CO-OpCratlVe vacations.
Those who live on the seashore need
Cor their recreation little journey to
the mountains or into the interior plains
of the country. The one in the interior
needs, on the contrary, the moist salt sea
air. The people who toll the hardest
and most steadily are the ones really
best entitled to outings. They are the
ones most benefited by the change.
The happy period has come in our his
tory when such vacat .ons, such changes
and outing trips are within reach of the
poor. The girl who earns only few
dollars week may have her vacation.
The way to manage it is through CO.
operation. If number of girls or
young workingmen would begin now
and lay by each small sum weekly for
the vacation trip, by the time summer
came the money would be ready. A
very small amount would be enough.
There are cottages by the seashore and
in the mountains, plain little houses,
where the rent is cheap. The furniture
might be only of the temporary kind
used in camping. Young men might
hire cook. Girls can always do their
own cooking. There will be plenty of
time.
The appetite is SO good during vaca-
ton trips that nobody is fussy about
eating. A cottage rented for the season
by an association of vacation seekers
could be occupied in turn by installments
of the members, each installment having
it week, then giving place to the next.
Between now and next summer charm
ing spots can be found, the cottage or
tent rented, the parties made up and the
money saved. A vast amount of pleas
ure can be got out of small means where
there are intelligence and pluck.
