even that may not be without its inter-
est and value. Many an overworked pro-
fessional and business man has been
saved from nervous prostration and has
found the needed relaxation to his mind
by being the fortunate possessor OF a
hobby in the pursuit of which business
troubles and other worries vanish as by
magic. Where would large part OF the
fine collections in our museums and Ii
braries be if they had not been gathered
by some one with hobby? 1t is a sin

various lines of public and social life.
Many a bibliophile who has stealthily

agree with the statement that the women
folk as rule have looked with hostile
ewes on the vagaries of their husbands
And in this connection 1t is interesting
to recall what Richard de Bury. Bishop
of Durham in 1888. has to say about the
attitude of women toward collectors in
his Philobiblon, the earliest treatise on
the love of books, when in the lament Of
the books he makes them say:
This creature spies us out in a corner
hiding behind some ancient cabinet and
she wrinkles her forehead and laughs us
to scorn, and points to US as the only
rubbish in the house, and she complains
that we are totally useless and recon-
mends our being bartered away at once

purple stuffs, for wooden and
