His advent seems thing apart,
Yet Love each day is bringing
Glad news. Each mother, in her heart.
"Magnificat" is singing.
Your little son upon your breast
Is Gods dear child as truly
AS Jesus was. when angels blessed
The baby Savior newly.
The well-known human heart Is

too numerous to mention. Now, here's

Their old-fashioned sweetness,
Their simple perfect beauty,
Somehow reminded me of Mother.
I buried my face in their exquisite fra

And tenderly caressed their soft petals
With my cheeks and my lips.
And then the pent up longing of my
heart
Believed the lilacs with tear-pearls
Which glistened In the morning sun.

Now, suppose the lilacs that "P. D.
Cog" remembered so fondly bordered
the path to a certain kitchen door,
If so, it's a fair guess that the next
moment he was smiling through his
tears as he remembered himself, a
husky, low-browed youngster,. crying
out: ooh, goody! Nav, kin have a

One Of. the things that Is worrying
the sociologist these days is the dis
appearance In the cities Of the old

In such a scheme Of existence a near
by delicatessen shop is, Of course, an
advantage. But, incidentally and con-
f1dentially, one wishes much for a vo-
cabulary that could do justice to the
emotions aroused by delicatessen
shop in the man who has memories
Of an old-fashioned kitchen and of

the United States of
America. The Congress also says:
ely your Flagw Then put a car
nation in your lapel and you have
started Mothers Day right.
IL your mother is where you can
lay hands on her, tell her you love
her-and prove 1t.
If she isn't, telephone her; telegraph
her. write her-if you don't go and
visit her.
And If your mother has gone where
you may some day join her-if you de-
serve lido something that you know
would please her-something worthy
Of her and Of the day.
Mothers Day originated with Miss
Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia and it
was celebrated by several cities In
1910. An act Of Congress in 1914 au-
thorized the President to designate
by annual proclamation the second
Sunday of May as Mothers Day, and
to request the display Of the American
Flag on government buildings and pri-
vate homes.
Mothers Day Is set apart for spe-
cial observance in honor of the home
and motherhood. It's purpose is to re-
call the memories of mothers who
have gone; to brighten the lives Of
those who remain; to stimulate men,
women and children TO honor home
and parents. 1t is to be observed by
acts of kindness to mother and IA
Their; by service in churches of all
creeds, and by wearing a white carna-
hon-emblem Of the purity, beauty,
fidelity and strength of mother love.
There is a Mothers Day Interna-
tional association, with headquarters
In Philadelphia, which aims to make
men and women realize their indi-
vidual responsibility to right the
wrongs of motherhood and childhood +;
In the name of mother to inspire men
to carry forward work for the home
which will promote the brotherhood of
man, and to perpetuate and strengthen
family ties by the establishment and
observance of the day in all coun-
tries.
