OBEYING YOUR HUSBAND

When Miss Jessie Wilson married Francis B. Sayre, at her request the word lobe dient' was inserted in the Pres bXterian marriage service, which does not contain the word "obey." In spite of the sweep of "feminism' and the assertion of equal privileges for women, many brides still pre- fer the old form in which they promise to obey their husbands.
 But are there any wives to- day who obey their husbands? Are there any husbands, con- sidered worthy of a place in good society, who ever issue an order of any kind to their wives? And if a man who wishes to be considered a gen tleman, may not issue a com mand to his wife, is she called on to promise to "obey'' him?
 In the enthusiastic felicity of the wedding day, the promise to 'obey" seems a fitting and su- preme mark of the confidence the bride feels in the generos- ity of her partner. But most

BEAUTY CHATS
WELL-KEPT HAIR

Haven't you seen people whose hair always looks as though it had just been carefully dressed? Of course, it is entirely a matter of personal taste as to whether or not you prefer the scrupu1ously neat or the f1y-away appearance.
 Assuming, nevertheless, that you want the poured-in-a-moId look, here are a few ways of obtaining it.
 In the first place, your hair must look glossy. Of course one way of making it glossy is to oil it, but that is often such an unpleasant process Try instead rubbing it with a piece of soft cloth, such as flannel, chamois or even cheese cloth, if it is very fine and nice. Do not give it a nasty dab with the cloth, but make a business of smoothing every hair, and polishing it thoroughly.
 Now, if your hair is inclined to be hy-away and scattering, motsten the palms of your hands with a little French bri1liantine and stroke your hair-esp peeially the ends-with it.
 Now as to the dressing of it. In putting it up, do not attempt to brush it smooth with your hair brush. In stead take your comb, and comb it neatly up. If you want to. +fs1ick'' it a little with water. If you are striving for the neat coiffure, remenn- Der these points; do not attempt to coll your nalr on top or your nead- Rather, braid it instead. Ceiling is likely to become loose and let the lit tie stray ends fly out. Always use d hair net. There is very nice kind that has a tiny. rubber band around the opening, and that fits snugly. over the head without the aid of number less small hairpins. Or else the cheaper kind, that comes six for sa quarter, will do very we'll, indeed. When I use these I tie two small, tight knots in the middle of the net, about a half inch from each other. Then I cut the net in two, making the cut between the knot In their orig ina1 state these nets are too large and unwieldy, but cut they are very nice, indeed. Do not anchor them with immense hairpins, but use the tiny invisible kind.

WARNER CARNIVAL
 OPENS WITH DANCE
Fire Department to Parade With Nearby Vamps
 Tonight.

The grand carnival and dance of the Warner Bros company fire de- partment opened in the Seaside Insti- tute last night under the most aus, picious circumstances. In the spaci- ous halls and club-rooms which had been specially decorated for the occa- sion with a profusion of bunting, cleo tric lights, and other attractive hang E1ngs. The 6renen in their natty uni- forms were everywhere in evidence making the event a happy one for the patrons and guests, and about the var ] ious rooms are booths presided over by handsome girls.
 The carnival which will extend over three more days, will include many notable events, among which will be that of a large parade to be held in conjunction with the departments of Fairfield, and the American Grapho- phone company. This parade which will be headed by the Fife and Drum Corps of the organization will form at Fairfield avenue and Broad street tonight at 7:30, will march through Elm street, down Main and counter marching will return to the Institute
 where several speeches will be made by the representative heads of the departnnts.
 Bsides the indulgence in the festivi- ties of the occasion last night, the large dance-hau was crowded to ca pacity with an array of well gowned members of the Warner Bros.' factory and their friends, and neither the tur- key-trot nor tango, within limits of decorum were barred. Speidel's or chestra furnished music until a late hour. Tonight and Monday many prizes for dancing and other features are to be awarded. It was said that neat sum was realized from the sale of tickets, candy and refreshments. Those in charge of the affair are: Prize committee-Chief J. Keppy, J. J. Northey, H. M. Spinning.

brides would be tremendously y astonished later, if the bride groom should issue anything like a command.
 Modern idealism makes the woman and the man equal P1Tt~ ners. It gives to neither the power to outvote the other, it assumes that their differences of opinion will be settled with out arbitration, and that neither party should enforce his or her will on the other.
 The words Hove, honor and obey" roll forth from the tongue. of the officiating clergy man with sonorous authority. They seem to make the cere- mony more binding, and they add a note of clinging sweet ness to the picture of the bride. But let the modern bridegroom take them as poetry rather than prose. He will find that the beguilements of feminine affec- ton have a power far more real and effective than the decora- tive scepter of authority which the clergyman handed him.

It is the man who is so extremely close in money matters that his own family would not think of asking him for presents who is usually most prod igaI in bestowing gifts elsewhere. His wife may ask authoritative1y for cash for new bonnet, aroustng in him a spirit of antagonisIn, which causes him angri1y to refuse. He is right sorry for it an hour afterward- He cashes a. check for a hundred dollars for her at his bank intending to put it at her plate at the table during din- ner time to surprise her.
 He is scarcely seated at his desk 'ere a. comely young woman requests an audience with him. She has a. very impressive manner. Her mission is to interest him in the heather Chinee. She pleads the cause so eloquently and earnestly for a small donation of cash that he is actually talked into handing the young lady a bill as his gift to the noble cause. There is so much less for his wife's bonnet but he is not call ed upon to assist the heather Chinee every day. He is hardly settled down to work over his Iedgers ere a com r1ittee of ladies is dshered into his presence. They wish to see him in the interest of the Christmas tree fund for the city waifs. They hope to engage a large hall, in which to give a turkey supper and to distribute the gifts. It means a. considerable outlay of cash. Their plan must fall through unless the public-spirited bus mess men will give money to buy the gifts for the children and of course to pay the incidental expenses. As the spokeswoman is the wife of the man who is about to tide him over a little business difficulty, he concludes it would not be diplomacy on his part to decline. Twenty-Five dollars would help, she suggests. It would be very unwise for him to make 3, demurrer. Another sum from the amount of his wife's bonnet changes hands. He no sooner settles down to business again with scowl on his face than the phone at his elbow rings.

