at loose ends. Their energy
object no longer seems to be there
to receive the focused attention
as before, and the woman feels lost
and cut adrlft. Useless, unwanted.
What you need, you women, Is
not to feel needed-not more at
tention-not more love.
You need to keep and to give
what love you have for husband
and children, and to have other
outlets besides.
No woman ever made a success
Of her life yet who sought for It
solely in a personal relation,
whether to man or child.
No single personal relation has
ever been enough to use up all Of
any woman's energy.
And II you don't use your energy
you're unhappy. That's the law OF
growth.
So why don't you do something
about It?
Put love first. but don't stop
there. Go on to other outlets.
Can you write or paint or gar
den or train horses or breed prize
chickens or teach anything?
Do something, make something.
You will see the difference In your
feelings. Maybe you will find your
broken heart was unused energy.
Don't try to put all your eggs in
one basket. for no one basket
will hold all your eggs.
