Although. ' the formal --- observance of Mother's Day was started less than 60, year$• sago, the feeling it intends to convey is as old, as motherhood itself. Anna * M.

The . world .has since followed suit and on the • second Sunday in May children young and old seek to .communicate filial love in its purest forma . Our debt to Miss Jarvis' is twofold. _Not only 'did, she set aside the, day for. -,_honoring.. mothers; she also set the -standard of expression that best reflects the sentiments that have to be expressed.
