Glonfing Yourself

 Foolish indeed is the girl who, on the first day of her vacation, plays 18 holes of golf or two or three fast sets of tennis, goes swimming. rows a bit, takes a brisk walk, then danc- es half the night. If she has not had much exercise since last sum- mer's holiday, such an ambitious start will overtax her muscles and make them sore and, in general. do her body more harm than good.
 The sensible idea, of course, is to take active sports as we'll as white hot sunshine in lackadaisi- cal manner for the first four or five days. Swim. ride, play tennis and golf or go mountain climbing if you like, but don't do any of these for hours at time or all of them in one day. And do get little more sleep and rest than you are in the habit of getting at home.
 Naturally, having as much run as possible is all-important, and it dces not matter when you sleep as long as you do 1t. If you have danced until. two, don't make an appointment to go swimming at nine the same morning. Go on and sleep until past noon. then swim. Two or three weeks oi adequate rest and sensible amount of exercise can do a good deal to keep you healthy and happy for an entire year.
 And don't go native unless you have isolated yourself in a little ca - bin miles and miles from another human being. No matter where| YOU spend your vacation, keep al iipstick handy and do use some - thing to prevent 8 severe case ol| sunburn and all the grief which invariably follows it. If you ard one who seldom can find time tc| apply a mask or give face ana throat a thorough creaming and n| you really enjoy playing arounc| with beauty preparations, use a ieV| hours of your vacation improving hair, skin, figure.
