L59-2: Collecting
Some things arecollected deliberately in the home in an attempt to avoid waste. Among these Iwould list string and brown paper, kept by thrifty people when a parcel hasbeen opened, to save buying these two requisites. Collecting small items caneasily become a mania. I know someone who always cuts sketches out fromnewspapers of model clothes that she would like to buy if she had the money. Asshe is not rich, the chances that she will ever be able to afford suchpurchases are remote; but she is never sufficiently strong-minded to be able tostop the practice. It is a harmless habit, but it litters up her desk to suchan extent that every time she opens it, loose bits of paper fall out in everydirection. Collecting as a serious hobby is quite different and has manyadvantages. It provides relaxation for leisure hours, as just looking at one's treasuresis always a joy. One does not have to go outside for amusement, since thecollection is housed at home.
