Holiday Without the Family.
If the man is paterfamilias it i#
wise for him to take his holiday
alone. In the most amiable and unit-
ed families there are occasional mo-
ments of asperity. In such cases
the holiday taken alone—mitigated by
regular correspondence—is the Weal
method, good alike for pater and fa-
milias. There is no selfishness in
such a holiday.—Court Journal.
