~ It is one of those marital
faults that are much more try
ing, in the daily encounter of
matrimony, than much more
serious failings. Smugness is
disagreeable in anyone, but
when a wife knows that it is al
ways lying in wait for her, and
when she also knows that there
is some justification for the
hoier-than-thou attitude in her
spouse, then her path is hard in
deed.
Ruth, whose letter reaches
me this week, is suffering
from the smugness of The
man she married some ten
years ago, and I don't know
that there's any cure for it. For il
is the very essence of smugness that
it rises above correction and criti-
cism and only feels sorry for the
person stupid enough to find fault
with perfection.
This is part Of Ruth's letter:
Dear Mrs. Norris: My father was
a factory hand and my mother kept
boarders. After three years of high
school I went into box factory,
helping to support three small half
brothers. My father had died and
my mother married again. When
was about 10 I had a girl chum
named Mabel, and her brother and
her sweetheart and I used to go
around together for two years. Ches-
ter, the brother, was fascinating
sort of fellow; we used to go up to a
little cabin in the mountains, we
girls cooking the dinner, and all of
us taking tramps, swimming, and
having fun. Mabel and Bud were
lovers and Chester and I, very much
In love, were not long in following
suit.
Enters College at %.
"After about a year of this he
went away, and fail invalided my
mother, who fingered completely
helpless for seven years. I took
over the clearinghouse, and was
presently offered a hotel in town,
to which we all moved. at %, when
my brothers were pretty well
launched, an aunt of theirs left us
some money to complete our educa-
tons, and / was delighted to take
coaching, and to enter college with
girls 10 years younger.
''This was happy time for me. I
met my husband, who was, and is,
a professor of English, and the year
we were married I sold three short
stories-for very small sums, but
it was a great thrill to me. OF late
years have had little time to write,
as we have three children and ! do
all my own work, but I have al
ways hoped that the time would
come when I could go on.
Some months ago I noticed a
change in Phil, my husband, that I

older than I, which makes him 81.
He grew excitable, moody, explo-
sive, silent. He has always been a
serene man, a church-goer, ideal
istic and really faultless. His devo-
ton to the children is remarkable,
and he has always seen that they
help me as much as small children
can.
Husbands Suspicious Aroused.
Zone day / had call from Ches-
ter's brother, who as a young boy
had sometimes been with us on our
expeditions. I had not heard of any
of them for years and believe me
he was an unwelcome reminder of
what I would have been glad to for
get. He said that he was worried
because he had met my husband
and made some reference to me, as
a girl. He said that he had had no
idea that had left the box factory
days behind me and was married

rigid with anger at the injustice of
the whole thing. You don't have

she told the superintendent. Her
chin went up, her black eyes sparkled
with anger. II think that a
teacher should be able to have q
private life of her own without a
lot Of mean, prying, little people
watching every move she makes and
criticizing her! If I want to dance
in night club, I will! If I want to
60 to the Golden Parrot, I will! And
with whom I pleased"
Some one gasped audibly. The su-
perintendent turned a dull, purplish
red and waved the flstful of letters
at Janet as the others shrank back
in their seats. Not If I get any
more letters like this, you won't
and keep your job!" he shouted.
Young woman, even If Mr.. Carvel
did get the board to hire you, I'm
still superintendent, and If you don't
act in a way becoming a teacher,
I'll throw you out!"
The room was breathless with
suspense.
But" Janet said incredulously
after a moment, "why-why should
any one want to criticize me when
haven't done anything-wrong?"
The superintendent recovered his
poise. We'll discuss the whole
thing privately, Miss Storm. Come
to my Office Monday. please. I
think we're all too upset to carry
on any further business-now. Will
some one make a motion for ad-
journment?"
Stephen Calls on Janet.
The moment the meeting was over
she rushed out. blindly. in spite Of
the fact that Stephen had obviously
wanted to speak to her. This was
what he and Miss Mills had warned
her about. But the letters and the
stares of the other teachers had
been bad enough; she couldn't bear
anything else
She was relieved that the follow
ing day was Saturday so that she
wouldn't have to face any one. All
day she tried to fasten her atten-
ton to something, a bit of mending,
a new magazine she'd been intend
ing to read, but she'd find herself
without being conscious Of it, walk
ing feverishly back and forth in
the small living room, wondering
who had written the letters and
why.
1t was 4 o'clock in the afternoon
when. as she paused before her win
dow facing the street, she saw
Stephen Malone coming along the
walk. She heard her landlady an
swer the door and say, First door to
the right"
When he knocked she stood for q
moment, hand to her throat, unable
to speak, unable to move. He'd come
to rebuke her. of course, for the
fierce way she'd struck back at the
superintendent.
She steeled herself then and flung
open the door. He merely smiled at
her. that slow.gentle smile she knew
so we'll.
II wanted to see you," he said.
Come in"
She pressed her lips together
tightly to keep them from trembling
and raised her chin as he stepped
inside. He seemed to fill the room
and he brought fresh, clean smell
of the cold air with him. He stood
there uneasily for a few moments
fumbling with his hat and waiting
for her to ask him to sit down.
There was nothing else to do, of
course, since he stood there so pa
tiently. Wont you sit down." she
said tonelessly. She turned her back

some foundation for them, even at
that" He went on reading.
When he had finished reading
the last one there was a strained
silence in the room. Stephen. sitting
next to Miss Mills, was very preoc-
cupied and sober. Miss Mills got
to her feet at last.
Il think it's outrageous" she ex-
claimed, that any one would send
an anonymous letter like that. And,
anyway, there isn't any teacher
among us that-deserves criticism of
that sort" She sat down again,
twisting her hands nervously.
The superintendent cleared his
throat and then he looked straight
at Janet Storm. I'm afraid he
said reluctantly, that there is. Miss
Storm, you're new teacher here.
and I don't think you understand
how the folks in Drillford feel about
their teachers"
Janet gazed at him in stunned
amazement.
Perhaps" he continued, "you
mean no harm by going to such
places of amusement as the Golden
Parrot. I'm sure you don't. But
the fact remains"
Stephen Defends Janet.
"Mr. Superintendent" Stephen
had come to his feet, his great
shoulders hunched forward as he
rested his hands on the edge of
desk. Yesterday Miss Storm
proved, by the loving votes of the
student body, that"

Since the subject of tn bill is one in which the citizens of Ala ska are vi = tally interest ed, Delegate Dimond has asked that com mittees of the House and Senate defer action on it until resident of the Territ ory have had ample opportunity to be heard in the matter.
 As MT. He11entha1 says in his book, "The Alaska Me1odrama" ."Even to this day, there are otherwi SC sensible people who believe that future general ons would come i'm to a barren and depleted world if the people of AL aska were permitted to develop the re sources of the land in which they 1ive."
 The MINER suggest s that Delegate Dimond int reduce a bill which would be an exact replica of this bill but leaving out of it all refernce to Alas ska.
