EVENING CHAT
By RUTH CAMERON.

How many breakdowns could be
prevented, how many illnesses fore
stalled. how many lives saved even if
more women knew when to stop. and
had the strength of mind to stop right
then, even though stopping seemed an
solutely impossible.
l am thinking of neighbor of mine.
She is widow. To support herself
and her children she has a sort of
hospital and home for feeble old peo-
PIE. She has at present seven old
women. All of them are feeble. one is
actually i'll, two are feeble-minded and
one out-and-out insane
Besides the old ladies, she has two
other boarder which. with her own.
makes family of twelve. With the
neip OF two maids. she takes care of
this remarkable household.
Last Saturday, after an unusually
hard siege and almost sleepless week
with the sick old lady. this woman
calmly turned the whole care of the
mousse over to the head maid and went
off for the weekend to visit her
daughter in a distant city.
By accomplishing the work she is
daily doing I think this woman has
proved herself one in a hundred.
But by stopping as she did 1 think
she proved herself one in ten thousand.
When she went away from that
house, Mrs. S. was in al, agony of
said. as she passed through the rooms
she felt as if the pictures were about
TO fall upon her, and as if she were
carrying the house on her back. 1t
seemed to her that she could not lay
| down the care of that household. but
sne knew she must and she did The
moment she stepped on the train she
felt better. When she reached her
daughters house she felt absolutely
happy and carefree for the first time
| in weeks. Almost all the two DAYS of
her visit she slept the exhausted sleep
OF strain relieved, and came home the
third day imm eaSurabIy refreshed and
| strengthened beyond belief.
| When she told her doctor about it
afterwards he said that if she had not
| taken that brief change of scene and
relief from strain a breakdown would
have been inevitable.
Think of all that woman saved by
knowing when to stop and by stopping
under circumstances that the ordinary
woman would have called absolutely
| impossible.
Alice Freeman Palmer. the first
president of Wellesley College, was
noted for the prodigious amount of
| work she could get through despite
her apparently slender stl ength Her
husband accounted for this by the fact
that she always knew when to stop
and always did stop, then put away all
care and fed to her country home, no
matter what needs pressed.
The tired out woman who knows
| that she absolutely needs a little rest
and who says: "I cannot afford to take
| it, because there are SO many who
need me-" is really stating the very
reason she cannot afford not to take it.
| If you are much needed, isn't that
so much the more reason that you can
be spared day or two much better
than a month or two?
! A week, weekend, even a day, of
1 stopping short, resting and recreating
| at the psychological moment, have
STAYED off and prevented more break
downs that weeks and months and
Years of vacations have ever cured
/ Wise, indeed. the woman who has
the wisdom to know when to stop and
the foresight to do it.
