Join the select few who refuse to pack and rush about frenetically from place to place getting all cross and overheated and returning to work more tired than before the vacation There are two fine ways for going about a Nothing vacation both highly recommended as soothing of mind spirit and body The first is for the penniless You simply stay at home and sit quietly in your garden if the weather is fine or in an easy chair inside if it is inclement Nothing things to do outside include looking at' patterns of shadows made by leaves at different hours of the day watching grass grow (but never never cutting it) quietly drinking cool drinks treating your anatomy to the sensual pleasures of an alternating exposure to sun and shade and sort of ruminating about things but not things that are too puzzling One summer I tried thinking about "Whence come we? What are we? Whither go is not recommended It was exhausting On days which prove too hot or too cold for the outdoor approach slip into a cumfy old robe and curt up in a soft old chair inside Languish a little Reading is permissable but only if the book is entertaining and has a happy ending No deep stuff Looking at old magazines is another way to while away the happy hours And munching on things if other persons can be wheedled into bringing them to you on trays Resist all activity steadfastly to reap the greatest benefit from your Nothing vacation The proper attitude to assume is that of a person recovering from a long illness 50 weeks of work If there is a little money in the kitty there is a second Nothing vacation that is fun Check into a hotel or motel get into lounging clothes and well lounge If you have need of food or drink ring for room service The only permissable activities are reading looking at the television counting the flowers on the wallpaper or soaking in the tub This vacation in which two days are guaranteed to rest you more than two weeks of the run about type works better than the at home kind for those persons who find it difficult to do Nothing At home there too often are reminders of things crying out to be done Leaky faucets and soiled woodwork have a way of interfering with serene relaxation But in a strange place away from it all distractions are removed There is Nothing to do Unnecessary conversation should be avoided in both forms of the "retreat from it all" vacation Telephones should be uprooted their nasty little wires ripped ruthlessly from the wall such vacation or dreaming of the next will help you keep your sanity on those bad days of family crisis and office disasters of hurry hurry n2lse noise radi0 nd blaring horn of Stwlmwi

white silk brocatelle was used to fashion the blouse of the suit NEW YORK The discotheque dresses with the bouncy go go hemlines may be the designers dream of what a swinger should wear but a brief visit to several mid town and village discotheque spots showed girls were dancing in almost everything other than the flirty dresses now being manufactured for this purpose Most of the women wore short shifts slit with reckless abondon at the sides exercise suits tights jeans or regular street dresses New Home Will Be i i a In Philadelphia Men wore tight pants cotton shirts and tennis shoes The men id business suits and neckties looked quite dressy among the dancers The clothes may be dressier in the posh uptown night spots but one of Chubby assistants when asked if he thought' discotheque dresses would catch on in the fall season replied: The fashion industry has missed the boat The newest dance craze now is the Shhhh dance In this dance the man grabs his partner rushes her out on the dance floor and then they just stand there gazing into each eyes not moving and not saying a This was an appealing idea right then for the not so young and for tired twisters but the midnight crowd was still going strong with each and every strenuous version of the twist and not a disc or disco dress as they are most often called in sight Phi Mus Attend Parley FVcnn aMdl: tL Mt
