<A cMaris Hobby 



EVERY MAN should have a hobby ; most men have, 

 and its amusing to note the enthusiasm with which 

 each man talks about his hobby. Take the man who 

 makes a hobby of his greenhouse: he may start in with 

 a fondness for flowers, plants and all sorts of growing 

 things, but with this sort of hobby there is a fascination in 

 the work which grows from day to day, and in return for 

 the small amount of time he gives it; he gets actual tan- 

 gible returns not alone in fresh blooms, and vegetables of 

 rare delicacy and flavor, but in this working with Mother 

 Earth he unconsciously breathes in a healthfulness that 

 invigorates his tired and jaded physical and mental body. 

 Of course, this speaking of the greenhouse as a hobby 

 is simply the story of what many men get out of it, but 

 there's a deal of truth running between the lines well 

 worth thinking about. Talk it over with us now.
