By Marguerite Mooers Marshall * Generigat, 1921, by the Prees Publishing Co, (The New York Evening Worl.) ‘FAVE you got that tired feeling which at this time of year especially —when vacation is so near and yet so far—makes most of us hate our jobs, our families, our lives? ‘Then cheer up, stop worrying and get an enthusiasm—for the anti- Prohibition parade, for the clothes you will take away on your vacation, for something or anything that will Bensations of fatigue. keep you from thinking about your Before you know it, the sensations will be gone, f@nd you can go off on your holidays ready to have a good time and not merely to “rest.” ‘That is the invigorating message of Pr, Bosephine A.

Dr. Jackson says, in effect, that fervous troubles cause plenty of uine suffering, even if there is no ganic disorder;” yet that the way to cure them is not to pamper them but to forget them and redirect one’s energies toward other things. For example, take what is perhaps the most widespread of nervous kinks, “that tired feeling.” “Fatigue,” the doctor points out, Me a safety device of nature to keep us within safe limits, but it is a de- vice toward which we must not be- come too eensitive. As a rule it makes us stop long before the danger nt is reached, If we fail into the it of watching its first signals, fhey may easily become so insistent thet they monopolize attention.

Courtship and Marriage By Betty Vincent. ® O young people who have been lovers and then broken off ever feel quite the same if they re- new their friendship? This is a question which “A Con- Stant Reader” asks, and I presuine this same question has arisen in the hearts of many. Now it seems to me that the old saying about absence making the heart grow fonder ap- plies very well here, and if two people truly love each other a separation of this sort ought to greatly strengthen their love. Time is a great tester of the human heart, and if young people feel that things are not the same after a separation it rather looks as if they never experienced the real arrow of love. This particular young lady writes: Dear Miss Vincent—About s' month: a0 an old friend of m claims that he tion to marry and has declared himself, desiring me to say ‘Yes.’ But somehow | cannot feel the same way, toward him.

ILL women be better pals and wives when they wear larger shoes? Will breadth of shoe denote breadth of mind? A despatch from London says that the Englishwoman’s foot is growing larger and, according to London boot- makers, women wiho used to wear No. 4 now wear No. 5 shoes, and soon will wear 63 and 7s. They attribute the development to her growing addic- tion to golf, tennis and other sports. One of New York's largest shoe manufacturers declares that, despite the fact that skirts are up to the knees and most women inclined to cramp their feet for street appear- ance and dances, nevertheless every woman who buys a pair of shoes which are too small immediately buys @ larger pair for country walking, tennis, golf or running her motor. “There is no doubt about it, women are wearing larger shoes," said the manufacturer. “The average girl, that is the one who is tall and broad shouldered, calls for a No. 6 shoe and many ask for No. 6 and 7.