LAURA JEAN LIBBY'S DAILY TALKS ON HEART TOPICS
 tCopyrght 1e1s by Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate,
THAT SWEET VOICE CAN ONLY
 BELONG TO A YOTTNG GTRT

That instant he recognizes it as that of the clever young lady of whom he purchases his gloves and neckties at q downtown haberdashery. She tells him of church fair at which there is a voting contest as to the most pop uIar girl who has succeeded in selling the most tickets. The fund is to be used to pay off the amount due on their library. She would be so Erate- full if he would buy a dozen tickets of her; she had just that many left. Ev- cry one she know had kindly contrib uted, she added.
 The neckties he wears are hand made by that girls delft fingers. No one else could please his fastidious taste. He could not refuse; so crush ing back a sigh he promises to send down the cash. Turning to his mail abstractedly, the first letter he picks up is from his brothers widow. She writes him a p1aintive letter, limiting that she would like to bring her large brood of children to his home for Christmas dinner. She hadn't money for that luxury at home. She was also obliged to confide in him that Tommy's toes were sticking out of his shoes. Sarah's elbow was out of her coat. It was positive shame to aI- low a tall child like Ruth to wear last years short dress, which did not begin to cover her knees, she wrote.
 
 automobile and are just crazy to stay a week with Unc, '' she Iosed. In desperate haste he called a district messenger, rushing off a 1fty-dol1ar. bill to the widow in distress to get the family a Christmas dinner at home and help their needs. By the time he reaches home he has but a two-doIlar bill in his pocket. This he hastily lays at his wife's plate, lest take wings and fly away. "Oh! it's for the new bonnet she excIaims. tIt will barely buy the shape. I'll have to put on last years trimming. I must be sat isied with it, as you can't afford to give me more.'' He draws a dozen tickets from his pocket, declaring they were sent him to distribute among his friends; but that his family comes in first. When a man is close in money matters with his family there is usu- ally excellent reason for it. A wife would have much compensation, even with a close husband, if she knew of the many instances wherein he was obliged to make gifts outside of his own family.

MISS KINGS RECITAL
Fashionable Audience Greets Young Artiste At Strat- field.-Notable Social
 Event.

The capacious ballroom in the Stratf1eld hotel was filled last even ing with members of local society who came as friends, acquaintances. or. more strangers to witness the recital of Miss Iva Ruth King of Fairfield This was the young lady's first public demonstration of her ability as a read CT and the large number of people present showed that Bridgeport was interested in the success of it's young est entertainer.
 Miss King, who is charming in voice. appearance and personality, has splen- did stage presence and this added much to the audiences. enjoyment of her work.
 The program was varied and was wide enough in it's scope to show her versatility. The lines were perfect and were delivered with spontaneity. The selections were all long and show ed that many hours of careful study must have been put into them.
 As Wee Willie Winkie," she was delightful with all her childish inno- cence. As Kettle in 'tThe Third In gredient,' she was splendid, all the accent, the easily sliding slang was there and her voice was given just the right twang to make the charac- ter real.
 In her scenes from Jeanne D'Arc, the impersonations of the different characters were truly wonderful There were the village maid and her lover, Jeanne's own lover, her irasci- ble father, and her own devout self who was always hearing 'tvoices'' in the woods and commands to save France.
 There was also a pretty little en- core piece, My Ships by Ella Wheel CT Wilcox.
 which Miss King most charmed her audience was the sScenes from Romeo and Juliet Her Romeo was roman tic yet brave. Juliet was delightfully."- naive, maidenIy and intensely dra- matic in the potion scene.
 To sum 1t all up, it is probably sufficient to say that she made each character in which she appeared, seem a living person to the audience
 Miss King Is the daughter of At torney and Mrs. CIitus King of Fair field She is well known in Bridge port where she attended High school with the class of 1912. Her class mates well remember her talent as a reader while at school She left the Class to attend the Leland Powers School of Expression of Boston.

attack upon the President for a fatl- ure to prejudge the suffrage question by giving it his approval in his mess age is another instance of the de- mand outrunning it's justification"
 She urged that the federal govern ment have nothing to do with the suffrage question; that 1t should be lief to the states. In this she was supported by MT. and Mrs. Rossiter Johnson, also of the Guidon Club of New York.
 MT. Johnson insisted that any state desiring woman suffrage was at Hb- erty to have it without any amend ment of the federal constitution or any action of Congress whatever
 Tn making any advance toward woman suffrage,'' said Mrs. Johnson, s'this government would be playing into the hands of the two forces with in the United States that desire he republics overthrow. These forces are Socialism and Mormonism. The latter introduced woman suffrage into this country while Utah was a terri tory and Socialism is responsible for every other particle of political wom- an suffrage in this country or in any other.'
