the chances are that it is not

Anyway, why not have fun ex-

1t is good idea to jog our

Why Grow Old?
By Josephine Lowmon

We are all apt to get into ruts
of habit and mildew in them for
lack of enough energy and verve
to make us change things, shake
them up, once in a while.
While habits are comfortable
in a way, and many of the hab-
it's of the family are dear and
enriching because of their asso-
Citations and memories, in many
details of everyday life we would
| profit by a little change.
Most women do feel this urge
once in a while as evidenced by
the way they suddenly begin
moving the furniture as though
pushed desperately by some in
ner compulSion. However. once
the furniture showing urge is
satisfied, we often go ahead pre-
pairing potatoes and vegetables
and meats in the same manner,
and having the same desserts
over and over again.
/ We respond happily and gaily
to variety, to a change of pace,
to a bit of new color or a new
dish on the table. With all of

and will provide the cook with a
lot of fun.

which creates an atmosphere of
leisure and quiet, and new
kitchen concoction, may per-
suade the family to linger at the
dinner table with joy, with good
conversation and fine digestion.
| Maybe you have worn the
same colors for years and years.
Why not surprise your family,
your friends, and most of all
yourself, by breaking out in a
new one?

or an old attitude toward life.
In many instances the dreary
sameness with which people al
low their daily lives to become
colored is the result of fatigue
or worry. A change will help
with both of them. Then too,
most often we allow dullness in
daily living because we have
simply fallen into a rut without

There was bold, statuesque slatternliness

her dark hair trailing untidily across one
brown cheek, she had rich, coarse beauty.
She wore green dress, torn in places, and her
finely nodded arms and legs were bare.

Sistrovic swore again, and turned to Arto.

SISTROvIC motioned Jan to move over to the

from JAMS right hand and snapped it about
a stout wooden support that formed part of

Sistrovic turned and eyed her suspiciously.

She stared at Jan; then her face twisted
into an ugly grimace and she spat toward him
angrily.

Captain Sistrovic knew that only too well,

that he had finished up in the other camp.

Jan, through the window, saw her begin to
feed few scraggy hens that came at her call.
Sistrovic gave Arto his final orders and fol-
lowed the man outside to speed him on his way.
Jan was left alone. He strained against the
pole to which he was locked, but he knew he
could never break free.
Through the window, he saw Sistrovic stroll
across to Brijida He talked to her for mo-

Jan saw the compliance, almost eagerness
with which the woman allowed herself to be
embraced
