And it was all on account of her having made an unwise selection in her form of a vacation. ‘The secret of a beneficial vacation is to do just the opposite of what you do all the year around. Do you lead a sedentary life. Then your summer vacation should be one of activity and vice versa. If this woman, who, by the way, does typewriting and other office work all the year around, had gone camping in the woods with a few jolly wirls or had spent two weeks at a mountain resort among congenial people, she would have returned per- fectly refreshed—that is, if she had eschewed reading and just spent her time in playing tennis or golf and in having a glorious good time. The idea of a vacation is to get rested and this does not necessarily mean to go Into the country and do nothing but read. A vacation should be planned in accordance with the vocation.
