LONDON, March 12.-How to de-

the apparatus the sexophone, and de-
clares that with its aid he can deter.

tighten society on marriage and the
home This is what Mrs. Leslie Car

riage as being old fogeyish and ObsO-
lete, that children are a nuisance and
domestic routine a bore" and that in
these progressive times" men demand
the sparkle oReyes" and will not be
content with one woman I'm a house.
And as for woman, she is a fool II she
devOtes herself TO one man. especially
when there are such brilliant oppor-
tunities" before her.

vice, but her reputation as an actress
and as a champion Of SalOme I'm its

her opinions having any weight ex-

longs. Every sane person believes I'm
just the things she condemns. and the
vast majority of marriages are happy

American homes. Mrs. Carter simply
