! There are three kinds of fatigue. There is the legitimate fatigue which is felt at the end of a day of wholesome work: There is fat igue that is felt when the body is putting up a tremendous fight to overcome some diseased condition. And there is fatigue which is the physical manifestation of depres- Bed state of mind.
 The latter was the kind of fa- tigue from which Mrs. c. was suf- Gering.
 T felt as if I couldn't go on," she says when asked about it. T was done with life. Ten more years to bring up my youngsters and then I wanted it to end"
 That 10 more years seemed in- terminable and almost impossible. Net today Mrs. C.'s alert manner, erect bearing, springing step, and quick, bright speech make you won der if she had ever seen a tired day in her life.

 The day she admits this truth Sally is on her way either to getting husband at last or de- ciding that she would rather not marry under the circumstances. If the latter, she can concentrate on getting somewhere in her pro- fession, and building the best life possible for herself, by herself.

 Fashion and beauty experts agree that the overweight woman usually looks a great deal better in dinner dresses or in evening gowns that. cover her shoulders and upper arms than in decollette creations.
 They stoutly maintain that back less evening gowns with narrow shoulder straps only make her seem even fatter than she is. They recommend dresses with sleeves, or. at least wide, of-the-shoulder draping. Y LINES SHOULD BE
 VERY SIMPLE
 On the other hand, they like to see the large figure in gowns which are cut low enough in front to show of her well-rounded chest and neck. High necklines are for the thin girl whose neck is scraWriy with deep hollows along the collar bone. Another thing the overweight woman ought to remember when deciding on ensembles for evening is that the simpler her grown is, the more becoming it will be to her. She ought to depend on beau- tiful fabrics and good lines never on trimmings, fiamboyant colors or elaborate accessories.
 BLACK IS KIND
 TO LARGE FIGURES
 Black is the large figures best bet in formal gowns. Navy blue, medium gray, wine and soft, dark ish green are other good choices. Conspicuous jewelry, real or cos- tune, should be limited to no more than three pieces-say, bracelet and huge clip and a ring or earrings, clip and bracelet.
 Certainly no woman who wantS to appear simmer than she is would think of loading herself down with earrings a necklace, clip, bracelets, watch and ring. Furthermore, while she may likS red as an accessory color, she cer- tainly does not choose it for com plete dress or a suit or a coat. She doesn't wear horizontal stripes either. And she certainly avoids fantastic headdresses of feathers, jewels, yelling or even flowers.

that you are tiEed of. Then make the best kind of adjustment that is possible.
 As one eminent psychologist has expressed 1t, you can think with what you are not thinking of, and therefore you must keep the diffi- culty from becoming an obsession, You must make constructive ad- justment mentally and emotIonally, whether the situation changes or remains as 1t is.
 You must get conflict out of your mind. To yield Is sometimes as important as to strive, to ace cept as important as to resist.

 SELF-CENTERED

But Sally won't look at the mat ter from a mans point of view She kids herself that she is really smart CT looking than she was ten years ago and that she is far, more intelli- gent. And by looking at mirror in rather dim light she can even con- vince herself that she doesn't look more than a year or two older than she did ten years ago, what with her more hattering hair-do, etc., etc.
 What Sally must admit to her selt-if she is ever to marry-is that woman's value Gin the eyes of marrying men) deprecfates with the years.
 So Sally, in all likelihood, won't be able to get the man of her dreams - if she ever meets him He'll take someone younger.

 Such a room is often a god- send in a family. When the grown daughters of the family are using the living room for guests, a room like this, either upstairs or down, gives mother and dad a place where they can get a late supper, or spend the evening. Or vice-versa, tka young people can use it. The same sort of furnish ings could go in a game room if that is what you happen to have.

family. Yet she did it.
"She never did anything" yet
she was a jack Of all trades and
good at them all. She was a Judge
who had to use the wisdom of SOL
omon in settling the disputes be-

