And I have learned that often, when these young women begin to talk of getting a job, it is because they've been keeping their nose too close to the grind- stone at home.

He says her place is at home with the child.

In fact, a child specialist in charge of a successful clinic told me, once, that nothing is more nerve-wrack- ing than working with young chil- dren on a full-time basis. 3-POINT PLAN So, for your correspondent's benefit, may I suggest: 1. Plan ahead for free periods each week -- say, one, or, better, two after- noons a week -- when a baby sitter or a relative takes over. Expect to have fun during this relief period. You may go out: or you may stay in: but let the sub- stitute keep baby out of trouble, You will return to duty refreshed. 2. Think of homemaking as a real career, which it certainly fis, one that challenges both mind and heart.

You might take turns baby-sitting, or perhaps even for a cooperative play school or nursery school. And this would relieve one bugaboo of young motherhood, namely, the isolation from other adults.
