A woman who had lived the regular
and monotohous though pleasant life
In a country colony for fifteen years
was suddenly Jared by getting the
news that her husband had been ap-
pointed In the consular service abroad.
She was overwhelmed with woe at
the thought OF giving up her golf,
riding, skating, bridge. She could not
wait for events to unfold themselves.
She went away IN tears vowing to
make her husband return within a
year.
1t was a sad sight to see her as the
boat pulled out. sobbing over her
Pomeranian poodle, the only other
member of the family, while her hus-
band stood apart. as n who had
brought on all the trouble.
Since then the changes in the con-
sular life have brought them through
three OF the most interesting OF the
foreign capitals. They have learned
new languages, met all the interest
ing Americans who have visited their
homes. have written a book together
and best of all have two darling little
children TO brighten their lives.
Before they left, although the fash
ionable little wife did not know It. they
were at one OF those turns in the road
which would have led to anything but
happiness. The nan was losing and
spending money at the same time,
and trying to forget his p~erplexities
in the frequent designations of country
club life.
And the wife. chagrIned by his n
duct. was seeking sympathy from her
afternoon tea callers, who were not
slow to urge her to separation. So
their uprooting and new surroundings
have proved the very greatest good
that could have come to them.

Sentiment Is the feeling most often
urged as an excuse by those who re-
main in some rut of comfort that re-
ally means ultimate decay. says Kate
Masterson IN the Philadelphia press.
1t is almost pathetic sometimes to
observe how difficult 1t is to get our
friends to join us for a trip out Of
town for a week end or even for a day.
Most of US go through the same
old rounds day after day and have
al our reasons ready why We should
put of a promised visit that may take
US out Of the beaten track or attend
a view of new paintings or the opening
night OF a play. We never think how
we are starving our brains for a little
new material while our bodies are
being humored IN their old and really
lazy whims.
The trip to Europe. the jannt through
our own wonderful Western mountains
or beautiful Southland remain nndone,
the eyes are left hungry for new scenes
and the spirit for new zest until the
mere act of living becomes mechanical
and we wonder why.
Some OF us claim this to be the vir-
tue Of steadiness and talk of rolling
stones and quote old adages relative 10
the virtues of the set road.
But there really Is an adage to prove
everything. If we look far enough for
IL. which makes this class of literature
an unsafe guide.
When a great change confronts us, or
when. as at.this time OF the year, the
chance for some big changes comes up.
we should meet 1t In the light of a
welcome interruption in the humdrum
Of existence.
If it is inevitable 1t will not be either
hurried or kept back by this feeling,
and II It Isl a chance for a vacation

the old program and admit the new
spell.
This willingness to strike out in a
new line is part Of the youth daring
that all children have instinctively. II
we allow ourselves TO let go once in a
while Of the daily system of each day,
new vistas will open and bright and re-
freshing thoughts will take the place
of the threAdbare one that have been
doing duty SO constantly.
The sticking to old ideas and places
and clothes and foods is a sure sign
that We are losing buoyancy and inter
est in life. Therefore, we nope and
cease to be interesting ourselves. We
are mechanical in our grooves, far more
so than we imagine.

TT Is difficult to understand that a
complete upheaval Of affairs is
very often the best thing hat can
happen us!
We never see 1t that way at the time,
as we are bound in the rut or habit,
but later on we realize with amaze
ment that the old plan had to be des-
troyed to make room for the newer.
better structure.
1t is only the occasional woman that
IS the hnderer. Home is a great mag
net for the feminine person, who gets
to love her inanlmate furniture, her
linens, pictures. flowers and hanglngs
with far more devotion than a man.
So the news of a change Of residence.
gwen though It may mean a ~pecuniary
advantage, is rarely hailed as a bless
by the woman who has grown used
TO her dwelling place.
Her husband may be called by bust
ness changes to SOM other city or
country, n It seems fer the time as
though such a remova must mean
everything that is unpleasant.
Such a summons comes sometimes
when a family. after a long period of
waiting and preparation. may have Sc
cured a home Of their own in town or
country.
Their children are getting on finely
N a good school; relatives are nearby.
The health Of some one member of the
household has benefited when like the
proverbial bolt cores the command
that signifies chans at 5ist that time.
~somsdmeS the husband and father,
hesit' ting to break up the peaceful
PROCLAIM. packs UP and seeks out the
new place alcne, but this rarely proves
anything more than putting off the
much dieaded change or maybe retard-
ling It altogether.
A man starting on a new enterprise,
or an old one in new environment,
needs all the encouraging influences of
his home and his family and the con-
trary conditions bring about unlocked
for complications, expenses and dis
agreements.
Once a change .is decided upon as
being for the best the mere, uproot-
ing of things should never be allowed
to appear of more consequence h
the well being and happiness of the
family as a whole.
Y Moves are never the most comfort
y bile things in the world and too much
is rarely beneficial but on the
other hand the ruts of life are also
disastrous.
We must learn to take a little bit of
risk and be courageous In facing a
new order Of things.

Unusual Dehcactes May Be Prepared
from often Unused Parts of Chicken

cellent >croquettes are made from this
dark meat of the chickens, and de-
licious scallops or coquiIles.
For chicken legs, take six drum
sticks. SINCE them, If they have not
been well sfnged before they were re-
moved from the chicken, boil them for
about twenty minutes in a soup pot. n
then bone them. Season them with a
little salt and pepper, a mere pinch of
cayenne pepper. and a pinch Of the best
mustard for each leg. Rub about half
a t~easpoonful of sauce on each leg. Rub
the pieces Of leg thoroughly, to see
that the seasoning is evenly distributed.
Roll the ~drumsticks, and skewer them
in shape. Cover each one with a beat
