Married and Happy

To the Editor Of the EveninD Public Ledger.
Slr-A writer In your Peoples Forum says
"a girl takes long chance nowadays in
getting married. for she may almost be sure
that after a few years her husband sees
some one he likes better and she does not
charm him as she once did.''
What was It that charmed him into mar
rying her? Perhaps It was her power OF
entertaining, or her smiling face. per-
haps he admired her neat appearance. l
have known girls who. after marriage be-
came very careless regarding their appear
nnce and soon became slaves to curl papers
and loose kimonos How anybody could
charm q man in such an appearance I fail
TO sec.
Another reason 10 that many girls do not
know how to cook and instead OF buying a
good cook book and learning, they buy thoir
dinners nt delicatessen shops When a man
marrles he does It 50 that he may enjoy the
comforts of a home, and good meals are
one OF the comforts to which he 10 entitled.

Feels Assessment Is Unjust

To the Editor Of the Epsnino Public Ledger.
sr--I have read nli the letters that have
appeared In the Peoples Forum regarding
the unJus, assessment that ~ being levied
against the home owners. and think much
good In being accomplished by this agitation

on writing and asitating until VIZ can sec

that they will rendjust assessments when
they are too high following complaint.
tut how many OF us can get away from
business to make the complaint This is
very unfair to tell US that they will not
take any recognition Of complaints by lot
ter. but will hear any one who will make
complaint In person at City Hail.
The City Hall workers have such very
short hours that II is impossible for tho
great majority OF people TO leave their work
and spend several hours making visit to
City Hall. They not only lose their time,
hut in many instances are dockcd In their
wages for the time they do not work. When
man has had his assessment raised 20 the
extent that he will have to pay many more
dollars in taxes II Is hardly likely that he
will want to stll further impoverish him
self by losing s. OF more ty n visit to City
Hall. and probably without results.
What right has this tax body to levy an
assessment about which they know not
whether It IL equitable or not, and then ex-
pect the people to come and straighten out
their errors? This IN czarism in It's worst
form. Wo property owners have our rights
which even City Hail must admit. We have
bought and paid for our properties. or at
least are paying interest on mortgaseH. so
we are absolute owners and the city has
cnly the right to ask US to pay certain
per centage of tax. the value to bc placed
on the keeping up OF our streets. "tc.,
