How to Overcome Vacationitis.
By ALICE MASON.

Nothing could be more ridiculous than to
encourage yourself in the belief that you
have been robbed Of your rights to a happy
life because you are a worker.
Instead of signing over the happy vacation
yesterdays tell yourself that today and to-
morrow can be happy days, too and out Of
your work you intend to get a great deal OF
that happiness.
After q vacation rightly spent and the
Righteousness at settling down to work has
been overcome you will begin to show the
good effect OF change Of air and scene. You
WILL be nllee with zest and energy for the
year ahead. This zest and energy will fill you
with the Joy. Of work.
Don't waste time telling what a glorious
time you had or reveling in pleasant vaca-
ton memories. Your work may get behind
and then you will have to overstrain your
nerves to catch up.
II you have been a foolish virgin " and
have returned from your vacation tired out
from late hours and foolish eating you will
find It intensely difficult to fight these after
vacation dumps. You can do It. though By
going to bed early and resting all day Sun
day until you have recovered the energy 20
recklessly expended.
You can perpetuate your vacation and its
exhilarating effects II you will only put into
practice the good resolutions you made while
you were away.
Don't let a single day go by without the
long walk and the exercise you promised
yourself. Eliminate the MONDAY shopping
rush and hurry and, as you said you would,
spend every minute Of that noon hour you
possibly can in the open air. Every morn
ing and every night spend al least ten minutes
in deep breathing and bending exercises Let
1t be daily exercising, not spasmodIc exercis-
ing. No matter what the temptation to neg
lect. stick firmly to your promise to your
self.
You promised yourself that every day you
would spend at least fifteen minutes In good
reading. Don't lose sight Of the educational
fund you will have to draw on at the end of
year through the accumulative power OF
those well spent minutes II you catch
yourself trying to dodge this resolve with the
" too busy excuse make up your mind you
are slumping. There is no such thing as being
too busy for this daily Improvement. In the
course OF day the average person wastes
easily twice that much time and more.
If in your pre-vacation days you were
guilty Of the overwork habit. resolve to get
right out Of the rut OF too much work ana no
play. Instead Of rushing through your dinner
every evening that you may have more time
for sewing and other duties. treat yourself to
some pleasure-an occasional theater. a con-
cert or opera. Take up some course OF study
mot q taxing study. but something that will
give you pleasure and also that will keen
your brain alert Remember that on the
alertness Of the brain depends advancemen,
and the coveted raise.
Be careful not to let your amb,tion I'm,
away with you. Be normal In your pursuit.
Hoard up that store of energy you brought
back with you and add to it every dsy.
