that triggers the attack...
Symtoms are easily recog

begins to show signs of stress.
She ' spends a lot of time
looking through cookbook-;, or
pattern books, and magazines,
looks a lot at the pots and pans
or sewing machine and con

mothers and leaders.
The middle week of August
finds the occasion drawing
treacherously near. The mem
ber now moves ahead like a
whirlwind and leaves a trail of
disorder behind. Not to be
distracted now, the sewing
machine and kitchen are her
domain. Stay out of the way.
