On May g. just four years ago. the mother of Miss Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia. died So moved was Miss Jarvis by loss that decided each year. the anniversary of her mothers death. to observe the day in her memory.
 Miss Jarvis is a modest. iAiddle-aged woman, who removed to Philadelphia from West virginia-N The idea of thus observing her mothers death brought her to wondering whether others might not wish to honor their mothers day reserved each year. Tn conjunction with Memorial Day, which in May 1t occurred to her that while the old soldiers who fought in the Civil War honored. why should not the mothers of the land be honored?
 Three ago. in quiet way, Miss Jarvis for the first time observed the day. Flowers placed upon her mothers grave and twined about her pie ture in the Jarvis home. But year later. with Miss Jarvis there united in the celebration thousands of people in all parts of the country.
 By writing to editors, clergymen, men in public once. the heads of fraternites in all parts of the and thus Mothers Day annpunced to the world The proposition met with immediate response. and in more than dozen cities the day set apart last year for special services
 Miss Jarvis instituted Mothers Day with the ob- ject of "honoring the best mother that lived your own"
 On this day she urges that all persons shall by tribute show their love for their mothers-if living. by letter; if absent from home. by visit, she suggests that kind deed to another mother be done that the white carnations or white flowers be sent to the i'll, to the afflicted, to prisoners On this day it Is also suggested that every one white carnation.

 The second Sunday in May has been chosen for the honorng of mothers. Miss Jarvis hopes that the day will become of national import-nay that it's observance will become world-wide; that one nation the people of all countries. of every race. creed color, will join in honor to the mother.
 In appeal sent out this year Miss Jarvis said of the day: x
