Irom the reunion OF the Titanic 4.
Vivors with their loved ones No-
han one bridegroom has proved N
prowess by smashing a newsDa0.,
camera. In the bright lexicon q,
day there is no such word as ressr
That some Of the great sentiments
life may be held in reverent sBs.s.
Is contrary to the present mode
may become the fashion for men 4
advertise in the personal" column
Of the newspapers that they resBy
love their wives. Nothing nowadau
goes without saying" So we hsw
Mothers days, and everybody VIA
loves mother must wear a white cn
nation in his buttonhole, to the shan,
of the rest Of US who do not.
II we are to have a celebration and
q society for every virtue, we shan
have no time for the exercise Of these
virtues, but must give ourselves to
the important business Of keeping thh
admirable machinery going. 0bH
ously, and indisputably, If we have
Mothers day we must also have a IA
thers' day, for dad pays the freight
and makes possible the buying Of aov
ers that adorn the holiday, Also he
fulflls various other useful functions
although it is not greatly the vogue to
talk about father. He is merely back
ground.
OF course, and beyond question, L
we give mother and father their due
we cannot go back on grandmother
bless her heart! Perhaps If we hire
enough bands and adopt the right
floral emblem-the Wayfarer nOmt
mates the chrysanthemum, as sym
bolizing at once the autumn Of life
and the unostentatious character Of
these special days-a Grandmother
day will help restore to us the race
Of dear old women who we knew
when we we're young, and who are
ever so much more desirable than
the numerous massaged, pompadOur
ed, tailor-made, sophisticated, never
grow-old ladies who awe us now at
swagger restaurants and social func
tions.
And shall we not have Big Sisters
day? Her day seems long In coming
and she tolls and sacrifices for the
whole household. Especially would
the Wayfarer insist upon honorins
her, a little later on in her career BY
an Old Maids day. This is really es
sential to any equitable adjustment o.
the scheme of things. Some day a.
orator or essayist will win immora
fame by setting forth in terms In'
Office and works Of the Maiden Aunt
the prop of dependent or selnsn par
ents, and the slave and guide AM
friend of the children Of those pal
ents. There is high seat In heaVel
for the unhonored and uncommon
Grated Old Maid Aunt. In passing e
1t be emphasized that there is to .
no honor shown the Old Bachelor; .
is deserving of no consideration VIVA
soever. He is the saddest woro
tongue or pen.
Resisting the temptation to ex''
the glories of a Faithful Lovers "a
and a Husbands day, and more pa
ticularly of a Wives day tfor to mers
these into Mothers day and Fatner
day Is to assume, modern fashion, en'
the standpoint Of the children
the supreme concern of matrlmony
the Wayfarer moves on to lhulca
the high Importance of founding :, !,
tain societies to commemorate Y
cardinal virtues; since nowadays y
tue seems not to be virtue unless
wears a badge, possesses olplUu p
and employs a press agent. Tne wa
farer is we'll aware that ne IS no.
pioneer In this project 1t was w
few days ago that the pastor =

charge and devote himself TO eSs

Of Democracy. The dearth OF assoS

GUS probably had appealed 70 nls Z I
