Adaptability to new work and new
conditions is too infrequently found In
people. Like the furniture. we look
awkward and out of place when we
are moved to new position, Having
once found a corner or a convenient
wall space into which we seem to fit,
1t is often the wisest plan to stay
there and to make the best of our
position. The main thing Is to lind
the proper corner, and then to let the
furniture stay where 1t is put.
