OLD WOMEN.

OLD WOMEN.
Sometimes / go down to the poor
est part of the city apd see the old
women, the very fioatsamN and jet
sam of life. that misfortune has
flung upon its dirty pavements.
OFTEN these women are staggering
along under great loads OF sweat
shop work, too feeble for their
strength to bear. or else their backs
are bowed under loads of wood
that they are carrying home with
which to make a fire to try to warm
their cold old blood.
Long years of toll and hardship
and privation have robbed these
women of almost every semblance
of femininity. Their shoulders are
stopped: their hands are knottcd
and gnarled; their wrinkled faces
are parched by sun and wind until
they look like leather, their eyes
are faded: their hair, thin and
grizzled, blows like witch locks
around their faces: they humble
with toothless gums and sunken
mouths; their clothes are ragged
and dirty. Sometimes they have
even tried to forget their misery
In drink and ribald songs and BIAS
phemous curses issue from their
lips, .....
1t is hard to realize that such an
old crone as one Of these was ever
a woman. that she was ever young
and pretty, and soft and dimpIed.
II is hard to realize that she ever
loved or was loved; that anybody
ever waited in the dusk to kiss
those faded lips, that any mans
hand ever caressed that frowsy hair:
that babe ever nestled on that
withered breast: that such a one
ever had part in the great lot of
womanhood.
Here is old age robbed OF its re-
ward. without the warm firesidc
and the easy chair which the work
of n lifetime should have secured
IL: without the protection and love
of children that was her due as
the price of her motherhood. 1t Is
old age with no safe snug narpor
in which to drop anchor at the end
of the stormy voyage of life. and
as I look at 1t. I thank God that
such an old age never came to my
mother. and I pray Him that it may
never COrne to me.
Sometimes / go to the opera and
