Making Plans For Your Annual
 Vacation

RMOST of us are now planning how V we shall spend the vacation, and
 we should give this matter con- siderable thought. The really benefit cial vacation is not the one that merely gives pleasure. It should send you hack to your daily duties with a real zest for work. It should leave you with cheerful view of life and sufficient vigor to gladly resume your tasks.
 To secure a real vacation you should consider your regular employment; dai- ly environment and physical condition are also important in deciding the way the vacation is to be spent. The vaca- tion should bring the required rest and the decision must depend upon wheth- CT you need a rest of mind, body or nerves.
 The woman of slight build and nerv- ous temperament will probably get best results from a vacation at the seashore. The bracing salt air and the sea baths are especially resting to Overtired nerves.
 The women who are in the reducing class should spend their vacations in the mountains. The mountain climb ing and the deep breathing of fresh air in high attitudes are especially con- ducive to the results they desire.
 If you lead a sedentary life, spend the vacation days in activity and vice versa. If you thump a typewriter all year around go camping with jolly friends or get up in the mountains some. where. The saleswoman who is ex- hausted both physically and mentally will find the hospitable farmhouse an ideal spot. If you run a machine or are employed amid noisy surroundings. two weeks in the country will do you a world of good.

But when they looked at the ice cream soda water fountain they were surprised to see that someone had stirred it all up and the soda water was very, very muddy. "Who could have been so mean?" Raggedy Ann asked.

How ToDevelop A Straight
 Back
By DIR. LILLIAN WHITNEY,

 WELL KNOWN artist-critie de ee clares that no woman can be
 considered beautiful whose back is not we'll modelled and covered with just enough and not an ounce too much muscle. With the transparent fabrics and the extremely low de colletage now in vogue, it behooves every woman who is seeking a fine de- velopment to look well to her back.
 The back must be properly propor- toned to the remainder of the body. The shoulders should be no wider than the hips! The natural curves of the back must not be pronounced; otherwise they degenerate into de- fects. A straight, flexible back is the ideal to be sought after. The flesh must be firm and white. Rolls of fat seen upon dowagers and middle-aged women are painful reminders of in- dulgence in table luxuries and ease. On the other hand, winged shoulders too often bespeak bodily infirmities, impoverishment of the blood or general inertia.
 Serious curvature of the spine is very frequently the result of faulty positions in youth and a lack of proper exercise during the period of adoles- ence, when the great muscles of the trunk should be symmetrically developed in out-of-door exercise.
 Nothing accomplishes this as surely as carrying the body in perfect equi- ibrium. Dropping or round shoul- ders and general body slumping puts an extra tax upon certain groups of spinal muscles and leaves others un- used: Shiftless h~bits of carrying the body make for actual deformities. It cannot be too often asserted that a well-poised body and consequent grace ful carriage are the greatest beauty assets women can possess.
 Selected exercises will not only cor rect all spinal troubles not caused by actual disease and mould the back into beautiful, straight, symmetrical lines, but will also have beneficial effect upon the great vital organs.

The trumpet vine, which is usually seen growing on dead trees or old houses, makes an ideal hedge when once established. The plants should be set two feet apart and supported at first by sont stakes. Only one branch must be cut back when three feet high. New growth will come the great quan- titles and fill all the space between the plants. After a while each vine will make a trunk as big as small tree and the stakes may be removed. A little pruning will keep the hedge sym metrical and it will make a perfect liv- ing fence.

he said, Quick! Jump upon my back :! The Raggedys cannot stop the magical house on wheels! You had better come and help them, for am sure the mean old witch has worked magic on the nice house and it is taking them to where she is.' So I hopped upon his back and even if my legs did drag upon the ground, the hobby horse carried me very fast and I got here just in time v
 We will return to the magical ice cream soda water fountain and have some ice cream sodasr' Raggedy Ann said, "so climb upon the roof, nice poor man, and be careful not to roll off and bump your head!" So when the nice poor man was safely seated upon the roof Raggedy Ann cried to the magic house on wheels:

