Mary Rose switched on the

tray, his old coat on the rack in
the corner, his old chair where

dark hair brushed close to his

Make the Most of Your Holidays, Urges Dr. Reed

) bath has been expanded into the
weekend habit which, IL well ar
ranged, may obviate summer
holidays altogether. The week
end, however, is often more of a
distraction than a rest.
Since the rest factor is largely
mental a holiday at home is not
always good, as 1t does not give
a. change of mental atmosphere.
For this reason it is a good thing
to get away from the family or
the usual associates.
The respite from routine should
be continuous and complete; it is
no good to keep in touch with
work and so the holiday abroad,
when letters are not forwarded,
is very good thing. Foreign
holidays, however, are liable to
be too hectic, but a sea voyage
enforces rest.
