"MOTHER'S DAY"
Beautiful, bright, ideal day. Arose 9:45. Toilet. To Church & S.S. Dinner. Fred Lincks in town. Walked out with Ed Gemlich. Called on Benedicts at Rexford. To E.L. Home with R.E.P. Lunch etc. To bed 12:30 P.M.

I guess there were no festivities for mothers on their day back then.
The meaning of the word lunch in Stanford's youth was less specific than it is now, apparently, as Stanford in his diaries speaks of having lunch at all different times of the day. The above entry, for example, has Stanford eating lunch after his date with Ruth. Below is a short discussion of that change from Wikipedia:

Lunch, the abbreviation for luncheon, is a light meal typically eaten at midday.[1] The origin of the words lunch and luncheon relate to a small snack originally eaten at any time of the day or night. During the 20th century the meaning gradually narrowed to a small or mid-sized meal eaten at midday. Lunch is commonly the second meal of the day after breakfast. The meal varies in size depending on the culture, and significant variations exist in different areas of the world.
