HOW MABEL FOUND OUT WHAT
BREAD WAS MADE OF.

The sun was shining bright when Susan
came home from the Salons. She had been
to see Mrs. Salons daughter, who was
about her size. for Susan was eight, and
Mrs. Salons daughter, whose name was
Mabel, was one month older.
They had gotten some goods from Mrs.
Salons and were making doll clothes. or
course. they asked Mrs. Salons for the
goods, but she did not know they were
going to make doll clothes out Of it. She
gave them about three yards of brown
goods, which they made up very quickly.
When both little girls dolls were dressed
in their new dresses Mabel ran to her
mother. Mother she said, may we have
some sugar and some milk, some coffee tea
and milk bread?" Mrs. Salons said: What
do you mean by milk bread" why, l
mean said Mabel, bread made out of
milk" Why, don't you know all bread
has milk in it?' said Mrs. Salons. why.
no, indeed. thought you had water in
some bread" so you do" said Mabeps
mother We'll, give US some bread and
butter Of some sort, please"
So they had it and Susan went home

Of having heard the question; but few

outside shutters, Snap followed me to the
door and begged. in dog fashion, to be let
out.
When I did let him out he ran through
the crisp, frozen snow as fast as he could
and before I could get the shutters closed
he came tearing back with a piece, which
was at least three inches square, Of the
wished-for corn pone, and laid 1t at my
fathers feet. He then looked up into his
masters face with an air that seemed to
say: Here Is the 'pone' that you wanted!'
Father laughed and said in response to
the look and wagging tail: Il don't think
that I care for that piece, pup" The dog
stopped wagging his tail, dropped the bread
and gave a long-drawn, deep sigh, and laid
down again before the fire, looking as
though he had lost his best friend. All the
rest Of the evening he looked as though he
had been badly abused.
