Gorging Oneself With Sight-Seeing.

A blunt old doctor told a patient who was starting out on a long foreign tour: “Madam, take it easy.” Would you eat up everything on your table Just because it might be wasted? It is Just as gluttonous to gorge yourself with sight-seeing. Many things cause this injudicious traveling. Women love to get the most for their money. If they are traveling with a conducted tour they feel ae if they should have a rebate if they miss one item on the Itinerary. The ordinary tourist is so anxious to Improve her mind that she feels bound to take in every notable sight she may have heard mentioned In an extensive! reading. It takes courage to be a discriminating traveler, but It fa really the only way to travel —but the dread of missing something has caused many a nervous breakdown and an unsatisfactory vacation. It could so easily have been avoided by common sense and a less greedy mind. As only a certain amount of impressions- can be retained, why not pick and choose.
