FATHERS’ DAY.

Let us wear a white carnation For the dear old mother's sake: She’s the best of God’s creation, And as good as He can make; But the fathers, plain and prosy, Should be recognized some way, For their Ilves are not so rosy But, like dogs, they need their day, Not the sly dads or the fly dads, Who when rocky grows the road, Duties flouting, take an outing, "Abd let mother bear the load: They deserve no compensation But a cowhide or a goad.

Let us give some recognition To the dads who, year by year. Keep their posts with grim decision. Loss of job their greatest fear, They are working uncomplaining In the mill and market place. Just a modest living gaining. As they keep their steady pace. Not ...e club dads or the dude dads. But the dads who, day by day, Keep on working, never shirking, And at night taae home their pay. They deserve some recognition, Not one day, but every day. —New York Times.
