Just so. Where life Is assy and there
are no hard problems to solve or seri
ous risks to run. It scarcely can be

Retirement from an active life with
out very definite objects of service to
which one may retire Is seldom a wise
course of action. Many a person loses
all Interest In life Itself after the usual
actlvlttes of n-lifetime harr been aban*

than to see a man or woman, past the
three-score years and ten, busily en
gaged upon a piece of work which
challenges aH their strength. They

persons dream of the day when they
shall have nothing to do. They Imagine
It to be a state of paradise, when

today, and how such a book proved

It.
Don’t be mis

With pen la hand and the blank book

The effect of worrying la disas

remedy for this misery.
Piece Patchwork.
Piece patchwork has all the fascina

textiles Instead of cardboard bits.
It la Just tha thing to work on during
the summer weather since it la light
to handle, easy to sew, and can be
made In squares, stripes, or sections
of small proportions. Many small ar
ticles can be fashioned for summer
time use such as chair seats for quaint
old-time furniture, cushions for sofa*
porches, and garden chairs, benches.
gliders, hammocks, etc., and large and
small bags for all sorts of uses. At

work with frames covered with a piece
