To Break the Monotony

An entire change of occupation will often prove a grateful rest to a busy housewife. When the needle drags and each stitch represents so much concentrated effort, try some other work about the house. Prepare one of the dishes for dinner or luncheon, tidy up the dresser or chiffonier drawers, launder some of the neckwear or pieces of fine linen you do not care to trust in heedless hands, or, best of all, pick up a book or magazine and take the strain away from the tired body by using the mind exclusively for a half-hour.

At the end of this time you will feel quite as if you had indulged in a long rest, and you will return to the needle with a zest that will mean twice as much by way of accomplishment as did working in a state of fatigue and revolt.—Philadelphia Bulletin.
