LOAFING A fine ART
ACCOMPLISHMENT HARD TO ONE
NOT BORN TO 1T.
Everyone Should Set Apart Some
Time for Absolute Reiaxatlon-Is
Woman's Secret Of Peren-
nlal Youth.

Most Of us need spell of loafing
now and then, but few of US know
how to loaf Indeed l don't think
1t would be at all bad idea to hold
classes in loaf1ng all over this hus-
tling country of ours, says writer in
the Rehoboth Sunday Herald. 1t
comes 30 hard to any one who isn't
born loafer-and the born loafer
doesn't count. He exaggerates what
should be recreation. and occasion
al indulgence, into habit, thereby
spelling both life and loaf, and Incl
dentally throwing an excellent thing
into bad repute.
No one who wouldn't rather work
than loaf Is In actual need Of loaflng,
but there are really few Of US who
don't prefer working at something,
useful or useless, to doing nothing.
And he or she who loves work most
requires to learn loafing.
You can't loaf properly II you are
worrying over negected work or an
ticipated work to come. You must be-
gin to loaf in your mind first of all,
letting 1t work from inside out, until
you are loaf1ng all over. Just sitting
around and not working isn't loaflng.
have seen a woman waiting in the
reception room of an office till her
turn came to go in to the hallowed
precincts beyond, sitting there tense
with work, thrashing things over,
quivering with impatience, wearing
herself out to no purpose at all. Now,
If she had studied the art Of loafing.
she would have had fine, refreshing
half hour and enjoyed herself thor
oughly besides.
When you loaf you must be filled
with a sense Of utter peace, COM
plete escape from the least notion Of
labor of any sort, deep content In
the large leisure of the hour. No
faintest desire to make time pass"
must be allowed an entrance. Loaf
and invite your SOUL" goes the say
ing but it is rather your soul that in
vltes you. 1t takes you into the re-
gions of eternity, where time is not,
and gives you splendid idle dreams
and surrounds you with vast spaces.
What good is there in that? Hard
ly one American woman gets enough
OF 1t. We may be idle, many Of us,
but we don't know how to loaf. Yet
loafing of the right sort creates calm
OF the spirit, a composure of the body.
eminently good for us. Into our
crowded, nervous lives 1t breathes
sweetly, as might the piping of a
shepherd from vanished Already. A
spell of loafing will take the knots
and snarls out Of your nervous sys-
tenn as nothing else can. 1t will soothe
your irritability and restore your equi-
librium
A woman who cultivates the art of
loafing as one of her possessions will
be mistress Of the secret of peren-
nial youth. Even when she is work.
ing her hardest the soothing influence
of her just loafing indulgence will ex-
tend its balm over her, keeping off
the fidgets, giving her a sense of
breadth and ease
You can loaf but five minutes or
five months, according to circum-
stances and necessity. 1t isn't ques-
tion OF time, but state of being. But
acquire the power to do 1t when you
need 1t, and life will be a brighter
thing to you.

THE COTTON MARKET
Receivers Part of a Decline, but
Closes Lower.

Trading in cotton yesterday was dull
and featureless, both buyers and sellers
being uncertain and correspondingly eau
tious An early decline was partially re-
covered IN a rally about the middle OF the
day, but bearish talk and renewal OF
liquidation caused some pressure In the
late trading and the close was barely
steady. net TO 10 points down from
Wednesdays final. Ocean freight rates
on cotton from all Southern ports TO Eu-
rope have been reduced. but this does not
appear 10 have much influence toward in
creaslng business, and the slackness Of de-
mand, with the near approach OF the
ploughing season, probably accounts for
much OF the bearish sentiment. About
10. 700 bales OF January notices were issued
Yesterday uncovering no scattering long
interest Trading In January ends at
noon to-day. and the shipment OF more
than 5000 bales here from the South
seems to have eliminated any possibility
OF squeeze in that position. Southern
spot markets were generally unchanged.

THE CROP MARKETS
Wheat Gains a Little, Corn,
Oats and Coffee Lose.

The little business in wheat yesterday
was at comparatively small changes in
price. with a steady tone to the market.
Foreign political complications and do
nestle weather conditions are all against
any active speculation. and traders abroad
as we'll as here seem inclined to await
developments. The close was at a net adj
vance Of only &c. Corn lost an opening
steadiness under an increase Of offerings
and closed easy at net loss for the day
Of &c 70 '.c. oats were dull and without
feature. closing net unchanged to isc
down.
The February option in coffee broke
badly early in the day under tenders Of
Robusta coffee on February contracts. and
the drop Of IS points had an influence OF
other positions. which opened To II
points down. Brazilian offers showed 4
further decline, and the spot demand was
inactive. Final prices were % points
down for February and TO l. points
