Vacation for Modern
Girl Includes Work
Combined With Play
The "good old summer time" is
not what it used to be for daughter
home from school.
The so-called modernists who have
given girls liberty to dabble in poll
tics and to choose careers, have re-
placed the embroidery hoop with the
typewriter.
Gone are the days of our mothers
when practical experience was linn
tied to the kitchen. Girls come home
from school today and look for q
position. Clerical work, social serv-
ice positions, teaching in summer
school, various kinds Of work at
summer camps and resorts, take up
their idle moments, and yet the Gu
linary art has suffered no great
slump.
Our mothers had their outdoor
sports, but they were quite limited
to lawn croquet, and tennis for the
more hardy girl. They had SWIM
ming too, but in cumbersome cos
tunes which weighed more than the
modern girls street dress. This
summer the coed will get a coat Of
tan and hardened muscles on the
golf course. She plans to ride a
little, dance a lot, work all day, and
she calls it vacation-and means it.
With the passing Of the crochet
hook and tatting shuttle, the girls
who do not take positions have found
q new way to spend summer after
moons when schoolmates gather in q
cool parlor. Bridge is the word!
One table and sometimes two tables.
The schoolgirl Of yesterday is q
bridge fan today too, but when the
girls met during her vacation from
school they embroidered initials on
shirt waist pockets, made fudge or
pasted in scrapbooks.
In the evenings hammocks in
variegated colors creaked on the best
front pOrches, and the same old moon
which will shine tonight was atten-
tive to the girl Of some years ago
and her beau. Lemonade, made with
lemon juice, sugar and water,
awaited their pleasure on a nearby
porch table. Tonight a Klaxon will
sound on the driveway and the mod
ern girl will forget the day at the
office, the tedious months of school,
for somewhere an orchestra is call
ing.
Ice cream socials, horse and buggy
rides, elaborate belt buckles, French
puffs, ruffles and Fittings, meant
places to 90 and things to wear
when our mothers sang, mo more
teachers, no more books. Vacation
meant coming home from school to
regain ones strength for the next
school term. Not so for the coed of
1928, for hers is a summer of activ-
ity. Wonder what our daughters will
call play.
