ITo no Mame OF THE " SPECTITOR "J SIR, — The touching

appeals of Lady Florence Cecil and Lady Kennedy and your sympathetic article in the Spectator of February 1st will surely call forth a response from many wh.: are personally satisfied by the proposals of the Was Graves Commission, but who cannot bear to think that a fresh stab should be given to hearts already so cruelly wounded. Surely uniformity is as unnecessary as it is inartistic. Could not the Commission allow the choice of two or even more approve., stones, and inform the public that a certain pattern would be used in all cases where an alternative was not asked for before a certain dateP Many will be quite satisfied with the Com- mission's choice, but surely those who feel as deeply an I strongly as your correspondents have a right to some choice.
