ED.TEO BY Hilda Johnson mmmMmmmmmii&\
TOMORROW, the second Sun
day after Easter, is the day
set aside as sacred to the
memory of our mothers. The
debt we owe and our feeling
of love and reverence are typified by
the wearing of the white carnation,
symbolizing as it does the fragrance,
purity and strength of that mother
nature which gives all and asks but
little in return. * ,
The custom of wearing a white car
nation as a tribute to all that the word
stands for was originated by Miss
Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia, in 1908.
The idea spread from state to state
and, aided and encouraged by gov
ernors and presidents, it Anally be
came a national custom. The custom
is being adopted by other Christian
countries throughout the world so rap
idly that now it is beginning to as
sume the proportions of an interna
tional custom.

draperies, the many lights, each glow
ing through its own particular color
of tendril-like swathing, the beautiful
gowns of the ladies, the inspiring
music, along with the very clever pro
