What Do Vacation Days Mean to Youp

"Almost every self-supporting
girl" writes Mrs. Anna Steese
Richardson in the August number
of the W0man'S Home Companion
"when asked what her idea of a
vacation is, will reply: "A time
when l can do just as | please,
when can sleep in the morning,
when there are no hours for me to
observe, no rules for me to follow
And when you figure with the av-
erage woman wage Garner on fifty
weeks Of work and two of vacation,
you can hardly pronounce her def
milton narrow or selfish. In reality,
however, her vacation means much
more than this, and in the end she
is not satisfied with these privileges
alone. The habit ot labor is strong.
and after the first reaction, which
comes with release from daily toil, ,
she finds that the right to do just
as she pleases pals upon her. SO
the girl accustomed 10 a daily rou-
tine of Office, store or factory duty,
finds that the condition Of having
nothing to do becomes irksome.
She is cloyed with the sweetness f
realization. Ninety girls out OF
every hundred, returning to busi-
ness after vacation, admit honest
ly that they are glad to get back in
harness. Once rested, they missed
the regular routine. They could
not settle down to doing nothing
gracefully. Within bounds, this is
a normal, healthy sign; but When
the worker frets every minute she
is away from her post, it means
that her nerves are sadly strained
and she is unfit for business. If
YOU do not feel rested at the end of
fortuight's vacation, If you feel
that business is hateful to you, and
all buoyau has left YOU, then
something is wrong Either you
need more rest, more relaxation to
recuperate your nerves. or you are
not meant to be a business girl.
The real dyed-in-the-wool business
girl hungers for her work as a born
housewife yearns to minister to the
physical welfare of her family"

many OF the inhabitants think that
no good baking can be done In any
other oven. Its use Is simple. A
fire Is made In the oven OF good hard
wood and when the oven Is exceed
ingly hot the ashes are raked out
and the large loaves ready to bake
are placed on the bottom Of the
oven without pans. This method Of
baking makes q very thick croute

The August number of the U0-
man'S U0A2e CombaHl0R is primarily
an all-story number--eXcept, of
course, for the twelve Indispensable
departments that appear in each
issue. The second instalment of
Anthony Hopes new love story
"Helena's Path" appears in this
number, and all the other fiction
comes up to the excellent standard
of Mr.. Hopes novel. Among the
contributors are Anne Hamilton
Donnell, author OF "Rebecca Mary
May Isabel Fisk, i'll one of her
inimitable monologues, Zona Gale,
Clinton Dangerheld, Mary Will
helmina Hastings and jeanette
Cooper. Considerable space is de-
voted to the vacation problem, and
DR.. Edward Everett Hale, Marga-
ret T.. Sangster, Anna Steese Rich
ardson and the Editor all give some
admirable vacation suggestions.
The number is elaborate pictorially
with double page of photographs
of children of royalty and of other
prominent people with their pet
ponies-and illustrations by such
well-known illustrators as f. Dali
ton Stevens, Blanche Greer and
Herman Pfeifer.
The article of greatest interest to
most women in the August number
is contributed by Grace Margaret
Gould, the fashion editor, on The
Coming Fall and Winter Fashions.
At this very early date Miss Gould
has secured authentic information
on this subject, through the excep-
tional connections that the Woman'
Home Companion has now made in
all the great fashion centers. This
article will prove to be of the great
est help and interest.
Mrs. Sangster and Mrs. Richard
son continue their talks with girls,
Fannie M. Farmer tells how to
make some appetizing picnic dishes,
and Evelyn Parsons contributes
several attractive designs for sum
mer embroidery. The children's
pages are entertaining as usual.
