But when you grow old, aad the bowels
become less active, you viii need

ROTATION IN BELONGINGS.
It Is Better, Even, Than "a Place for

her t,1st-rnarried bridesmaids He had a place Tor
every one Of his possessions-you remember, he
took me right to his own home. which he had kept

my own
.eyVhat do YOU mean" asked the new bride-a
college graduate to whom rotation meant pri-
rnarily rotation of crops in the of eco
nomics study.
For instance came the reply. John had at
least six pairs of everyday shoes which he kept in
row in the closet, and each night he put the pair
of shoes he had worn that day at the extreme end
Of the row. and pushed the along; then the
next morning he started out with the pair from
the near end. OF course, in while pair
grew too worn for further use. but he always

shirts and all-the ones that home from the
laundry each week he put at the bottom Of the
pile and so he was always carrying out the plan
of rotation in his belongings-ony do it for
him.
II remember visiting once where the hostess took
me into her linen closet while she put away the
clean things and she followed just that identical
plan-put the fresh sheets and pillow slips and
towels at the bottom; only think she kept every
thing by dozens. for remember her saying that
