THEFTS FROM GRAVES
(To the Editor.)
Sir, —For many years I have made it a practice of visiting the Karori Cemetery on a Sunday to add fresh flowers and keep tidy the grave of an infant, son. Great was my grief and consternation on visiting the grave last Sunday to find that some heartless thief had -stolen my watering can, a little pair of crossed marble hands, and a fancy glass flower vase. ' I am sure mine is not an isolated ease. Five other ladies informed me that they had at different times had both flowers and ornaments stolen from the graves of their loved ones. I do not think for one moment that this cruel theft is the work of a man, but it is either the act of women or children, who do not realise the pain they are causing. If the act has been committed by children, who have innocently taken them home, I sincerely trust that their parents will order the stolen articles to be replaced on the graves from which they, were taken.—l am, etc.,
VICTIM.
30th March,
