Miss Annie Jarvis, of Philadel phia, founder of "Mothers' Day," in the United States, is planning for a world-wide observance ot the day, which is the second Sun day in May. How beautiful would be the custom to wear on that day a snow Hower for mother's sake. It may be that your moth er has passed to the shining courts above, but no matter whether she is up there, or sti'l toiling on Life's Highway, don't fail to w ear on the second Sun day in next month a flower for her sweet sake. If she is gone from earth, you will probably feel closer to her by wearing this token; if she is still w ith you. it will make herbeartglad to know she is remembered.
