Tho distinc tion as to whether the mother is dead or living is made by tho way of wear ing tho flower. For the living mother the flower should be worn with the blossom pointing upward and for the dead mother it should bo worn with the bloom downward. The day will be universally observed in the churches here and- special ser vices will be held both in the Sunday schools nnd at the church services. The Mothers' Day idea originated in 190G with a young lady in Philadelphia whose mother died during tho first pnrt of May. She asked her friends to join with her nnd wear the white flower and tho idea was soon spread state wide and a few years later it was taken up by the senate and the Mouse or representa tives. The day fixed upon is the second Sunday in May and the Mothers' Day movement is now beincr spread all over the world. The white carnation, which is the national flower, was adopted as the mothers' flower and the way of wearing tho flower was later conceived. Gives Birthday Party.
