The Origin of Mothers' Day.
According to the national custom in
augurated by Congress in .1914 the sec
ond Sunday in May is observed as
"Mothers' Day." The white carnation
is the "official hmblem of tha dead though
any white flowers may be worn. The
object of the day is to visit, telephone,
' telegraph or write to mother if she is
living or do a kindness to some one in
her name if she is dead. William Dean
Howell says that man never sees all
that his mother has been to him until
it is too late to let - her know that he
j sees it. ;"
I The idea of a National Mothers' Day
was the result of a memorial planned
, by Miss Anna Jarvis, of Philadelphia,
I for her mother, who had been greatly
. beloved in her home community in Vir
ginia. In 1914 Congress designated the
I second Sunday in May as Mothers' Day
and authorized the President to display
