Heart or Lapel?
lk /if/VIERS' DAY was observed
M last Sunday. Nlany a flower was
worn in young men's coat lapels and
on young women's waists and coats.
A tribute is a tribute but we do not
think so much of Mother's Day if it
only lasts 24 hours. The flower that
blossoms in the name of "mother .'
finds its proper place in the hearts of
men and women, not in coat lapels.

Tomorrow's dawn will grandly bitter be,
Tomorrow's light will burn a perfect fire,
And wrong shall meet its high calamity
And kingly folly sense the heaven's ire.
Tomorrow's dawn with wondrous light shall ris
0 soul, be worthy of omorrow'
