What To Do.
Plans for a little vacation even
though you must, deprive yourself of
a few necessities to do so. If you
have no desire to visit relatives,
save enough for a week or two week 3
sojourn whore yon can pay for tub
comforts, and feel you are depriving
no other woman of her summer's va?
cation. There Is a feeling of Indepen?
dence In paying us orte rocs, and sum?
mer visiting has been greatly nuused.
Cef. away from home, out of the city
or iown, the state, if possible, am:
forgot for the time everything about
tho home cares and troubles. It Is
an inspiration lo a woman, and It
should be the aim of o-ervonc to
lake tho needful rest. 1 here would
be fewer cross women, if they would
only lake a vacation from time 10
time.
