USE OF A VACATION.


The Best Medicine an Overworlsed Woman
| Can Take.
How few persons, especially how few
women, know how to take holiday
1t is difficult for busy woman to
wrench her mind away from the bust
ness or domestic cares that have been
engrossing her, and it seems to be still
more difficult for her to be perfectly idle.
Yet II IA holiday is going to do any good
it must afford an entire change in
thought and mode Of life, and genuine
ldleness Tor two or three weeks would
be the greatest change possible to hun
| dreds OF women who are wearing ont
sodl ana body over their work. On the
rare occasions when such woman does
allow herself Il vacation she sets herself
u holiday task, II certain amount of in
structive reading, the writing up of
some pet subject for which she has not
hitherto found time or a quantity of sew
ing, so that the precious days that should
be entirely devoted to physical and men
tai rest and recuperation are mainly
spent over the needle, above a hard book
or ut the desk. She looks up now and
then and rejoices in the sight Of the sea,
the mountains or the broad country
fields, but to give herself over for a time
to mere eflortless existence seems never
to occur to her.
Properly regarded, summer holiday
Is the best medicine an overworked wo-
man can take, for it offers an unlimited
opportunity for sleeping and for being
III the pure open air. A large rug, a
shawl and n cushion are the most i'm
portant parts of the necessary outfit,
while batch of paper covered novels
will supply all the mental stimulus that
is good for her. The rug, cushion and
shawl will provide her with comfortable
lounging accommodations ON the turf or
the beach, while the novels will serve as
II soporific. If she is wise, she will eat
AS much AS possible, exert herself us lit
tie as possible and 90 to bed at clock,
and when she returns she will feel in
iinitely better for having been neither
gay nor intellectual during her vacation.
