GOING HOME FOR
VACATION

The Philathea class of the First

day. Guessing contests and music
were the features of the afternoon’s

ing year were discussed.
Refreshments of sherbet and cake

OMETTMES, the girl who Is earning her living away from home rebels
a bit at the thought of going home for vacation.
The " girls"
LIMIT OCT. 31st
ON SALE DAILY
She wants to spend her vacation with her chums.
1*^1 have gathered in her room at night and told her of the “swell” time
they have at the shore, or up In the mountains, or at the lake. They
dilate about the young men who dance attendance upon them, upon the
walks, the canoeing, the bathing, the hops; and they openly bewail the
fact that she can’t go with'them. And sometimes she agrees with them
that It !■ “mean” that ahe has to go home and miss all tits' fun. She knows
It will be “awful dull” at home, and she thinks she might do as she pleases
on her vacation.
But after the girls are gone. Instead of remaining envious and hitter
and maybe making up her mind that she will write her mother .and say
she won’t come, she should look st the situation a IttUe bit from the home
aide. Let her try to see the matter with her father’s or her mother's eyes.
It won’t be many minutes before she Is wishing she could pack up right
away and atart.
For mother Is eagerly reading every letter to see Just when her girl
Is coming. She la watching down the street or road, thinking that maybe
daughter will surprise her. She is mentally going over the cakes end
puddings and pies that her girl especially likes. She Is thinking how she
will mend up all her clothes, because the poor girl doesn't have time to half
take care of her things. Every minute of her day Is filled with thoughts of
the daughter’s homecoming. And even in her dreams at night are visions
of the same happy event.
It would he a thoughtless or a heartless girl who would disappoint
such a mother. There are not many of the plucky army of bread winners
who would do Such a thing.
Nor will the girl who goes home tor her vacation lose as much as ahe
thinks. It means a lot to walk Into such an atmosphere of love as awaits
the home-going girl. She will come back to her work better for the
renewal of home tlee. She will have none of that discontent and dis-
satisfaction that often fills the girl who comes back from some crowded
resort. Instead, knowing that the eyes of the home folks are on her, she
will be Inspired to greater efforts, ahe will have higher ambitions, she will
be keener to accomplish. And the rest she has bad, and the love with
which she has been surrounded, will make her better able physically to do
her work than If she had worn herself out with the gayety of a summer
resort.
So the girl who knows that her mother wants her to come home for
her vacation should not think she la a much abused person. Rather, she
should rejoice that she has a home and love awaiting her, and ahe should
likewise be thankful that It Is In her power to bring eo much brightness
into her mother’s life.
