ThemseIves while Apart.
Vacations are being planned now.
Therefore. pausei
A new and wondrou5 vacation
scheme has been discovered. It's ad-
vantages applicable sooner or later. to
the whole human race, including the
multi.millionaires.
For the present, says the Philadel.
phia North American. only the married
portion need, as was SO dramatically
observed, pause. Yet even those for
whom hesitancy is not urged will do
well to give the marvellous new vaca-
tion plan q passing thought ere they
rush headlong onward toward their
week or so Of bliss with their Darby
or their Joan. It'll come handy In the
future.
All England seems to be for Il; all
America seems to be against II. This
not only makes II interesting, but
highly probable, since the free and In
dependent United States seems still to
rejoice In It's traldom to the leading
strings Of Europe.
Here II rs: Let husbands and wives
arrange to enjoy their vacations apart
from each other; and meanwhile let
the husbands and wives Of the desper-
ately ennuied years TO come secretly
get ready to do the same wise thing.
Amanda" you can observe this
evening-carelessly, you know. Just
like that-"Amanda, darling, I've been
thinking over our summers vacation"
"Huhl" Amanda darling will ejacu.
late out Of the depths Of experience.
You moan your vacation, I suppose.
When did ever get a vacation. tralp-
sing around wherever you thought
you'd hnd the best fishing. or bathing.
or eatins--just you tell me wheh,
that's all"
Amanda, dearest'--and here you
pass q tender hand gently over the
hair Of the Bavarian peasant girl
whom she honors by donning her
combings-"I have felt your dissatis.
faction with our vacations for years.
know I have been selfish, and II
occurred to me last summer that this
thing Of making you go 10 places Just
TO suit me is unfair TO you. So
thought. this time. I'd suggest that
you select the place you would like
best and spend all our regular vacation
money Just as you please"
why" demands Amanda dearest,
after her nrst gasps OF amazement'
'what are you going TO do7"
"oh." you rcjo,n m guilelessiy a.
your profound guile will admit. I'll
hustle around somehow-go TO some
cheap place or other. and 10 shy on
the fall suit TO make up for my ex'
renses."
There arc plenty Of them who won't
suspect anything. and plenty more
who. n they do. will be 30 ticklcd "a
ccath at the chance that they'll agree
anyway.
And when vacation time comes
around, and you twain 20 your sep
arate ways. you will both have the time
Of your lives for about twenty.fouI
hours. After that. In steadily dimin
ishing measure. the joyous expects
tiona Of untrammelcd liberty will con
tinue TO be satisfied until. at the end
Of the fortnight. you'li be 70 hungry
for Amanda darling. and Amandi
darling will be so hungry for you. that
when you meet At home again II will
bs a glorious honeymoon all ovel
again.
You see. you will discover that yo'
aren't such a winner with the girls nj
you used TO be; and she will md ther'
is. somehow. a settled look about hei
that leaves her pretty lonely; anS
both OF you will find that neither car
be quite comfortable with the othel
dear charmer away.
That's the theory OF II, and II ha'
tho added benefit that II may prov'
one Of the best preventives OF divorce
One might always call II trial divorce
as offsetting the current advocates o.
trial marriages n II had been mootet
by any less orthodox personages thar
