How Mrs. Roosevelt Endures Great Fatigue.
Mrs. Roosevelt cannot be classed with adherents of mental science, but she has confided to her friends that she is able to smilingly endure intense physical fatigue, and without apparent effort, by following a few suggestions of that cult, says a Washington special to the Chicago Record Herald.
During a recent week, which was one of the phenomenal brilliancy, the mistress of the White House received and conversed with nearly 5,000 persons. In consequence the cabinet women were nearly prostrated by their exertions, which were much less than Mrs. Roosevelt's.
Mrs. Roosevelt says that when she first went to Albany an old friend gave her the following directions: "Compel yourself to become interested in your surroundings, and your bodily exertion will be forgotten. Do not think how long you have been standing or how much your hand pains from too much contact with your guests. Try to think if you have ever met these people before. See how many you can remember. Even try to note the gowns and if you think them becoming. Get yourself interested, and you will forget all about the fatigue."
This mental remedy for physical overexertion is attracting much attention from women in official life. It has proved so successful in Mrs. Roosevelt's case that it will become a fad.
