THE EVENING SMILE.
MANNERS IN SECOND PLACE.

When Miss Violet Robinson, COL
ored teacher in Mobile. was invited by
Mrs. Carver. the mother of two OF
her pupils. TO stay and have dinner
with the family, she accepted with no
anticipation OF what was before her.
Mr.. Ciarver hung far over his plate,
and seemed engaged in a race against
time and labor as he lifted knifeloads
Of viands 10 his. mouth. His wife and
children were not much outdone.
The teacher was not one TO keep
her thoughts from her face, and Mrs.
Carver looked at her first with dis
tress and then with growing wrath as
she. felt the need Of coming TO her
mails defense.
Finally she leaned across the table
toward her guest. and pounded heavily

And the baby wants TO cram
Just a little IN between EN-,
And declares it with a cry.
Then ! want TO contravene 'em,
Let her eat her flll," say l.
oh, / know the rules OF science,
And its edicts just and terse,
And i bow III meek compliance
To the doctor and the nurse,
1t is wise. there's no denying,
To be thoughtful in her care;
But when hunger starts her crying
/ would feed her, then and there.
Now they tell me that baby
Cries TO get her exercise,
And I must admit that maybe
Infant science very wise,
But when she is exercising
For a full straight hour or more,
And her yells are louder rising,
Then it's time to walk the floor.
Oh, they tell me ] must never
Swing her gently TO and fro,
Or I'll be her slave forever
And she'll keep me on the go.
Now they seldom let me hold her,
For they're fearful as can be
That I'll ride her on nay shoulder
Or will bounce her on my knee.

! And bouncing dad am /,
! I'm old-fashioned, and I'd rather
Take her up than let her cry.

Though they tell me it's unwise,
ITo do something when she's yelling
And 10 feed her when she cries.

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT.

Tho Sussex journal of Georgetown
calls the attention of the people Of
Delaware, especially the taxpaying
women and men. TO the following inn
portant facts:
Tho cost of State admlnistra-
ton in Delaware for the year 1855
was s2ss.ooo The cost OF State
administration in Delaware for
the year 1922 will he $4,000 600.
Here is an enormous increase in the
cost ~ administration in thirty-four
years. IL requires no detailed pre-
scntation Of figures to show that IL is
entirely out OF proportion 20 the
growth and advancement Of the State
during that period. both in business
and population. especially the lat
ter. Even eursory reflection should
impress the individual citizen with the
startling manner in which the In
creased cos, per capita has been piled
up.
Two item. OF marked increase
for special purposes. with practical
results--althoueh whether the results
are fun compensation for the cost
may be a doubtful matter--will be
admitted: Improved roads and an i'm
proved system Of education. In all
other respects the increases are en-
tirciy unwarranted. And even IN the
matters 81 improved roads and i'm
proved facilities for education the
charge Of extravaganza and reckless
expenditure is not lacking.
In truth. our State administration
has become .hockinely extravagant.
Lot any ob~ervant citizen take a trip

da,ions that are provided for State
officials, and then compare them with
the modest quarters that proved suf-
nclcnt up TO score OF years ago
And even these enlarged quarters are
not suff,c!en, for the enlarged num-
Der OF employees. as some OF the State
officials have resorted 20 expensive
