A WALKING HOLIDAY;
IT'S WORTH TRYING

Two girl friends have Just been enjoy
ing rather a novel kind OF holiday Both
og them arc strenuous wnr workers, and
badly needed break
They went for walking tour But
their plan was different from that usually
followed
Most people who understand a trip of
this kind do too much, and, as s con
sequence. they are more tired at the end
than they were when they started. Tins
tour was simply a quiet ramble All the
tame they just wandered fDam one village
TO another, sleeping IN fresh place every
night The daily distance covered did not
average more than about four miles, SO
that there was no chance OF getting over
done. By far the greater part OF the time
was spent sitting out OF doors, under
shady trees.
The wholesome outdoor life worked
wonders. and they say they have got
more good than during any holiday they
have ever taken. The only time they
spent in the tram was gong TO their
starting point and coming back TO town
Almost every day there was some
amusing little adventure, and the con-
slant change of scene prevented any
thing ike boredom. They made a point
of avoiding the towns, and not once did
they visit any of the recognized places Of
resort.
With regard TO clothes, they carried all
needful things with them IN satchels.
Once or tpice they had few things sent
them by parcel post from home The food
question did not present any serious diff
culties Sugar and tea they took with
them Very little meat was eaten, and the
girls say they were all the better for this.
There was always something TO be had, IN
cluding find" sometimes OF quite I'M
expected little lux1lries
This is the ideal kind Of walking tour
for tired people With all ones might the
temptation to reach a certain place, or
create mileage record, should be resisted,
Let the trlp be a mere dawdle over the
country, a real holiday
