..THE OLD FOLKS AT HOME"
When They Commence to go Down
the Hill of Life.

IF you are so fortunate as to nave
the ''old people" in the house, see to
it that they have the walmest and
sunniest corner, and goodly por-
ton of the best that tan be afforded
of comfort, convenience and beauty;
that aged blood may be kept warm
and cheerful; that failing limbs may
have restful repose. and that the dim
ewes that have watched over You and
yours through SO many toilseme
years may see around them the ever
present evidences of faithful and
graceful care.
Teere is noting in the world more
pathetic than the meek, timorous,
shrinking ways of certain old people
I'VE have all seen them-whO have
given up their old home into younger
hands, and subsidized into some out
0f-the-way corner of it, TO sit by
Preside and table hencetorth as il
they were mere pensioners-afraid
lofs.making trouble" afraid of being
"in the way" afraid Of accepting the
half that is their due, and going
down to their graves with a pitiful-
depreciating air, as If constantly
apologizing for staying so long.
There is no sccrn too deep and sharp
for the sons and daughters who will
accept this attitude on the part OF
those to whom they owe so much
Sometimes, to be sue, people grow
old with bad grace. They become
EN- FILTERED by misfortune, or Attic
ton; or are peevish and unreasonable
under the gOadings of i'll health. All
the more do they appeal to great
gentleness and faithfulness, Let it
be bore in mind that we, too, are
fastening on toward the sunset OF
life. and that tits possible that we
may ripen into very uncomfortable
old people, to demand much more of
patience and devotion than we as
children, yield Woman's World.
