The Old Fathrf.
Br Dorothy Dix.
N ALli th world there I, perhaps.
no other figure so pathetic and so
forlorn as that of a helpless and
; dependent old man. Sad la the lot of
, tha poor old woman, Ma la sadder aiUl
forsa woman ran fit herself In aoma
' sort into another' homa batter than a
man can. Bh has at least her knitting
to keep ber fingers busy and bar mind
occupied. - Bhe can mind tha baby and
do- little household chorea so that she
. feels that aha earns tha food she eats
and tha roor that covers her.
Mut tha old man has nothing. . His
bands are empty, his work Is done, 'lie
- feels himself a cumberer of the ground.
and unless affection, ' appreciation and
frauiuos nnuga mm around n tastes
he blttemeas of death.'
' ' To be dependent and unwanted In" bis
' ' old age Is a cruel reward for all that ha
. ,' lias done and auf fared, for J here are few
truer heroes In the world than tha poor
man woo raises up respectably a large
family, his oeea is not .spectacular.
No blare of trumpet nor roll of drum

" sacrifices. He is Just ons or tpoee who
' serve their country and their God by
standing- at their post aad doing- their
fluty tnrougn, sicaness ana want.
. through good and through evil condi
tions, faithful to their trust to tha and.
Of . tha pleasures that richer men
know, tha holidays and merry-makings,
their coming and going, tha poor father
of a family knowa nothing. 11a glvea

OC his mannood mat lime noiiiu may

tha homa may ba kept aoft and warm,
and that tha boy and girl who are mora
than ease, or comfort or rest to him,
may have tha advantages' of education
that he never naa.
The children grow up with th ound
tnt his haavv aten coins' out to work
early in tha morning, and coming home
dragging and weary at night, it is
what they mark time by." It is like tha

' understand what tbla ceaseless grind of
labor means.
Nobody knows, either, tha burden of
anxiety that such a, man bears through

EW YORK, ' April By thl
time every . woman is , attrac
tively clad In a . new ' spring
eostum and a each sallies forth
tha one noticeable feature la the "rig
lnal out of every gown. Tha styles
may ot seem so extreme to us because
they , are really continuations of the
last , fall and early winter models and
we have now become accustomed to
them. Oeneral lines are practically tha
same, such as the long clinging skirts
of the Faquln and empire dlrectolre
models and the abort semi-fitting coat
with the decided flare over the hips.
On costumes, blouses and ' coats ' the

about for hours snd then not begin to

to earn their living. In one of the large
sections of a big retail store in a west

best customers. This young woman's
father had met with heavy losses, and
she had gone Into the store to help lift
