provides for a permanent dredge for

,uJDlc,oUs WEDDING OUT.

There has been much discussion o!
the need of wedding OUT to keep
public libraries in the highest condi'
ton OF efficiency. Much can be SAID
on both sides Of this question. moi
only as applied to libraries, but as
applied to human possessions in gen
eral. How far is 1t worth while to
preserve old rubbish" The accumu'
lations in garrets to be tolerated oo
any terms? Would it be well for ever!
household to give away at once ano
absolutely every article of clothing
or furniture or household decoration
and every toy and book as soon as the
need which prompted its acquisluoE
has passed? There are those Wh'
would say: EYES," say the Milwaukee
Wisconsin. In this age OF living IN
flats many housewives are Obliged 70
follow this rigid rule. Where people
live in roomy houses with space &c
store old things If they like, why IS II
not best that they should consult thelT
preferences, instead of following rules
devised by others? The Joy OF tu'
ture antiQuarians will be much
abridged if at the end Of every year
every family gets rid OF everything II
does not need. However, 1t is a fool
ish thing to accumulate clothing and
furniture that one can never use
again, when there are constant oppor.
tunities to minister to the comfort
of deserving poor by giving discarded
superfluities to those who can put
them to immediate use.
