SALT AND SUGAR BAGS.

Mr.. Brown Learns Something About
Their Household Uses.
Say, mother" said Letitia Brown,
I'VE won't have any more salt bags

Brown to himself, having by chance
overheard Letitia's remark. 1t took
but little questioning to bring out In
formation on these points, and incl
dentally there was elected other bag
Information, which, to Mr.. Brown, was
even more interesting.
Salt bags, it seems, are, in many
households, when empty, washed out
and used as dish cloths. But the
Brown family has given up housekeep-
ing and gone to boarding; it retains
Its apartment, just the same, but takes
Its meals In neighboring good board.
ing house. So naturally, they wouldn't
be buying any more salt.
Then Mrs. Brown said that, any.
how, they hadn't been using salt bags
for some time, because lately, while
salt Is still put up in bags, they had
been buying salt put up in wooden
Or in pasteboard boxes. They'd been
making their dish cloths lately, she
said, out Of sugar bags. Sugar, II
appears, once never so put up, is now
quite commonly sold In bags.
Casually, Mrs. Brown mentioned an.
other use Of salt bags that was new
even 10 Letitia, who knew something
about salt bags. Mrs. Brown said that
once they had servant who used to
take the salt bags when they were
emptied and open them out and wash
the marks out of them, and then fol
economy's sake have them for hand
kerchiefs for her little brother.
And yet there remained the fact
mildly bewailed by Letitia, that there
would be mo more salt bags" for dist
cloths Here Mr.. Brown wanted tt
say to Lefty, "Well, what Of it? No
housekeeping any more, we shan't have
any dishes to wash and we shan't wan,
any dish cloths, salt ba or sugal
bag" But he didn't say these things
for he didn't want to hurt Letitia's
feelings by showing her how little sh,
looked ahead, nor did he want to make
her feel worse by showing her how
much more logical his mind. He sale
nothing, but just kept these things t.
himself, but not without his usual mod
