The Collector ana the Poster.

The Collector and the Poster.
Anyone who has ever suffered at any
time from the mania for collecting in any
of its forms must feel it in these days
constant tax upon his powers OF self
restraint to keep his hands off of the con-
temporary poster. The posters in particular
with which some of the publishers an
nounce the new numbers of mag aZineS and
sometimes new books are a constant
temptation. Any one who has ever col
lected anything must feel that they are
too fascinating to be neglected, and that
not to gather them as they appear is a
neglect of opportunity that is almost GRIM
inal
For the solace of persons who have this
impulse and refuse to yield to it it is
pleasure to point out that, after all, the
collector is a slave TO his hobby, and the
more things he collects the more masters
he puts over himself. To be able to see
pretty things and not to be bitten with the
desire to take them home and salt them
down, even when they can be had for the
asking. is an attainment which promises
to be quite as valuable for its rarity as
to which the postage stamp mania has
gone, and the prodigious accumulations
most OF the things that ordinary collectors
acquire. When we see the awful length
of photographs which overwhelm most
contemporary families, we may surely
Justify ourselves in some stiffening OF
our resolution not to drift into the habit
of boarding even pretty things that we do
not really want. 1t is so easy to begin col
Iecting and SO unsatisfactory to stop after
one has once startedI Let us be stiff
necked-some of us, at least-and main
tain that not to be collector is dis
unetion, just as it is not to have had ones
picture in the newspaper.-Harpers S weekly.
