A SUGGESTION.
[TO THB EDITOR OR THE " SPECTATOR:1
Sra,—In these days when so many homes are sorrowing for those who will never come back, I write to make a small suggestion which I have found much appreciated in some country cottages. When one of the family shows me the message conveying sympathy from the King and Queen, I offer to have it framed, and to write any details of the lost one's age, regiment, rank, when and where killed, &e., neatly above and below the printed words. The framing can be done nicely for about Is. 6d. to 2s., and instead of being lost or getting dirty, can be hung on the cottage wall—a precious little record of the father, husband, son, or brother who "did his bit," and of his Sovereign's gratitude. In the belief that little things that give pleasure and a ray of comfort are worth doing, I venture to suggest this to others.—I am, Sir, &c., '
A COUNTRY PARSON.
