Vacations for Mothers, Too

People who work for themselves
especially mothers, often glory in
not taking vacation in staying
forever at home, in sticking solid
ly to what they believe to be their
duty. To you, my conservative
reader, a vacation is just as necess-
arv as it is to the tired teacher or
the faithful clerk; and for the
same reason-that you do more
work when you do work and do it
more effectively. The duty which
holds you will be better perform
ed, the home that you are guard
ing will better kept, and the cheer
fulness, and courage, and optim-
ism which you need will be more
readily summoned, if you take
time-not next year, but in the re-
manning weeks of this very sum-
mer-to drink in the stimulaut OF
new faces, new landscapes and new
experiences.-In Womans Horne
