Sometimes in the hush of the evening hour, When the shadows creep from the West, I think of the twilight songs you sang, And the boy you lulled to rest; The wee little boy with the tousled head, That long, long ago was thine; I wonder if sometimes you long for that boy, Oh, little mother of mine. —Walter H, Brown On Mothers” a | May 13th Flowers will be to Mother the true token of love and devotion. Sh will appreciate a basket effect of Lovely Spring Flowers or a bloom- ing plant that she may watch grow and care for, as mothers only know how. The young mother should be remembered with a dainty basket of flowers, a corsage bouquet, or a gift box of cut flowers.