 ion on the bed-her new part, frock. At the simmer of silver slip. pers and hose, the adorable pink feath CT fan her mother had bought for her
 Then she looked in the mirror-more disconsolately than ever.
 There it was! Right on her lip un. der her charming nose. An ugly, un- forgivable and unsightly cold sore!
 "And the party is tomorrow night and it will be a great deal worse by that time," said Miriam grossly as her mother came in to ask if she had de, cided whether to have her dress short. ened a little, as the dressmaker was just going home.
 "Stop picking it, child! Whats a cold sore, after all? Everyone has them at some time or other" comforted her mother.
 "Yes-but what good does that do me? I can't go to the party with my face all swollen up." mourned Miriam. fAnd I did want to go to Sallies par ty! This is the prettiest dress I've ever had in my life and my slippers are so wonderful and you were so dear to give me this adorable fan. But look at my lip!'
 Her mother looked.
 You could hold your fan up to your face a good deal," she said, hopefully. Besides, a cold sore isn't anything. No one will notice it'
 q can't go-everything is spoiled" Miriam sat down before the mirror and gave herself up to unhappiness.
 s,Ir rI N6ak n little spirits of camphor dabbed on quite frequently will cure a cold sore, said Miriam's mother, whose heart was quite as set upon seeing the girl go to the party as Miriam was upon gO- ing.
 "It sounds so stupid! Camphor, and moth balls, and red-flannel-I always think of them as being associated with rheumatism, moths and black magic said Miriam, ill-naturedly. She was determined to be miserable.
 Nevertheless I'm sure 1 read about it some place. I'll send Billie to the store for some spirits of camphor. gave grandmother the last l had"
 So Miriam's mother sent for the spirits of camphor and unwillingly and without faith Miriam dabbed some on her lip with cotton wool.
 She looked at it in ten minutes as if she had expected it to disappear. Il was still as unsightly as ever.
 But she persevered and applied spirits of camphor all afternoon. By evening she had to admit that her lip was less swollen and looked slightly better. She sat up late and applied the spirits al most constantly until she felt that she would forever reek of camphor.
 But she went to the dance and the spot on her lip was scarcely noticeable Camphor is most soothing and healing and is used in practically every hand lotion for smoothing roughened skin The spirits of camphor are slightly an tiseptic, dry up quickly and heal th' annoying little fever blisters or colo sores, that so often follow a slight cold or indicate that the system is just { little out of order. The camphor may be applied frequently until the colo sore begins to disappear!

Meringue is at its best when first taken from the oven, but it cannot be served fresh from the oven on a cold dessert unless one employs this method, which has proved satisfac- tory: Brown the meringue on a separate plate which has been damp ened before the meringue was put on it. After browning the meringue can be slipped into the cold pudding or DOT tions of it arranged on the individual helpings.

For washing baby's bottles, or in fact any bottles, nothing can excel soda and water. Use small shot and be generous with the soda and the bottles or decanters will sparkle. Soda cuts the grease and makes the cleasing of glassware easy.

Raggedy Ann un- locked the door of the little magical house on wheels and came out on the front porch. Thank you, nice poor man, for sending the mean old Minga witch away through the bushes.

 We'll, sir !" the nice poor man said, when I lifted you upon the pack of the hobby horse I thought sure you would be able to stop the house on wheels when you caught up with it, so I sat down and had eighteen ice cream so- das and waited. But after a while I heard

 Some gardeners think they get the best results by growing beets in groups of three or four, with a foot between. Certainly beets do not require as much thinning as amateurs often think, es- pecially when the little beets are to be pulled for the table. They have way of pushing out and making room for themselves which allow them to keep on growing. The things can often be set in another part of the garden it is very easy to transplant onions, beets and leeks. In fact, practically any vegetable can be moved when very small if the roots are not disturbed.
 Ferns are coming to be very popular in home gardens. They require less at- tention than Towering plants and are almost as attractive. They are most graceful when grown in partial shade and in rather moist ground. When planted in sandy soil and in sunlight, the fronds are much mere likely to be- come stiff and straight. The Cinnamon the Ostrich Fern, the Walking Fern, Fern, the Christmas Fern, and the Lady Fern are among the best kind to grow.

NEW ORLEANS, La, December g.,
The Southern Athletic Conference,
in session here, has unanimously
adopted an amendment to the consti-
tuition to divide the body into groups,
as follows:
Maryland and Virginia; North Car
olina, South Carolina and Kentucky;
Georgia, Tennessee and Florida; Ala
bama, Mississippi and Louisiana
From each of these groups repre-
sentatives of the colleges VIII select
a member OF the executive committee,
composed of officers Of tho conference
and the four members thus chosen.
representatives of each of the in
stitutions forming tho four groups
met later and selected a representa-
tive whose name win be presented
to tho nominating committee Of the
conference.
In the Maryland-Virginia group
are the University OF Maryland. Uni
versity of Virginia. Virginia Poly
technic Institute. Washington and
Lee and Virginia Military Institute.
DR.. S. V. Sanford, University of
Georgia, president OF the conference,
in his annual report suggested that
students holding scholarships be ex-
cIuded from participating in inter-
collegiate athletics and that college
base ball be not abolished, but that
the bylaws on Summer base bah be
amended so that a student would be
Ineligible for participation in inter
collegiate base ball If he had played
on any team that had played more
than three games q week.

We decided that the best thing we
could do would be to take him out,
give him some clubs and let him play
few holes. After that he would
know more about tho sport than we
could give him in days of oral ex-
plantations.
Standing at the right OF the fair
way, IS yards from the first tee, but
so far off the course it seemed i'm
possible that any ball could hit II,
was a huge oak tree. However, fol-
lowing instructions as to stance and
swing, the reporter proceeded to do
this very thing. Except as to di-
rection he had gotten n whale OF a
drive, too. And so, when the ball
struck the trunk Of the oak, it re-
bounded with terrific force in the
direction of the tee.
Our friend, the newspaper man. by
quick work caught it on the first
bounce. Then, turning to us with
ill-concealed pride, said:
And what are you supposed to do
with it now?"
1t was too much. Howls of glee
enveloped him, from which came pres
emily the advice:
do 1t all over again-if you can,
you're a cracking good golfer"
We dragged the writing man
through three holes. But after a Sc
ries of heartrending plays he re-
fused to go farther. I presume he had
been made lifetime enemy Of golf.
