Pell found
that there were 14 weeks before Dee
oration day.
She was not an adept at mental arith
metic, so that it was quite a lengthy
and laborious piece l of work for her
io calculate that if .she saved 12 cents
each of those 14 weeks, she would
have one dollar and 68 cents.
She had just finished counting' it up
a second time in order to be sure that
It was correct, when her neighbor, Mrs.
Wilkes, from the next room below in
the big tenement house, came in for
their usual evening chat. She was a
thin, nervous looking little woman of
middle age. Neither her faded gray
hair nor her dress was tidy. She was
a strong contrast to Mrs. l'ell, who was
always neat and clean; she was much
•older than Mrs. Wilkes, too.
Most, of Mrs. Pell's days were spent
In office cleaning, while Mrs. Wilkes*
time was well filled with washing and
Ironing.
After they had exchanged their news
of the day, Mrs. Pell said: "Would you
ihink that a body could get a nice lot
■of flowers for a dollar and sixty-eight
■cents?"
"Sure and I'd think that a lot of
money to be spendin* in such a way,"
answered Mrs. Wilkes, with a look of
•aurprise on her weather-beatcp face.
"I'd like it to be more," returned
Wrs. Pell, "but not a cent more than
-12 cents a week can I spare."
"I'm sure I'm not knowin' what
your talkin' about," said Mrs. Wilkes,
the surprise in her face increasing.
"I'll be tellin'you. It's for the graves
on Decoration day. I've just set my
heart on coverin' 'em with flowers this
year. I've been wantin' to do it every
year, but somethin' always happened
to prevent. Put this year, they're goin'
to be there."
"Oh!" ejaculated Mrs. Wilkes.
"Yes," went on Mrs. Pell, "I'm feelin'
«ure there'll be nothin'to prevent this
year. And it's white roses 1 want.
Teddy was crazy after 'em."
She rocked her chair, and hid her face
in her blue gingham apron.
Mrs. Wilkes could not enter very
•deeply into her friend's feelings. She
Every time she passed a Florist, she would

had never had any children, and her
husband had been lost at sea so many
years before that he was now but a
dim memory; besides, he had never in
life given her any reason to mourn his
loss.
But she kept respectfully silent until
Mrs. Pell's burst of grief was over.
"Then she said: "White roses is nice.
You ought to be gettin' a lot for so
much money."
Mrs. Pell shook her head. "I don't
Jcnow. Flowers is dear."
Mrs. Pell carefully put aside 12 cents
each week from her meager earnings.
Every time that she passed a florist's
■window on her way to work, she would
•top and look at-the flowers displayed,
and try to decide which window con
tained the most beautiful white roses,
"l'or I must get the finest to be had,"
she would think.
The prospect of buying those flowers
often formed the subject of her chats
with Mrs. Wilkes.
To the latter SI.(SS seemed an enor
mous sum to spend in any such a way.
"Be sure that you get the worth of
your money," she would say.
"They've got to be line ones," Mrs.
Pell would ifnswer.
Spring had been long in coming that
year, and it was late in May before
the garden roses began to show their
colors. Mrs. Pell had few opportunities
of seeing any of these, the tenement
In which she lived being inn district
where there was not enough earth
room for a blade of grass to grow. Mrs.
Pell, like mnny of her neighbors, had
a f*\\ pots.of geraniums on her window
aills, but they were not luxuriant
In growth. The air, close and sunless,
was not conducive to floriculture. Mrs.
Pell had once tried to raise a white
*ose, but it had died an early death.
Then her walks to and from her work
were not in the resident port of *he
•city.
But on Sunday*, when she was not
too tired, she went tn rtiurcb. Her way
thither led past many beautiful pnr
dens. One of them elie particularly ud
ttlred. It was. n Inißfe, old fashioned
garden surrounding a beautiful old
house. There were roses and rosea.

They sir* just such rot.es as had
frown about lha little country home
4o which >U« had gone as a bride, says
the Chicago Advance. The sight of
them took her back to the days when
she had been so happy.
Then had come the dark time when
her husband returned from the war
with broken health. To mend their
fortunes they had come to the city.
But things had gotten worse. Her
husband had soon died. She and Teddy
had struggled alone. She had looked
forward to the day when Teddy would
be taking care of her, for he was o
good boy. But he had been laid beside
his father eight years ago. Bow he
had loved those roses! He had often
said that he would have a garden full
of them when he was anion. He would
be a man now if he were living.
The Sunday before Decoration Mrs.
Pell went to church and returned by
way of her favorite garden. She
stopped to look at the white roses.
There were such quantities of them.
The air was filled with their fragrance.
How she wished that she could have
enough of them to cover her graves!
Somehow, they seemed sweeter than
the flowers at the florists.
