HUMBLE BEGINNINGS

Splurge for Viom’'s Day

AS CERTAIN’ as April showers bring May flowers,’

Mother’s Day stimulates a psychological reaction, an emo-
tional explosion, that only our collective love for our moms

could evoke.

From a humble beginning. in
1908, when Miss Anna Reeves
Jarvis introduced the idea of the
modern Mother’s Day to be mark-
ed by a-letter, a personal visit, a
floral token (wild flowers grew like

‘weeds in’ West Virginia in early

May), Mother’s Day now brings a
wave of giving.

This giving: is symbolic of a
deep-seated . regard for _ mothers
and all. that they have done for
their. families, for “their. com-
munities, for their country.

The hand-penned. letter has
become a mighty torrent of greet-
ing cards. elegant, . simple,

Would you dare to challenge
your mother with a new home
computer/word processor? Would
she like a private walk-and-listen
radio or stereo player?

Would a portable, electronic
typewriter that runs on batteries
excite her? Have you the courage
to confront her with a video game,
a parlor game, even a. new
automatic camera that actually
talks and tells how to get the
“‘tight’’ shot of the grandchildren?

Why this year you can even give
her a little portable T.V.-set, with
a screen that measures just two in-
ches and can be carried about as.
easily as a newborn baby.

CASUAL WEAR

For the sporting mother, you

can find something that will. keep.

her appreciation for the best in

to wear: when she’s cavorting and.
