Go Soak Your Head

How would Vogue readers get through the whole long summer? Last week Vogue editors offered the fruits of long and careful consideration of the thorny matter. Why don't you, advised Vogue with a determined air of contagious enthusiasm:

Soak your hair in olive oil, turban your head all one day.

Read Plato's Critias (only twelve pages) or the last ten of the Phaedo.

Change the part in your hair.

Rub your heels in the sand--hard--to make them smooth.

Write a spontaneous letter to an old friend.

Take an air bath every morning.

Learn six Shakespeare Sonnets beginning with Number 18.

Wear creamed gloves all morning occasionally.

Let the children run under the sprinkler on the lawn.

Try to figure out why you admire whom you admire.

Play Prokofiev's "Classical Symphony" over five times, if you feel like it.

Rotate your ankles twenty-five times every morning.

Wash your own hair, and brush it dry in the sun.

Make a bowl of hot, hot chili.

If the Vogue reader still experienced a twinge of boredom, Vogue implied, she was nothing but a low type who was better off playing with the cut-outs in Flair.