She was a doctor who knew what
to do for minor juvenile ills And
she was q nurse whose hands had
healing in their touch, who could go
without food or sleep or rest for
days and nights together while a
sick child clung to her, and would

was the character builder whose

She bred in them honor and

Dyeing Hints

Dyeing Is one of the tricks thrifty
women use in renovating old OF
faded clothes. Take one of last sum-
mer's faded frocks, give it a brand
new color and perhaps a fresh white
frill at the throat, and your friends
will never be the wiser unless you
give away the secret yourself.
Before making preparations fol
dyeing, take down the hem and oper
up folds, shirring, tucks or seams
that might interfere with even dis
tribution of the color. This pre-.
caution also makes for easier ad-
justment Of size If the garments
should shrink.
The next step is thorough washing
In soap and water. For successful
results spots and stains must be
carefully removed for dye will not
cover soil in any form. Rinse we'll
While dress is still wet immerse it In
the dye bath, making sure to use q
utensil that will hold enough liquid
to cover it without crowding.
Stir constantly for as long a time
as the directions specify, then rinse
again until the water shows nc
trace Of coloring and the pieces are
ready to be re-assembled into q
good-as-new dress.

The screaming Bunny was hauled

you SO, mother. I don't know how
I'm going to face him"
Dreading to meet the disconsolate
child, mother went into the house
There was no sound of grief. Doubt
ing her senses she peered into the
rooms, but no weeping child ap-
peared. Going to the rear window
she looked out to see Bunny playing
hide and seek with his three neigh
bors, shouting the loudest and run

Children adjust themselves to new
situations quicker than grown peo-
pie do. The length of time the ad-
justment requires depends upon the
nature of the child and the severity
OF the change. But all healthy chill
dren adjust themselves in time and
they will do 1t sooner and easier II
there is nobody suggesting how hard
1t Is for them. Just let them alone
as much as possible and they find
way.
This is comforting when children
have to be sent away from home
to school or camp or elsewhere
Going to school or camp Is never
too hard because children enjoy
being with other children. They are
interested in what they do and say
In their looks and their ways. This
interest Is enough to displace any
feeling of inconsistencies in all but
the rare child. If parents could see
their children in the new school OF
camp IL hours after leaving home
they would be like Bunny's mother
almost unbelieving.
The absence of fearful relatives
Is most helpful to these situations.
The relative who stands gazing visit
fully at the child just admitted to
school or camp, instead of leaving
promptly and cheerfully, sets the
stage for a scene. kiss mother

little boy tonight?" is an invitation
to dramatics, a spilling Of emotion
that is harmful to the child and
everybody else.
When 1t is desirable for child to

must often be so, do what is neces-
sary and get out Of the way. Give
him . chance to adjust himself
promptly. Put no strain on his
emotion and control your own.

adjustments to lift all his days and
the easier they are made the more
successful he will be concerning
them. II Is not smart to cling to q
child, nor to persuade him to cling

One Of the prettiest stories that
has come to my attention recently
is about an old, woman who. when
selected to be paid special honor
as the most notable mother in her
community, exclaimed: who, me?
Why, I've never done anything. I
just brought up a houseful of girls
and boys to be decent men and
women. That's all. Nobody ever
noticed me before" She never did
anything. yet she was a soldier who
fought her battles as bravely as
any general whose breast is covered
with medals and whose deeds live in
song and story. Eight times she
faced death through torture that
has become the synonym for suffer-
ing, to bring her children into the
world. Her life was always a hand
to-hand fight with poverty and i'll
health and encouragement, but she
never once ran up the white flag.
She never whined not complained.
No matter how weary she was, no
matter how her heart sickened with
fear, she struggled on because she
was fighting for something dearer
than life to her. She was protect
ing her home and her young. She
never did anything, yet she was q
day laborer who had no union hours
and no 40-hour week. She had no
holidays, no vacations, not even a
Saturday afternoon of. For there
was always so much to do in a poor
household where there were no
servants and the babies trod on
each others heels.
There was a husband to be
catered to and made comfortable;
meals to cook, floors to scrub, soiled
clothes to be washed, clothes to be
patched, stockings to be darned, and
always the incessant cry for
Mother. And, somehow, mothers
frail little body carried on under q
strain that would have sent a prize
fighter to rest cure.
"She never did anything" yet
she was q fnancier who would have
been Secretary Of the Treasury If
she had gotten her just deserts.
