CO-ED (Continued from page 20) books and through the museums. Single out a period or an individual artist that interests you, and learn all there is to know about it or him. Or start delving into music, either long-hair or crew-cut. Read a good introduction to music, or any of the excellent volumes on the history of jazz. Again, single out some phase that particularly enchants you and concentrate on that. Follow the newspapers for news of concerts, either in concert halls, out of doors or on the radio. The public library has books on all the above subjects. Lastly, let's look to your social life. Is the old gang drifting apart? The town dead on its feet? Why not initiate weekly square dances and start things buzzing again? Is there a recreation hall or clubroom where you could have 'em? You'll need space. Get some square dance records and a book about how they're done, and you're set. How about a group of you taking some all day bike rides to near-by points of interest? Make your beach parties more wonderful than ever by the simple addition of the right equipment. Quoits, a bat and softball, a songbook for the inevitable songfest, beach blankets, good food and thermoses of icy cold drinks. You're A Business Gal: Your idea of a vacation is probably one elegant round of fun at a gay summer place. The sort of two weeks from which you return a sunburned shadow of yourself. May we make a couple of suggestions? This year, let your vacation be a subtle blend of gadding, exercise and rest. Let these two weeks be a sort of taking-stock period. An opportunity to sit down and relax and see where you're going. Think about whether you really like your job, your beau, your hairdo, the way you spend your leisure, and if you find you're not quite satisfied, plot the changes. If you go away, take up a sport that you can keep up all the year round, like horseback riding, swimming or bowling. If you stay at home, plunge into those night classes in Russian or furniture refinishing or dancing that you've always longed to start. Soak up sun, sleep and good food, and a little moonlight and you'll go back to the office refreshed. If You're A Young Mom: For you there is very likely to be no honest-to-goodness summer holiday, but you can learn to vacation as you go. When the kids are napping, snatch an hour in a big chair under a tree, or collapse in the tub with a magazine, or turn the radio to soft music and flop on the couch. Let the house go when the day is just too beautiful, and get out of doors in a sun suit. Get in the picnic habit, with paper plates and cups changing meal times from battles into parties. If you and your pals haven't tried pooling your children, you really should. One or two gals can take on the whole gang once a week while the other mothers scoot into town, or take a tennis lesson or do some volunteer work at the hospital. It's a nice, inexpensive way to get a couple of days off, and the kids love it, too. AUTOGRAPHS! Stage door Johnny? Do your star chasin' in your easy chair.
