TAKE TIME TG ENJOY LITTLE SENSE IN OVERWORKING TO THE BREAKING POINT. Wirtuo That Is Excellent, in Modera. tlon, Can be Transformed Into a Vice—How One Woman Con- serves Her Strength. “She’s making big money,” sald a man to me the other day, speaking of a mutual acquaintance, a woman who, beside editing a magazine, had recently undertaken to write a series of articles that would require a lot of research, “but what she needs is to learn to spend some cf it. What's the good of money in the bank to a dead person. She is overworking herself to the breaking point.” The savings bank habit is a mighty good one, but you don’t want to let it get the best of you. You can overdo prudence just as you can anything. A virtue that grows to be an obsession cannot be distinguished from a vice. There are times when you ought to be extravagant, ought to give your- self “the best there is,” and think it none too good. We all know what it is to feel stale. If we realized that severe nervous breakdowns often start with that same “stale” feeling we might learn to regard it more seri- ously than we do. When you feel “all tuckered -out” cash a check at the bank and run down to Atlantic City for a couple of days. They’ll do you more good than a month after the doctor has ordered ® rest. One woman I know takes four days every month to play in, going off Wednesday night and returning Mon- day morning. As she doesn’t take the half holi- day on the other Saturdays to which she is entitled, you see she doesn't really lose much time, She leaves town either alone or with a chum who won’t expect her to be “sociable,” goes lo the sea or the hills or to some oth- or city, puts up at a simple hotel where the food is good, and just plays. You would never think, if you met her an one of these jaunts, that she knew what work was. She always takes a good book with her, one of the “old ‘ellows,” as she calls them, and drops the magazines and papers, clearing her mind of everything in the least like her usual routine. One in a while she poes to visit a friend, but as a rule she prefers the greater freedom of a hotel. And she comes back to her work a woman refreshed and radiant, thor- pughly convinced that her time and money both have been well spent. Many of us think we can’t do things pecause we haven't tried. Perhaps few of us can arrange to pool our holidays wnd have to do the best we can with those that come along in the regular tourse. But we ought to give ourselves i real treat once in a while, for there Is no greater tonic in the world than enjoyment. You don’t always need to spend money for it—a lot of enjoyment tomes as free as sunsets, a child’s laugh or a good walk. But it is better to spend a little money foolishly, or what seems foolishly, on oneself every pow and then, instead of to be forever taving up for that “rainy day” we live In such terror of meeting. You can’t beat health, serenity and a growing lund of pleasant memories.—Hilde- garde Hawthorne. — L Ore on the Proofroom, There are few words in the um- bridged dictionary that have not at some time invaded the proofroom of this office, but one came in the other fay, an utter stranger. It was in the body of an astronomical article. “This beats me,” said proofreader No. 1 to the copyholder. “Let’s see the copy.” There it was written in with a beavy hand in the blackest of black nk. “It’s got more legs than a spider,” said the proofreader. Only six letters jn the word, and five of ’em below the line. There it was syzygy—three of the 3ix letters are y’s. “What does the blooming word mean?” asked the copyholder. The proofreader for the first time in many moons declined to give an opinion. The dictionary was consulted. “Syz- 7gy—the point of an orbit, as of the moon or a planet at which it is in con- |unction or opposition.” The word is pronounced sizz-e-gee. “Sounds like the cracker to a col- lege yell,” sald the proofreader as he tlosed the book. S e ok i Recovered Courting Expenges. ' A man sued another in the Liver pool (Eng.) county court for. the ex- pense of a courtship. They formed the mcquaintance of two young ladies, and when the two couples went out to- gether the plaintiff in the case paid all the expenses for the time being. The defendant married his young lady, 'F:d the plaintiff sued him for $40, his share of the courting expenses, and FRIDAY, APRIL 12, 1913, Outfitters for the Cradled Infant There Will be a Regular Carnival of Bargains | AT THE “LIVE STORE” Saturday and APRIL 13th.
