The popularity or Mother's Day Is
remarkable. With no organization,

Miss Anna Jarvls of Philadelphia, who
inserted a. simple little notice In a
church paper asking that all sona and
daughters who wished to honor moth
erhood should wear a white carnation
on the second Sunday of May of eacn
year. The response was a tremendous
one. The Saturday night before the
first observance, not a white carna
tion could be purchased In the whola
cty of Phlaldelphia.

by the National Congress of Mothers
and It has steadily gained In popu
larity. Whit Carnation Badge.
