Overviewccording to the authorities, the central idea of a pastime is that it is so positively agreeable that it lets time slip by unnoticed; as, to turn work into pastime. And recreation is described as that sort of play or agreeable occupation which refreshes the tired person, making him as good as new. Stamp collectors may fairly claim that their hobby serves the double purpose of a pastime and a recreation. As a pastime, it certainly makes time pass most agreeably; for the true student of the postal issues of the world, it turns work into a pastime. As a recreation, it is of such an engrossing character that it may be relied upon to afford the pleasant diversion from business worries that so many tired mental workers need nowadays.For nearly half a century it has maintained unbroken its hold as one of the most popular of all forms of relaxation, and its popularity extends to all classes and to all countries.
