Mothers’ Day, comparatively new,
seems the day of all days for which
the world has been wating.
The occasion was appropriately ob-
served in Coleman Sunday, beautiful
white flowers were distributed by lov-
ing hands to recall memories of the
mothers that are gone and through
thoughtful words and tender care to
brighten the lives of the mothers that
remain. The white carnation is Moth-
ers’ Day flower. Its whiteness stands-
for purity; its form, beauty; its frag- ^
titce, love; its wide field of growth, •
