The girl who is adaptable will never criticise the customs of the place that is to be her home. She will not announce ‘We did so-and-so in Blanktown.’ She may disapprove and feel she can improve as much as she likes, provided she keeps it to herself. The adaptable girl does not force her opinions, obtrude her wishes, or become a regulator. She does not groan over past luxuries when fortune takes wing, nor be ever anxious for something that is not at hand. She may not like circumstances, but she makes the best of them. So doing, she finds them not half so bad as pictured. It .is well not to be too adaptable. Where this trait is merged into yielding a point of conscience, because others see no harm, to becoming a nonentity with ■ a mind that wobbles toward the last person, it is not to be desired.
