BY DOROTHY DIX.

disgusted lady, who signs herself
"One Who Smiles, but Is Tired of Do
ing It," writes a letter to this column.
in which she asks why a woman is al
ways advised to meet her husband with
a glad, sweet smile and to make his
home happy for him.
She wants to know why il isn't just as
much a mans place to make a happy
home as II is a wOman's. and why ii
isn't just as much up to him to do the
grinning act as it is to her.
To which l would reply that marriage
is a game that isn't played according to
Hoyle. and that the rights of the thing
have nothing to do with the case. Fur
thermore, that a man may he every
thing on earth that is good. and sweet,
and lovely, kind and generous to his
wife, but he is never just to her.
AS a matter of equity, it is just as
much a mans place to meet his wife
with a joyous smile as it is hers to meet
him. 1t is just as much his duty to
make the home peaceful and serene as
it is hers. II is just as Disseminating
to a woman for her husband to come to
breakfast with two days stubble OF
beard on his face as II is to him for
her to appear in a frOwsy mother hub
bard and curl papers, and a stout gen.
tleman with a bay-window style Of
architecture doesn't appear any more
romantic in. a woman's eyes than a
feather-bed-loOking lady does to a man.
Why. then. should women be adjured
to keep themselves young and fascinat-
ing and to always present a smiling and
CHEEKY cOuntenance to their husbands,
while no one says word to a man
about making himself persona grata to
his wife?
Waste of Breath.
Because it would be merely a waste
of breath to offer men advice that they
wouldn't take. When a man marries he
thinks that performing that noble and
self-sacrifiCing act gives him. the right
to do as he pleases within his own baili-
wick. He considers that his supporting
the home entities him to crouch. in it
as much as he likes, and that his having
kept his wife from being an old maid
should fill her with such gratitude that
she should be willing to be on her knees
to him not matter how he treats her.
The masculine attitude toward mar
riage is. as a general thing. that of a
high god who suffers himself to be wOr-
SHIPPED. There is nothing mutual about
1t. It's the woman who must do the sa-
laaming and forehead knocking and the
general kowtowing. The most that a
man thinks can be expected of him is
for him TO be graciously pleased with
the adulation offered to him.
OF course, this isn't what a woman
anticipates when she gets married. No,

plate and garnish with clover blossoms

Teachers Don't
Hold a Mortgage
Upon Their Jobs
Superintendent Deane Elk
presses His Views on
Proposed "Merit
Svstem'

Teachers do not hold a mortgage
on their jobs were the words this
morning of Superintendent of Schools
Charles w. Deane when questioned
concerning the new merit and de-
merit" system which has just been
established bringing about a marking
and rating in the work of the grade
teachers of the city. IF teacher is
below in her averages" DR.. Deane
continued, 'she is cautioned to do
better work. Where warning is CIV
en-. and an improvement is not shown,
to drop the teacher" DR.. Deane
stated that the same system is in
vogue in most all the cities of the
country, and that it is meeting with
considera BILE success. "a good teach
err" he said, docs not fear the sys-
tenn. 1t is those who are lacking in
efficiency who are opposed to it's es-
ia adjustment"
DR.. Deane stated that the Commit
tee on Schools of the Board of Edu-
cation had been instructed by the
Board to make a change in the rules
brought into use. Recently DR.. Deane
met with Supervisors Harvey c.
Went of physical education, Mary
Jackson, art education, Cora M. Pur-
Vance. music and George K. Post,
writing, and talked over the adoption
the supervisors with the exception of
Mr.. Post did not favor the system
Some of the teachers who are object
ing to the adoption of the new rule
state that it was at Mr.. Posts sug-
gestion that the new idea was brought
about. Under the new order of
things, not only the supervisors will
have to give markings but also the
principals of schools. To this most
of the principals object. Some of the
teachers are trying to make other
members of the teaching body be-
lieve it is a move of the Board Of
Education to hold off giving the in
crease in salary to certain teachers.

New Quanette
Makes Big Hit
At Its Debut
Musical Circles Greatly In
terested in Combination
OF -Four Well Known
Musicians

Particular interest in musical cir
cles was conferred last night on the
F'oresters' Memorial exercises at Po-
IFS threatre. through the fact that
this occasion marked the first public
appearance of a new local quartet.
comprising Mrs. I'd. Martin, soprano;
Miss Norma L. Weber. contralto;
William v. Walsh, tenor, and Joseph
Weller, bass.
It was the unanimous verdict of
all who heard the music last evening
that four of the best singers of
Bridgeport have combined in a quar-
tet that is not only worthy of their
individual regulations but is sure to
make them famous throughout the
state.
The quartet is fortunate in havin.
as its accompanist such an able plan
list as Miss Mabel French, and her
work contributes in no small degree
to the success of the organization.
Mrs. Martin, Miss Weber and Miss
French all are active members of the
Wednesday Afternoon Musical club
and participate in that organizations
members recitals. The club is much
interested in their success.
The new quartet not only brings to-
gether the possesors of four remark
ably beautiful voices, but four must
clans of the highest calibre and the
result is an artistic perfection that is
indeed a treat to all music lovers.
