A LITTLE < CHANGE | STt A S T grows weary of the grind; and if she has a thoughtful spouse he’ll bear that act in mind. He’ll say at times, “My Susan keeps the house in fine array; she dusts around and mops and s and cooks things every day. She keeps the parlor looking grand, she fashions priceless pies, she takes a swatter in her hand and chases foolish flies. She surely runs our Moated Grange as ‘twould be run by Hoyle, and she’s en- titled to a_change to break the round of toil.” Then to his wife he'll say, “Well, well, how weary you must feel! So let us go to Smith’s hotel and have a high-priced meal. And when our faces have been fed we'll see a movie show; you're tired of baking buns and bread—some change you ought to know. And after such a little break the smiling hausfrau feels it is a joy to broil and bake and dish up_helpful meals. A million boys have left the farm because of changeless food; the bill of fare has little charm, they worry and they brood. They read of viands rich and rare in books and magazines; and they must live on common fare, salt pork and musty beans. The same old spuds three times a day, the same old dish of prunes, the same old drink that tastes of hay, the same old pewter spoons. ‘There’s nothing sadder than routine that never knows a break: the work we do seems cheap and mean, and life a weary fake.