The day before Decoration day came.
Mrs. l'ell had gone much sooner than
usual to her work, and by hurrying a
great deal, had been able to return
home at four instead of six, her usual
hour.
It was her plan to put on her best
clothes and then goto the florist's and
select and order her flowers. She
would call for them early the next
morning, and take them to the ceme
tery. The day was to be a holiday.
She had just unlocked her door, and
entered her room, when Mrs. Wilkes
came in. Her eyes were swollen from
crying.
"Sure, and what's the matter?" cried
Mrs. Pell.
"It's Sally. She's sick, and goin' to
die. The woman that's been takin'
care of her wrote to tell me. And she
wants to see me once more."
"Well, sure and you'll be agoin'," said
Mrs. Pell.
Mrs. Wilkes burst into tears. "It's
that I'm feelin' so bad about. It costs
three dollars togo, and me with noth
in' but a dollar and a half to my name.
You see, I paid the rent two days ago.
And not one of the neighbors with a
cent to lend me."
"And it's too bad, it is," ejaculated
Mrs. Pell, feelingly.
"Yes, and there's a train at seven,"
said Mrs. Wilkes, with fresh tears.
| "Unless'—" she went on hesitatingly,
"you could lend me enough!"
"It's too bad, it is," exclaimed M»s.
Pell. "Sure and I paid my rent last
week, too." She looked distressed.
She was always anxious to help anyone
in trouble.
"I know—but—" Mrs. Wilkes hesi
tated more than before. "I—l—
thought perhaps you'd let me have that
money you saved for the flowers. Poor
Sallie! I'd like to see her once more.
She's my own sister, sure."
"Lend you that money! Oh! Mrs.
Wilkes, 1 can't! I've had my heart set
so long on coverin' the graves this Dec
oration da j - ."
"I thought likely you wouldn't want
to. Poor Sallie! And I'll never see
her again." Mrs. Wilkes turned away
with a hopeless air, and went slowly
back to her room.
Mrs. Pell hastily prepared togo to
the florist's to select and order her
flowers. She felt very sorry for Mrs.
Wilkes, but of course she could not
lend her that money. If she had saved
it for any other purpose but that! She
had tried for so many years to be able
to cover those graves with roses, and
now when she had the money—to give
it all up.
She hoped Mrs. Wilkes did not think
her mean. She would have been glad
to do anything else for her.
And it was a pity that she could not
see her sister before she died. She was
the only relative she had, too.
If it had only not been that
money! And if it were not Decoration
day! She wanted to put flowers on
their graves at the time that other peo
ple were remembering their dead.
Mrs. Pell's steps became slower and
slow er, and as she came in sight of the
florist's shop, she stood still, and re
mained in deep thought for some min
utes. Then she turned suddenly and
walked back to the tenement, and into
Mrs. Wilkes' room. She found the lat
ter sitting with her face in her hands
and crying.
Mrs. l'ell put her precious SI.GS in her
hand.
"There," she said, "just takeit. Hurry
and get ready, and I'll goto the train
with you. I do hope you'll find Sallie
alive."
"Oh!" cried Mrs. Wilkes, "sure and I

always knew you were a good woman.
FOOT Kallie! I'll be seein' her again."
Mrs. Pell did not sleep well that
night. It hurt her to think of those
two graves being flowerless another
Decoration day. They were in such a
remote part of the cemetery\thnt they
never shared in the general decoration
of graves. She decided that she would
not goto the cemetery at all. She
could not bear to think of seeing oth
ers carrying their flowers while her
hands must be empty.
Hut in the morning she changed her
mind. It seemed unkind to leave her
graves unvisited. She would go in the
afternoon when the services were over
and the cemetery would be compara
tively deserted. It was such a lovely
day. The ride iti the ears would do her
good.
Mr. Graham, his wife and Berta and
Tom drove out to the cemetery, their
She found these two a mast of exquisite
roses.
carriage filled with baskets of roses.
They had almost stripped the many
bushes in their garden.
After their grandfather's and grand
mother's and Aunt. Edith's graves had
been piled high with odorous blossoms
there was still a large basketful of
beautiful white roses left.
"Let us drive around and see if there
are any graves without any flowers,"
said Berta.
"Y r es," said Mrs. Graham, "I like
that thought."
But there did not seem to be any
graves undecorated until they reached
a more distant part of the cemetery.
There two sunken graves, with
weather-worn wood markers at the
head, were flowerless.
"How lonely they look!" said' Tom.
"YE," said Mrs. Graham, "I think
that you must empty this basket on
them."
"Let Tom and me do it," said Berta.
So she and her brother jumped out of
the carriage and went over to the two
graves. There were enough roses to
completely cover'them both.
"Now they don't look so lonely,"
said Berta, with a backward glance, as
she drove away.
