She was a woman happily married the proud possesgor of a really luxurious home. But also she was a victim of that wide-spread and protean mal: dy nervousness, in which her case took the form of an extreme restlessness, and unaccountable tendency to wakefulness at night and mysterious headaches and backaches. : One and all, the various Physicians she consulted failed to find any adequate cause for the symptoms of which she in- sistently complained. FEye men, dentisis X-ray photographers, bacteriologists gave her a clean bill of healtl. Srill she remained achy, wakeful, and rest- less, until she one day paid a visit toa medical psychologist. Volubly she detailed to him the ilis that beset her. Sympathetically the psychoiogist listened patiently he drew from her an outline of her life history. Altcr which he began to guestion her most searchingly regarding her work and hLer diversions. The iatier, it appeared, claimed far more atiention from her than did work of any kind. [t developed, for that mat- ter, that she did not occupy herself even with household duties, but engaged a housekeeper to look after everything. She frankly confessed eitire ignorance of demestic science. But she was a famous bridge player She had won several prizes at golf. Her dancing was the delight of all who saw it. That is it kad been until the pcor woman became too nervous to teke part in the athletic and social functions she had so fiequently graced.
