s-So romance can be peeping from
the corners about you and unless it is
discovered and recognized as such it
will be lost. Take for example the
lineman in the field who finds melody
in song of the high lines across the
plains. All day he works to repair
the wirys so that others may have the
comforts and pleasures .of a home
with its cm1 vetiiences. The. ruan who
helps to build, the great machines that
are used at harvesting, he loves the
human and whirr of'the motor which
to him is not a cold machine of riv-
eted parts, but a- kindly creature that
throbs to his own heartbeats.
Disguised as it may be, romance'
gilds the duties of us all and waits
only to.be discovered. And though
we look in other fields to find it, often
it is closest to our own work.
