One Who Never Has a Holiday.
When everyone is getting ready to take a summer outing which shall be free from cares and bothers, or at any rate from the bothers they are accustomed to, we must all behold with dismay the prospect of the mother of a family whe. when she sets out, takes all her cares with her and generally collects a few extra ones by the very fact of going away. Recently a young mother, having her children and nurses with her, arrived on a salubrious mountain peak, only to succumb entirely and lie on a sofa for a fortnight. And even this unfortunate lady was spared the bother of keeping house, which is tbe fate of all those who hire other people’s country houses or who go into expensive apartments by the sea- It is safe to say that no man would set out on a holiday with the prospect in store o t, doing precisely the same kind of work which he had to do in all the other months. Mothers, indeed, should be carefully placed in comfortable inns, or on board ship, or on Inaccessible islands, there to recover at leisure from the anxieties of the rest of the year.
