WHEN THE UNDERTAKER CALLS By Pauline Eggleston Mandigo 66YVOUR undertaker isn’t very friendly, is he?” Aunt Susan Maria asked, gazing sadly out of the window of her nephew's apartment the other day. “The thing I miss most here in New York is the undertake “Undertaker’s visits, Aunt Susan Maria: why should the undertaker come to call? We are none of us dead or even thinking of dying?” Mrs. “Tom” Preston, the wife of the old lady’s favorite nephew, inquired. Aunt Susan Maria snorted. “I swan! I never seen such neglect! If my undertaker waited I was dead to call, I'd never have him for my undertaker. We ain't so standoflish up home. The undertaker is just as friendly with everyone as the doctor and the minister.” . “Our undertaker drops in real. sociable like every twice in a while and asks bow we're getting along. Ile’s just as interested in the health of the family as the doctor. 1 got my tombstone and casket all picked out, and have given him full instructions for my funeral. And I got all my: best Sunday-go-to-meetin’ clothes laid out, and he knows it, too.” Mrs. om” could only gasp and articulate. “‘That’s preparedness with a@ vengeance, isn’t it?” “My, how glad I always am to see the undertaker walking up the porch. I know T'll hear all about the new buryings and how the families took it, and who cricd at the funerals and all the interesting things.” “You'd be surprised if you knew all the things about funerals I do. You hain't had the advantage of knowing an under- taker well, evidently. One of the corpses that came to town to be buried from the west, got there ahead of the funeral pro- cession, ‘The corpse of old Lydia Graham came about 10 o'clock in the morning, but the mourners never came till after dark that night Our undertaker told me about it and he said: ‘I always heard old Lydia was up and coming, and sure enough she up and ame ahead of the mourners. We kept her in the baggage room till they arrived and then drove to the buryin’ ground. We had plenty of lanterns and didn’t have a mite of trouble planting her. It seemed a shame to bury her in the dark but the family had to leave that night so there was nothing else for it.’ “That was one time the undertaker had a corpse and no funeral, another time he had a funeral and no corpse. He had the funeral all arranged and the people all gathered for the last rites, but the corpse had been put oa the wrong train and never got there for two days after ‘twas expected. I tell you, undertakers has their troubles.” “He's a great jollier, our undertaker. to me the day I left home t . ‘Well, good-bye, Aunt Hope you have a You may dodge me 4 Isn’t he Susan Maria! time in the city. while longer, but I'll get you yet!’ the cute one?” a his et enif nit amat hate AW Take Twen' comicbooks.com
