WOMEN OF SOUTH FIRST TO LAUREL GRAVES OF FOES Institution of Memorial Day Credited to Actios of Feminine Rslativaa of Confederate Soldier in Strew-ing Flowers Indiscriminately Over Their Own and Federal Dead. blended with tender ROMANCE lends a sacred the origin of that pe-culiarly American celebration termed Memorial day. In the spring of 1867, two years after the Civil war was ended, a New Tork newspaper published a paragraph briefly reciting that "the women of Columbus, Miss., have shown themselves Impartial In their offerings made to the memory of the deud. They strewed flowers alike on the graves of Confederate and of National soldiers." The announcement sent a thrill through the heart of the whole coun-try, Henry Hood writes to the New Tork Times, for It was the first appli-cation of that healing balm to a na-tion which for four years had been fiercely engaged In the most terrible fratricidal conflict known to human annals. Anger, hatred, suspicion still were rife In 18C7 when the little newspaper paragraph appeared telling of the ten-der action. General Logan's order, Instituting the ceremonies of Memorial day, con-cluded as follows: "It Is the purpose of the cotnmnnder In chief to Inaugurate this observance with the hope that It will be kept up from year to year while a survivor of the war remains to honor the mem-ory ot the deported." North In Hearty Response. The value of the Idea at once was appreciated, and legislatures of a large number of states designated May 30 as a legal holiday. So great was the re-sponse of the North to the unselfish action of the women of Columbus, Miss., that It struck fire In the heart of a young lawyer, Francis Miles Finch of Ithaca, N. T who wrote a poem en-titled "The Blue and the Gray;" which since then has become closely Identi-fied with the day. Not long afterward Henry Grady, Georgia statesman, writer and orator, In one of his, fa-mous addresses made the- - following reference : "In soliciting the participation of Confederate soldiers In the solemnities of this day, you mean to tender them an overture of reconciliation, to avow your good will toward your recent ad versaries, and to proclaim your desire for the prevalence of peace and fra-ternal feeling between the belligerent sections. "By no token more touching and Impressive could you make manifest those liberal and patriotic sentiments. To proffer your former foes a share In the simple, hut pathetic ceremonial by which, on this hallowed anniver-sary, you symbolise the perennial bloom and fragrance associated with the memory of your departed com-rades, and allow us to unite In the homage you render to the fallen he-roes of the Union, Is Indeed so affecting a testimonial of your kindness and magnanimity that we unreservedly yield ourselves to Its benign Influences and reciprocate, with all the warmth of our ardent southern natures, the Inarticulate but heartfelt aspiration for the reign of peace and good will over our agitated and afflicted land." New Wars and New Graves. Principally under the auspices of O. A, R. posts all over the country Memorial day became more and more widely celebrated, probably reaching Its peak more than three decades ago the ' year of the grand review of G. A. It. veterans In Washington. Then, little by little, as comrades be-gan to drop out by reason of advanc-ing age, the annual ceremonies attrac-ted less general attention. The men who fought the Civil war were pnss-tn- Young men who knew of It only by hearsay were coming forward In the full tide of activity. - Modern con-ditions of life swept to the fore, with all their weight of business. Industrial and soclnl strain. Added to this. Im-mense throngs of Immigrants from other lands swarmed hither, most of whom had but the slightest Interest In the struggle between North and South which ended so long before; who could not understand the sacred-ces- s of this American national ob-servance which was as foreign to them as the national holidays of Lithu-ania or Croatia, for example, would be to Americans. Day Restored to Honor. The Spanish war and its attendant loss of life caused & renewal In the numbers of those who observed Memo, rial day. And when May 80. 1018. rolled around, with the first harvest of American lives gathered by the Grim Reaper because of the World war, the observance again swung to Its full height as a ceremonial of honor, 'personal sorrow and national gratitude. In many of the older parts of the country are decorated not only the graves of those who fell In the Civil war, the Spanish war and the World war, but owing to the influence of patriotic societies, graves are decorat-ed, and reverent mention Is made of those who died in other conflicts the Revolutionary war, when about 810,000 Americans were engaged; the War of 1812, with 676,222 Americans on land and sea; the Mexican war and the Indian campaigns. It Is possible that also one decorated the graves of some who were engaged In the naval war with France, when 4,593 Ameri-cans manned warships In hostilities lasting from July 9, 1708, until Sep-tember 80, 1800. Little has been written or published regarding the origin and development of the American Memorial day. Search In libraries brings to light almost nothing save newspaper reports of lo-cal celebrations here or there and speeches usually privately printed In pamphlet form. In 1011, however, a New York publisher brought out a vol-ume edited by Robert Haven SchanfT-le- r, who wrote an Introductory chap-ter In which he quoted from Walsh's "Curiosities of Popular Customs" and "Popular Antiquities," as well as from Cough's "Sepulchral Monuments." Flowers and Antiquity. From these and one or two other works In their special field of history It appears that the custom of strewing flowers on the graves of departed friends and national heroes Is very ancient Indeed. More than fourteen hundred years ago the Benedectlne monasteries nsed to hold memorial services ot Whitsuntide for their de-parted brethren. The Greeks used to place on tombs a species of hyacinth with parsley and myrtle. The Romans added fillets of wood. But the primi-tive Christians deemed such practices almost Impertinent In brief, says SchaufTIer, days par-ticularly set apart for ceremonies In honor of the dead are common to man-kind and are well-nig- h as old as his-tory Itself. Frequently these ancient ceremonies Included offerings In addi-tion to the flowers which have been almost universally strewn on graves. Savage or senil-savng- e peoples, like some of the North American Indian tribes, killed ponies or dogs, which were placed with hunting Implements on the grave of a departed chieftain; and as every one knows, tombs of the plioraolis were depositories of val-uable offerings. As civilization advanced, here and there, toward the more poetic and the more spiritual, materinl gifts fur the departed were changed Into beautiful symbols, such as fragrant blossoms these being of a nature different from monuments or other structures of stone or metal which served primarily as marking' places and for brief In scrlptlons.