And so it was that when late in the
afternoon Mrs. Pell came to the lonely
spot where lay her husbandi and son,
she found the two mounds a mass of
exquisite roses. And they looked like
the roses she had had in her little
country home in those long past days
—the white roses that- Teddy, had so
loved.
PSALM OF THE OLD SOLDIER.
The blue is fading into gray.
Just as when sunset comes
With bugle calls that die away
And softly throbbing drums;
The shadows reach across the sky
And hush the cares of day;
The bugle call and drum beat die—
Tlie blue fades into gray.
The gray is blending into blue—
A sunrise glad and fair,
When, in the richness of the dew,
The roses riot there,
The bitterness of yesterday
Is lost to me and you;
The blue Is fadtng into gray—
The gray blends into blue.
They're sleeping now the long, long sleep—
The boys who wore the blue;
Above the gray the grasses creep—
And both were good and true;
And in the twilight of our life—
The ending of the way—
There comes forgetfulness of strife —
Tne blue fades into gray.
Above each mound the lily glows
And humble daisies nod;
Tho ruby glory of the rosa
Sheds luster on the sod;
Tho tears—the tears—they are the dew
That greets the coming day.
The gray Is blendliu? into blue—
The blue fades Into gray.
— W. V. Nesbit, In the lialtimore American.
THE OLD SOLDIER»S DAY.
Ileoutiful Cnatuin of Olisvrring Me
morial l)u>—Tlie .Nation's
.\utlounl llelii.
In 1803 occurred' one of the most im
pressive and soul-stirring pagcantsi
which 'this country has ever seen. Om
the and and 24th of May, the armies of
the union passed in grand review be
fore the president and the secretary of
war, in Washington. On the first day
80,000 men of I lie Army of the I'otomac
marched through the streets of the na
tional capital, and on the following day
the G!),0(X) members of Sherman's army
carried their ta'ttered flags over the
same line of inarch.
In all there were 140,000 men in> that
blue tide which, for six hours on one
daj- and seven on the next, flowed past
the eapitol; and on the great banner
which s't retch I'd across the front of the
building the tired and war-worn vet
erans read a sentiment which must
have touched their hearts. It was
their country's acknowledgment of her
sense of obligation to them. The words
were these: "The only national debt'
we can never pay is the debt we owe
the victorious union soldiers."
Today, says the Youth's Companion,
a thousand little processions made up
of those same men will inarch behind
muffled drums and> with flowers in their
hands, to decorate the graves of the
comrades whose marching days are
done. Those who passed before the
president in the grand review of 1865
were mostly young men, some of them
mere boys. The little companies which
make their way from post headquar
ters to the cemetery to-day are made
up of old' men. Each year finds the
heads whit er, the line thinner, the steps
more feeble. Yet the loving memories
remain unchanged, the old comrades
unforgotten, the service in their honor
unneglected.
The dignity and faithfulness with
which the veterans of the civil war ob
serve this annual ceremony lias not
been lost upon the country. The pa
thetic spectacle of these feeble old
men marching every year under the
flag they once defended has touched us
all. It has helped us to realize that we
have indeed a "national debt we can
never pay," ami has confirmed the
beautiful custom of giving one day in
the year to our dead, be they.soldier or
civilian.
THE NATION DOES NOT FORGET.
Tlie Story of How (Si r Custom of D(e
oratlnt; Soldiers' Uruvea
Originated.
An association known as the Ladies'
Aid society, was organized in 1861 for
looking after soldiers who died in Co
lumbus hospitals. They were buried
under the direction of these ladies,
who thereafter took charge of these
gravesr-making it a practice togo in a
body to care for and beautify them with
plants and flowers. January, 1866, Miss
Lizzie Kutherford, a member of the so
ciety, made the suggestion that a spe
cifled day should be adopted upon which
a memorial service should be held for
the purpose of decorating the confed
erate graves annually. The proposi
tion met at once with the greatest fa
vor, and a letter was addressed to each
of the chapters in their cities and
towns suggesting similar action on
their part.
These letters were written in March,
1866, and from their publication result
ed the observance of April 26 as Memor
ial day for the confederate dead in sev
eral southern states.
The floral displays are always mag
nificent in the larger cities, and espe
cially is this true of Richmond'. In his
toric old Hollywood lies the gallant and
beloved Stuart. There, too, sleeps the
old cavalier Pickett, and many others
scarcely less distinguished. There, al
so, rests the president of the confed
erate states, and by his side ■ the
"Daughter of 4he Confederacy." And
on Memorial day flowers from the hills
of Vermont commingle over her grave
with those from the plains of Texas and
the land of the setting sun as a tribute
to her worth and in attestaion of a re
united country.— Woman's Home Com
panion.
