TOO MUCH ROUTINE.
Regular habits are valuable. It is an advantage to be methodical, punctual, tidy; to have a place for everything and everything- in its place. Indeed, without a certain amount of regularity, life becomes a muddle. But it is possible to have too much. People who can't bear to have their habits interfered with are liable to be a nuisance. If the current of their existence is disturbed and checked by every slight deviation from routine they worry others and they are a positive curse to themselves. It shows weakness of character to need the support of routine. Habits are useful so long as they are our servants, not our masters. Routine is dangerous when, instead of being a silken thread helping us to find our way through life's labyrinth, it becomes a chain. All our daily customs should be broken through now and then just to prevent them from getting too itrong. —L.C.
