Alice Fischer's Say.

AnCe rIbcncfS say
 ITO live a natural life. to get out of herself. to dress simply, take her pleas ures quietly, sleep as much as possible to be altogether comfortable in mind and body will make a woman healthy wealthy and wise and her summer va cation a joy for ever." said Miss Alice Fischer. who is playing in one of the Broadway productions.
 My idea of an ideal vacation would include a very large don't on the fol- lowing point:-Don't make the summer months gay season like tts one most women spend in toEn. On the other hand it's as b2a11 though in anoth- CT way to make, a recluse a hermit of yourself; that isn't at all necessary. You need yoIr friends, a few of them. with you just as much on long ca catlon as at any other time. but this ioea ot tressfng up, of thinking more aoout Your clothes than of recreation TOT mlnd and body. is one of the great est pars to the thorough enjoyment of HE awiy from town.
 Wheis I go away to my favorite summer Ing place. which is In Rhode 1slano' live in shirt waists. golf sklrts ana sunbonnets I don't want to evcn see the dress-up gowns I have to wear m town, on the stage and In my home life. 4 %t changes a day are all I ever want to mahu .s,S. ore to get into my bathing suit and back again into my serviceable short skirt. I'm always ready then for wheel ride, for driving, golfing. walking or any of the sports happen to like, with never a thought of having to change
 50 much depends on the place you choose for a summer vacation. If you find one where you feel that you don't have to dress and that the people you meet don't expect 1t of you-for It's living up to the worlds expectations that really keeps us worn out-then you have found the right kind of spot, at least, in which to spend a pleasant vacation, providing the surroundings and scenery are equally attractive
 '"There are some women who go away for the summer for nothing but the rayeties they know they will find. For a society woman this would be deadly, but you will often find that these sum mer butterflies are little grubs that are housed up all winter Summer Is their time for enjoyment. and for such as these the pleasures most of us are eager to avoid are really recreations that serve a very good purpose.
 "A little study Is a good thing. It helps to season the days pleasures. and I have found that there is no time like the summer to give one a chance to  catch up on literature. music art or any branch in which one is particularly in- terested.
 Lots can be accomplished during the summer months, but womans chief ain, should be to give herself as much out. door exercise as she can stand, to get herself into excellent condition for the winter You've no idea how much wor. rv and time are spared us when we don't bother about new clothes and sew eral changes day.
 T enjoy bathing very much, and ] think there are many women as devot- cd to it as am. The only dot can think of to suggest on this line Is Don't make your summering ridiculous hv vour choice of bathing suit. Don't wear white ones or any of those ab. surd things you hear about. Be as in' conspicuous as possible. but get tho greatest amount of pleasure you car out of any of the summer vacation en- joyments."
