CITY girls who spend much of their
 vacation time in walking or other steady exercise usually find that they tire very quickly. In fact, many cases have occurred where girls have re- turned from their holidays more ex- hausted than when they went away. The unusual exercise, unless taken in moderation and in the proper way, is more apt to fatigue than to strengthen. The average girl is apt to overdo just as much when it comes to health seek ing as when it is a question of pleasure seeking.
 Now, exercise is essential to well be- ing, to glowing health and happiness. Out of door vigorous exercise does more to strengthen the muscles and set the blood to circulating than any tonic or medicine. But, like everything else, exercise is only valuable when taken in the right proportions. If overdone it can easily result in more harm than good.
 You do not expect a Baby to stand on it's feet and run when it is still creeping. No more should you expect your body to run and jump and swim when 1t has been accustomed to noth- ing more vigorous than clicking a type writer or striking piano keys. If you tried to force the progress of the baby's locomotion you would soon find that the little one would come to grief. So will your body fail if you force it be- yond it's limit
 The proper amount and kind of ex- ercise will not only strengthen your body, but will enlarge your physical resources. But to force the capabilities of your body beyond the endurance limit is reckless and criminal. If you are quite unused to exercise do not try to accomplish too much the first few days of your vacation. Do not try to play tennis and golf, to ride horseback to swim and to take long
