And I will defy you to ac- count to me on the spur of the mo- ment for the other eight hours. The Course of the Trouble To come to grips with the situation, I must choose a typical case--say a Londoner who works in an office. Now the great mistake which my typical man makes in regard to his day is 4 mistake of general attitude which vitiates two-thirds of his energies and interests. In the majority of in- stances he does not precisely feel a i never rewarded by even an extra hour 'a day. And there is no punishment.: Waste this precious commodity as you will, and the supply will never be withheld from you, You have to live on this 24 hours "of daily time. . spin health, pleasure, money, content, If one can't contrive to earns a little more, or one braces the muscles and halances the budget.

And his engines while he is engaged in his business are seldom at their ful h.p." Yet in spite of all this he persists in looking upon those hours from ten to six as "the day," to which the ten hours preceding and the six hours fol- lowing are nothing but a prologue and and epilogue. Such an attitude of course Kills his interest in the odd 16 hours, with the result that, even if he does not waste them, he does not count them; he regards them simply as margin, If a man makes two-thirds are 124 hours a day instead of 24. 1 am an impassioned reader of news- papers. Hence it is not prejudice when I say that since they are pro- duced with rapidity, to be read with rapidity, there is no place in my daily program for them. I read news- papers as I may in odd moments. As for devoting to them 80 or 40 con- secutive minutes of wonderful solitude 1 cannot possibly allow you to scatter priceless pearls of time with such Oriental lavishness. You are not the Shah of time. Let me respectfully remind you that you have no more time than I have. No newspaper reading in train! I have already "put by" about three quarters of an hour for use. Now you reach your office, And I abandon you there till six o'clock. I am aware that you have an hour in the midst of the day, less than half of which is given to eating. But I will leave you all that to spend as you choose. You may read your news- papers then. I meet you again as you emerge from your office. You are pale and tired. At any rate, your wife says you are pale, and you give her to undepstand that you are tired. You don't cat immediately on your arrival home. But in about an hour or so you feel as if you could sit up and take a little nourishment. Then you smoke, seriously; you sce friends; you potter;- you play cards; you flirt with a book; you note that old age is creep- ing on; you take a stroll; you caress the plano .

It is the realization of this profound -and neglected truth that has led me to the minute practical examination of daily time-expenditure. . Precautions Before Beginning The most important preliminary to the task of arranging one's life so that one may live fully and comfortably within one's daily budget of 24 hours is the calm reailzation of the extreme difficulty of the task, of 'the sacrifices ,and the endless effort which it de- I cannot too strongly insist on this, If you are not prepared for discouragements, if you will not be | content with 'a small result for a big effort, then do not begin.

The chief beauty about the constant waste it in advance. The next day, the next hour are lying ready for you,! never wasted a single moment in your career, Therefore no object is 'served in walting till 'next week, or' even until tomorrow. But before you begin, let .me warn you against your own ardor. Ardor is a treacherous thing. You can't satisfy it at first; il is eager to move mountains and divert the course of rivers. And then, too often, it wearies all of a sudden and dies, Beware of undertaking too much at the start. Allow for accidents. Al- low for human nature, especially your own. A glorious failure leads to nothing; a petty success may lead to a success that is not. petty. There- fore, in setting out on the immense enterprise of living fully wtihin the narrow limits of 24 hours a day, let us avoid at any cost the risk of an early failure. Now let us examine the budget of the day's time, You say your day is already full to overflowing, How! You actually spent in earning your arrange a day within a day. And this inner day, a Chinese box in a larger Chinese box, must begin at 6 p.m. and end at 10 a.m. During all these' 16 hours" he has nothing whatever to do but cultivate his body and his. soul and his fellow men. During those 1 16 hours he is free; he is not a wage- __e¢arner; he is just as good as a man with a private income. This must be his attitude. And his attitude is all important. His success in life depends on it, Full energy given to those 16 hours will assuredly increase the value of the business eight. One of the chief things which my typical man has to learn is that the mental faculties are capable of a continuous hard activity, they do not tire like an arm or a leg. All they want is change--not rest, except in sleep. In examining the typical man's method of employing the 16 hours that are entirely his, I will merely indicate things which he does which I think he ought not to do, postponing my suggestions for, "planting" the times which I shall have cleared--as a 'settler clears spaces in a forest, In justice I must say that he wastes very little time before he leaves the house in the morning, at 9.10. In too many houses he gets up at nine, breakfasts between 7.7 and 99%, and then bolts. But immediately he bangs the front door, his mental faculties, which are tireless, become idle. He "walks to the station in a condition ot mental coma. Arrived there, he us- {ually has to wait for the train. At ; hundreds of suburban stations every morning you sce men calmly strolling up and down platforms while railway | companies unblushingly rob them of { time, which is more than money. { Hundreds of thousands of hours are thus lost every day because my typical man thinks so little of time.that it has never occured to him to take quite easy precautions against the Yisk of its loss. He has a solid coin of time to spend every day--call it a sovereign. He must get change for it, and in getting change he is content to lose heavily. For that is what he does when the company robg him of five minutes twice a day. You say I am dealing with minutiw. I am. And later on I will justify my- self, Now will you kindly buy your paper and step'into the train? Tennis and the Immortal Soul You get into the morning train and you calmly give yourself up to your newspaper, Your air is the air of a leisured man, wealthy in time, of a man from some planet where there Port Perry Christmas Fair is Set for Thurs., Dec. 20. | about going to bed." last you go to bed, exhausted by the day's work. Six hours, probably "more, have gone since you left the "of fice--gone like a dream, gone like magic, unaccountably 'gone! " That is a fair sample case. But you say: "It's all very well for you to talk. A man is tired. A man must see his friends. He can't always be on the stretch." Just so. But when you arrange to go thé theater (espe- cially with a pretty woman) what happens? You spare no toil to make yourself glorious in fine raiment; vou rush back to town; you keep yourself on the stretch for four hours, if not five; you take her home; you take yourself home. You don't spend three quarters of an hour in "thinking about" going to bed. You go. Friends and fatigue have equally been forgot- * ten, and the evening has seemed ex- quisitely long (or perhaps too short)! And do you remember that time when you were persuaded to sing in the chorus of the amateur operatic society and slaved two hours every other night for three months? Can you deny that when you have something definite to look forward to at eventide, something that is to employ all your encrgy--the thought of that some- thing gives a glow and a more intense - vitality to the whole day? What I suggest is that at six o'clock you look facts in the face and admit that you are tired "(because you are not, you know), and that you arrange your evening so that it is not cut in the middle by a meal. By so doing vou will have a clear expanse of at least three hours. I do not suggest that should employ three hours every night of your life in using up your mental energy. But I do suggest that you might, for a commencement, em- ploy an hour and a half every other evening in some important and con- secutive cultivation of the mind. You will still be left with three evenings for friends, bridge, tennis, domestic scenes, odd reading, pipes, gardening, and pottering. You will still have the terrific wealth of 45 hours between 2 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. Monday. If you persevere you will soon want to pass four evenings, and perhaps five in some sustained endeavour to he genuinely alive. And you will fall out of that habit of muttering to yourself at 11.15 p.m., "time to be thinking The man who begins to go to bed 40 minutes before he opens his bedroom door is bored, that is to say, he is not living.
