If you can lie on the beach and sing to the sunset without shirking your duties, do it,” he advises. Professor Pitkin is a writer of fiction, and he says that he gets his most original plots when he is apparently thinking of nothing. iS Robert Louis Stevenson spoke in the same vein when he ote his “Apology for Idlers. are always too busy to give themselves any time for relaza- tion—who feel that they must neglect everything else in the universe for the sake of their business, Stevenson says: “As if a man’s soul were not too small to begin with, they have dwarfed and narrowed theirs by a life of all work and no play. Idleness or laziness then, is only a faculty of being able to appreciate all sides of life. A man whose mind is habi' ) ne with thoughts of work will never know the beauty of the umming bird's feathers; he will never a: ciate the big- ness of the spaces beyond the eyes of man; he will never feel the joy of the idler who watches the flight of the seagulls, joys which are for those whom In speaking of those who tually and continuously occu- the world terms idle, The book of life contains ag Fg om There are many oe eee: ene book. ink we have finished The idler is a curious individual; he is also a generous one.

Run away? In the name of honor, I couldn't stand in the doorway very long. I must make my presence known. My heart almost stopped beating as I imagined the insinuating nearness to Bob which Katherine Miller had had in her mind to achieve when she turned off the electricity. At best, be fair to generous, I such a bit of spooning would last only half a minute—and the girl had risked a good deal to get it.
