TICKETS FOR UMBRELLAS

People living in Brussels find that a ticket is as good as an umbrella. They buy a ticket at a tobacconist’s shop—there are heaps of such establishments in the city—and when they are caught in a sudden shower of rain they gc into tho nearest shop and take nn umbrella in exchange for a ticket. After the rain is over, a person may bake the umbrella again to the nearest shop and leave it in place of. a ticket, which is good for another time.
