“The world is so full of a number of things—” Collect Yourself! I SUPPOSE we are all of us more or less collectors at heart. Take a crowd in the street; one of the first things it does is to collect. For example, there is my friend Addison Simmons, whose hobby is collecting stamps. Addison has a penchant for red two-cent stamps with a picture of George Washington on the front. Whenever he happens to see several lying on my desk, he never fails to seize one or two and paste them carefully on some letters he wants to mail. He has been a little less eager of late, however, owing to a careless habit I got into of mixing arsenic with the stickum. Mrs. Rowena Reen, on the other hand, has a reputation for collecting old books. She has one rather rare work entitled “Erp—Fug,” which formerly stood between the sixth and eighth volumes of my Britan- nia set, and is a little difficult to re- place unless I buy a whole new outfit. J. Oglethorpe Otter, next door, goes in for quaint ironwork. He has a fascinating early Twentieth Century lawn mower, which is exactly like one I used to have in my cellar before it disappeared. Neighbors are con- tinually stopping in to look at his collection of hoes and rakes, occa- sionally taking one back with them if they can prove it had their initials on the handle. And the tool box on his car is a veritable museum, except that the donors’ names are somehow never mentioned. My friend, Mrs. Fisher, has a creditable stand full of umbrellas she has picked up in various places; Frank Seedie is pretty fortunate in his assortment of lead pencils, and I have several friends at the club who have made quite a name for them- selves collecting cigarettes. For my own part, I seem to go on through life collecting friends like Corey Ford The Tug-of-War Wrigleys ts as be as Hone cd lar use of it will aid the teeth appetite anddigestion.
