bridge table whatsoever. But any fair minded
person VIII admit that the happiness comes in
spite Of rather than because Of the bridge dis
crepancy.
For the chair of auction bridge in the Do
mestic Relations College we have been think
ing Of nominating Professor r. T. Foster. card
editor of The New York Tribune Sunday
Magazine, 'Vanity Fair" and other widely
read publications. To Professor Foster we
shall leave the personnel Of his department and
most of the details
Probably the professor will be content with
asking for only the latter two years Of the
academic career in which to operate his courses
in bridge. He would hardly care to undertake
the task Of instilling bridge table etiquette into
the soft brains of fapper freshmen and sopho~
mores We only insist that the bridge courses
shall be compulsory and co-educational. For
the rest Professor Foster can do as he chooses
The bulk of the collegiate work for the young
gentlemen will be grouped under the general
heading Household Utilities. These courses
Will attempt to fama1ize the budding hus-
band with most of the perplexing duties that
ultimately settle on his shoulders after he has
assumed the helm. In scope they will vary
from the art Of plumbing to the science of
piano tuning.
We not at all sure that plumbing
shouldn't be set aside as a distinct branch Of
study. just when man is settling down
into the comfort Of married life he usually
discovers that houses have plumbing. Even
two by four apartment has its series of
pipes and water taps. And plumbing can
cause more genuine disturbance in the bosom
Of the family than almost any other line Of
catastrophe
No young man can hope to make much Of
success as husband unless he has fairly
intimate knowledge Of first aid to the frozen
pipe Also, he should know what to do when
tne drain under the icebox gets stopped UP
or when the kitchen sink acts up and refuses
to allow any more water to pass through its
entrails. There arc professional plumbers for
these occasions, you intcrject. Theoretically

be trained in his basement duties, there
occasions when he finds it imperative to post
pone all appointment with his furnace. And
IN the same breath it may be added that the
average furnace is entirely too temperamental
to stand any delays postponemonts it is
distinctly up to the wife to step in promptly.
Accordingly we set aside an abbreviated
course for all girl students. The ideal wife,
such as the prospective university expects to
matriculate, should know thing or two
about the furnace At least, she ought to be
able to trickle down the back stairs and shut
off the drafts when it is necessary and in an
emergency wriggle couple of shoyelfus Of
fresh fuel through the furnace door. A course
meeting odd Saturdays throughout the fresh
man year could take care of these few help
ful hints to the furnace mans wife
Before the general public gets the idea that
the Domestic Relations College is to be nothing
but school for furnace tenders, we had bet
ter hasten on to some Of the more enlightened
branches of study. Just by way Of contrast
let US present the specifications for the auction
bridge department.
Next to the heating problem there is no
other item more important in married life
than the bridge question. A vast majority of
the married people we know, congenial as they
are IN most respects, fail to click it off at the
bridge table. Where the husband is something
of Milton Work at the pastime the wife is
usually the fragile player who leads away from
an ace queen and talks about the weather when
she should be taking her partner out of CON
ventional double. And, on the other hand
when the wife is a regular bridge hound and
demon for leaving the party with loot tucked
under her arm the husband is more than ant to
be that exasperating bird who bids according
to lunches" and then afterward says gayly:
Well partner, it wasn't our night, was it7'
Now, we should be the last one to insist that
people should be mated according to their
bridge playing ability. The records too plainly
sho" that many happy marriages have re
suited where there was no congcniality at the
