Mother's Day Greetings To One Not Old, Nor Gray, But Hep
University Daily Kansan
By NANCY NEVILLE
Assistant Society Editor
Mem.
Dear Mom:
Sunday is your day—the day in which I have just 24 hours to do all of those little things that I never seem to do during the rest of the 364 days—the things which I always meant to do for you yet never did.

feeble step and wrinkled, lined face—these are not for you. As for a feeble step, think back to those days when we go shopping for my clothes. You always have the energy to burn.

One reads of lined face, care worn with work. You have lines, its true—the ones you've been keeping Dad happy with for the last 25 years and those lovable laugh lines around your smile.
The poems would add a rocking chair, lace bonnet, and knitting needles. But again they are wrong. You, Mother, are a far cry from
the little old lady stuff, thank heavens!
Sacrifice, work, sympathy and love, you're full of these and more. You've got something they call "real gone." These literary works should be revised. They need to tell of those snacks you send to me and all the girls at the house, or the times you've hunted through millions of papers for a little item for my school work.
To some authors, you may re- resemble the Mother of Whistler, but to me you're just plain hep. Happy Mother's Day!
With Love.
Your daughter.
