Proclamation of it. Human be-
havior is directed toward Gre
ating particular situations or
relationships.
We don't mean to suggest the
girls want illicit relations with
men. More likely. for some
strange reason, they want and
expect to be hurt, disillusioned
and Inundated by men. The
experiences the girls describe
could happen once or twice to
anyone. but when it becomes
the rule rather than the excep-
ton. 1t Is time for them to ex-
anime their own attitudes.

Did she really see this man as
absolutely wonderful" or did
she make UP his wonderful
characteristics in her own
mind just to prove how far
short he would fall IN terms Of
actual behavior? Sheila should
also ask herself whether he
really turned out to be as black
as she claims-or is she exag-
gerating a bit?
II these girls are sincerely
interested in marriage, they
will look for new sources Of
social contacts to bring them
in touch with men OF similar
inclinations. It is not enough
to stay in circulation" as
Eunice believes. The area Of
circulation should be planned.
Church contacts are good
and so are friendships with
happily married couples. The
girls should get over depending
upon one another for dates, for
they have the same self-defeat-

Work of q parent for his son

I think the mother Of pre-

out q job analysis. just as in
dustrial workers do. She
must list all the essentials Of
her home management and
space them out so that two
heavy jobs don't fall on the

must put REST for Mother"

tials.
A businesswoman needs the
same sort of organizing but
she has q greater problem.
She has three choices: (a) to
do her job properly and let
her home go: (b) to let the
Job go and keep her home in
perfect order or (c) fatigue.
The difnculty is that an as
tonishing number Of other
wise intelligent women choose
fatigue rather than have
their homes less than spotless
and their jobs a notch under
perfection. When they have
been suffering from fatigue
long enough they will fail at
both jobs, but it is hard to
convince most women of this
until after their breakdowns.
Monotony is also q breed
ing ground for fatigue. An

the best solution, something
that will keep them in q hub

There is another type Of
fatigue I might mention here
most medical doctors-the

spiritual fatigue that results
from selnshness. Self-cen-
