ABOUT THAT VACATION.

She was a very methodical young
woman and she worked in one of the
government laboratories producing
some very complicated sort of sta
tistics every day but Sundays, holi-
DAYS and the two weeks of her vaca-
ton. And it was one of the labo-
ratories where thcose- two weeks OF
vacation might be taken to suit the
convenience of the wage Garner at any
time between June and the end Of
September.
Miss Mcthodical went about the
problem OF selecting her two weeks
with the same precision with which
determined in the morning whether
she would need to carry an umbrella
with her that day or decided the color
and cut of her new suits-all with de-
liberation and dispassion.
Other young women might have
been Influenced by the consideration
of when their friends were going va
cationing, but not so with Miss Meth
odical. She reasoned out that the
worst thing that could happen to any
vacation was to have it coincide with
set of rainy days, and that one
might as we'll have no vacation at all
as to take it when the skies were
pouring rain. She, therefore, consult
ed the weather reports for the last
twenty vears-enough TO establish
a scientific average-and after due
figuring she discovered which two
consecutive weeks between June l and
October l are least likely to have rain
and. with the calm satisfaction that
comes with scientific achievement,
she requested and had granted to her
the privilege to take her two weeks
within this dry season.
Well, you can imagine what hap
pcncd-juSt what usually does with
such carefully laid plans. The very
weeks that she had chosen as on the
average most favorable to vacations
proved to be that summer. the very
wcttcst. and the days OF her vaca-
ton were mostly spent waiting IN
vain for skies TO grow brighter.
So when it comes time for YOU to
IT, your vacation-and even the
Ausv mother nowadays has few
->eks. respite from her tolls in the
.0nmcr timc-don't do too much
s,hcming Don't lay too many plans.
Ta,.c tic wonderful days OF Your holi-
day when they cone, with heart
free from care and irce from worry.

Z BIRTHDAY
AND NOIRS
June camilla Dufour Toulmin,
Princess Yolande.

90 Today is the fourteenth birthday OF the
little girl who is said to he the prettiest
princess in Europe-Yolan de. daughter OF
King Victor Emmanuel III and his wife.
Queen Helene. Of Italy.
Today is also the one hundred and
third birthday of Camilla Dufour Toul-
min. novelist and translator. Her birth
place and home was in England and at
an early age she showed remarkable
precocity. At three she could read with
ease. When she was eight her father
died, leaving Camilla and several
younger daughters unprovided for, thus
deprving her of the advantages OF
schooling But Camilla more than made
up for this deprivation by private read
ing and study.
1t was not till she was twenty-six that
she began to write. but her literary ca
reer was not long one. For fifty years
she was constant contributor to
Chambers Magazine, a record in maya
zine writing that has seldom been
equaled.
At thirty-two Camilla Toulmin GAR
ried, becoming Mrs. Newton Grassland,
although in her profession she was still
known by her maiden name. Her hus-
band was a London wine merchant OF
literary and scientific tastes. Shortly
after her marriage Camilla became
greatly interested in the subject of spir-
i:ualism. in which she was a thorough
believer. and her book on the subject,
Light in the Valley called forth a
good deal of amusement and criticism.
Her TRANSACTIONS of the novels of Vic
tor Hugo are her greatest contribution
to literature and show remarkable abil-
ity in the use of the English language.
At eighty she wrote her memoirs called
Landmarks of a Literary Life which
met with great success.

Drink Water and Be Healthy

To remain young. drink water-pure
and soft water" So SAYS a famous
physician. Age. he says. lis dryness and
oSsification"
The summer. which naturally produces
thirst for water. is a good time to de-
velop the health-giving habit of water
drinking.
Different authorities give different
amounts of water as the proper ones to
drink. but no hard and fast set of rules
on this subject can be laid down. Drink
a little more water in the course of the
day than YOU are in the habit Of drink
ing: that is a good rule for the beginner
Gradually increase the amount until every
day you are drinking from three pints to
two quarts of water.
There is a difference of opinion as to
the best time to drink water. Some
physicians and dieticians say not to
drink II with the meals. and some say
that it Is needed then. The only way to
find out whether it agrees with you at
mealtimes is to try drinking 1t then. II
you have indigestion after meals. try eat
ing without drinking. and drink between
meals.
