Family Anniversaries

Thanksgiving and Christmas, wedding days and birthdays, are occasions that should never be neglected in the life of the family, " writes Margaret F.. Sangster, in Woman's Home Companion for June. Even though the married children go far from the early home, living in widely separated neigh hoods, they should make an effort to get together at stated intervals, and so long as their parents live, the old home, with its dear mem ories, should draw them like a magnet to it's hearth. Little cousins ought to know one an other and be acquainted as broth CTS and sisters are. When long trips across the continent involve too great an expense for frequent visits, there IS always the letter box on the street corner or the rural free delivery, and the post may be trusted to carry love mes sages safely from Maine to Cali fornia, or around the circuit of the globe. How the mother at home watches for tidings from her mar ried children, and how she grieves when for weeks and months she never receives a word and feels that she has dropped out of the daily lives of those for whom she toiled and saved years ago.
 Do you owe your mother a letter or visit or gift, you who are far away from her now? Do not let the sun go down until you pay that debt of love.
 Do not forget that although we may have many friends, we can have but one mother, and that no friend can be quite so intimate as she"
