Pre-Natal Exercises Are Adapted to Housework
By MRS. LOUIS MAHERN I THINK THAT I HAVE, to a certain extent, used the Dr. Read theory during my four previous childbirths . . . without knowing it at the time: Dr. Read pays that the pain is in proportion to the tension and fear experienced by the patient. Therefore it seems logical that I would be affected by the mental viewpoint of older women in my family who've had children. : I've never heard my mother talk the going-to-death’s-door kind of talk. She always seemed to regard labor as a job that must be done and I grew up with that idea. In the early stages ® This is the second of five articles by Mrs. Mahern who expects - her next child on Wednesday. The first appeared Tast Sunday.

Without knowing anything about the method, I was determined to see how far along I could get without taking anything. . ; I went to the hospital about midnight, with fairly strong contractions. When the nurse had prepared me, she came around with two yellow capsules. I told her that I didn’t need them yet, so she left them for me to take when I wished. At 2:30 o'clock she came over and felt a contraction, and saw that the capsules were still there. - : I know now, if she had been trained to natural childbirth, she would have said, “That was a good one!” or some similar encouragement. Instead, she said rather crossly, “In 15 minutes that pain will be unbearable; you take these.’ She was a nurse; she must know more about it than I did. So I (Continued on Page 37, Col. 8) ste
_ Mr. and Mrs. Homer Earl Capehart Jr. were married June 17 after a courtship that began at the Meridian Hills Country Club's Fourth of July celebration last summer. The bride, the former Miss Harriet Jane Holmes, and ‘Earl had met" both were in graduate school in Harvard University. Earl's father, Republican- senior Senator from Indiana, put aside politics to join in the festivities.
Showers, luncheons, teas, cocktail parties and dinners both here and in Oxford, O., where Harriet was a teacher in Western College, highlighted the advance parties. ‘Mrs. Walter C. Holmes, 5945 Washington Blvd., gave a trousseau tea for the bride, Shown at the flower-decked table are Mrs, Thomas C. Capehart, sister-in-law of the bride; Miss Joan Dolen, Edinburg, and Harriet.
