Don't Take Yourself Along
T is not enough just to go for a holiday physically, we must also travel mentally, leaving, behind our old repressed, or self-centred selves, and taking on a holiday mood. The following shrewd comment on how useless holidays and travel are, to the selfcentred woman, is attributed to a negro laundress, Speaking of one of her employees who was always giving herself holidays, she said, "I dunno why that woman is always going somewheres-she always have to take herself along.’"’ Those who, when they take a holiday, always take themselves along, and talk about themselves, and fuss about themselves, or indulge themselves by taking offence or demanding better service than the next one, might almost just as’ well stay at home, They make very poor fellow-holidaymakers, and not only ruin their own vacations, but they do a good deal to ruin the holidays of others.-(A.C.E. Talk, "Making the Most of Your Holiday," 1YA, November 17).
