TELEGRAPH.

Are You Looking for..

T

Your I renewed my acquaintance at a seaside hotel with an old woman who is one of the regular visitors. Her memory is rich, strange and vocal. Ono afternoon sho talked to me for two hours, and I heard most of the stories she had told me two years before.

Thien she struck a shatter- ingly novel note by asking me what I would do now if I could afford to retire.

Instinctively

"Nothing."

I said,

And she said, "Oh, but you

She has no need of money. but, in the hands of a good manager; she might well turn her art-her darling hobby of talking-to profitable account. Students of past manners could only benefit from listening to her. Personally, I would always pay for occasional "refresher " coursen.

And hero I think I may intro- duce the book which put me on this train of thought. It is called ** Now Be Your Own Boss" (Long- mans. 78. 6d.),' and' presents 34 ways of cultivating time to pro- duce

money when you have retired. The author, Mr. T. A. Lowe, does this by interviewing

Booner or later this man dropped his book of verse on the ground, a distant expression came into his eyes, and he hushed the singer.
