What One Married Woman Confessed to the Conduc tor of This Column One Afternoon When Under The Influence of sThree Cups of Orange Pekoe Tea, In the Tenth Year of What Seems Outwardly to Be a Peaceful Married Life. (Tble In Connecticut avenue tes.room, Stated facing one another on opposite sides of the. table are two women. One talks, the othr listens. Talker leans forward eagerly, wtchlng from time to time to see that In, her arness she doa not put her arm 'In her tea cup. Anon she looks about her. hunches hr shoulders, and towers her voice. Sort lights.) Tilker (Referring to past conversation of Listener.) 0,11, I don't know but what you are happier as you are. I'vo been married ton years now. You think I am per fectly happy with my husband? Well. Vt not. I havo the strnnKest wish to cream In his ace sometimes or Jump at him and strange him. (She looks mildly down at her cup of tea and stirs It reflectively. Listener tries not to look horrified, and asks soothingly just why mnfder Is Contemplated. Talker looks up aafl laughs as sh answers.) It does aeem silly now. out In broad day lint, but It Is his little annoying habits. He) comes in to breakfast, neat, splc, and span, opens his paper, props It Up against the sugar bowl, and then begins chewing methodically. Ton know he fletchcrlz.es! Yes. And at about the fourth mouthful I want to scream. He grabs his work with a sort of overhand clutch that I never could tolerate. He won't change. He never speaks during breakfast, only short sentences, once In a while. (The Talker has almost forgot to .watch hsf sleeve. It hovers over the tea cup, then la retrieved In time.) ' ' Then there's his conversation. He shames' me Intolerably. All of the other men In a room will be getting along well enough. But It Is always my hits bud who has to start something going that breaks up the talk. He always talks and talks and talks until X nparly die of embarrassment. (The sleeve hovers over the lea-cup. the Listener fears to break the spell and watches It sink contentedly Into the tea The Talker Is now fairly bubbling with excitement and praeeede rough shod.) And then If by chance somebody cite does manage to elbow Into the conver sation he just alts with his finger rained, arid his mouth open ready to hotn In whenever the other men stop to puff their edgars, to take a drink of water, or breathe. I hate him. (A long silence ensues, during which time the truant sleet e ts salt aged from the tea, and the heat' of the hammer cools. At last th Talker looks up shamefacedly. She speaks.) Ho's a good old thing though. That feeling Just vanishes like thin air after a 'while. The other night when wo started out to the movies after dinner he looked at mo and laughed, and said, 'trow about a hat?' and I Just went to him am) put my arms around his neck, and my lovo for him Just came over me art of wave-like, and I told him I wanted a black velvet one. I don't suppose I really hate him. He's a good old thing. Only I wish he -wouldn't bo so samey all the time! CUUTAIN. TttoHghts On Being Uplifted-By the Opera. Oh. yes, I'm an uplifted guy. To culture's ways resigned. I 'feel that I may safely add I've grown a, highbrow mind. P"Dr two whole weeks, for twelve loud nights. And four lon'g matinees, I've sat and listened to the things Those music critics praise. Now, there was Lohengrin, a knight Who wore tin Dnnts from nreferenpn And made the others fall down faint Frqm roverentlal deference. I can't glvo him much. Elsa tried To henpeck llko a woman may; Then Lohengrin got peeved and took His little swan and swam away. , And Hlgoletto, with a hump. He Idolized his only daughter, And Ollda. like a little simp. Forgot the things her pa had taught her. They killed her In a canvas bag, M.vl that soprano scrunched up nicely. I don't sec how she did It, still They sang about It, onccly, twlccly. These girls don't know Just what they want. Take that Ryetallan Malirlla, Who mado hqr beau still rings nnd things. Then left him for another fclln. And Lucia 1 don't get that dame. First flopping like n fading flower, Then perking up and going mad, And tootling for ono good half hour. I must say that one girl had nerve And Leonora was her name Her beau was doomed, but, llko a sport, She went on singing Just tho same. Hut when It comes to having grit. That little Chink comes first, 1 swear. How sweet of her to leave tho kid. While she passed up with silent prayer. Oh, yes, I am uplifted now. Puccini? Sure. Tho best that grew.

Poor old abused housework! Although thug with lofty scorn Arnold Ilonnettwas speaking of the home-loving women of the Five Towns (wo hope Mrs. Arnold D. contrived to give him burnt muffins the day she read It), still we must con fess It Is only tvplcal of what womi themselves are saying. For with all the, Interest rampant nowadays In housowork It cannot bo denied that It Is not so muoh how brat to do It as how best to. get out of doInK It. In fact, .the real femlnlno hero of the hour ts not she who most Admirably and efficiently performs It; rather the woman, professional or otherwise, who successfully manuges to do It by proxy, who would have us believe that her own part Is solely a matter of magic weekly m'nutca or seconds! but now here Is a woman who comes out boldly In print to say that ano doesn't regard such a woman who boards herself out to a professional housekeeper In her own home as roally housekeeping at all. She merely has an Individual boarding house of her own, ev.on If she Is the star bdardcr! In fact, Mrs. Tryon delightfully takes up the cudgels for the home-loving woman with uch originality and charm thut wp qgoto at length from her book, suro to come as mental salvo to poor sisters who: all because they weakly dare to prefer housework, are accustomed to hear themsolves yanked and trounced about by verbal assault In print and out of it. Moreover, Mrs. Tryon even claim that housekeeping Is gainful (oh, no, not In dollars and cents, the measuring scales for the nonce arc not those of the almighty pay envelope, but gainful Just tho same; for the woman who in dulges herself In It In an enriched life, ethical qualities and in "leisure to net on speaking terms with her own mind." Secret of the Book. (Wherein may lie the secret of this little book, "Speaking of Home." If Mrs. Tron was out In the world all day Instead ot at homo as Mrs Win throp Pitt Tryort at 10 Avon place, Cambridge, she might be saying with tho rest of us that housekeeping is only 10 dc loiermru wnrn u is squeezed In as rt trivial episode of our day. Still. wo doubt It. There Is too much origi nality In her thinking.

' "Happy is the modern woman whose study and reflection, far from being a mere selfish indulgence, is part of her housewifely duty." Mrs. Lillian Tryon, in Speaking of Housework. make It Impossible for them to do any," says Mrs. Tryon. "Yet why can I not say that I find housekeeping the most varied of occupations, tho most human of trades, the most absorbing of pur suits? That docs not mean I spring to the dlahpan with tho xcal of an en thusiast, nor do I sing paeans of Joy at the prospect of a morning's baking." There Is drudgery, she confesses, In every profession, and yet If she must drudge, she adds, "let me drudge with my own things, for my own family, In my own way." Champions Housework. Singularly enough, It Is In the elimi nation of drudgery by new household apparatus rather than In the actual work that Mrs. Tryon sees the source of the average woman's rebellion against housework. "She has deduced from these helps a gospel of evasion. If she can be spared some of tho actual toll of housowork,' she asks herself, 'why not all of It?' " They say that housekeeping Is a stay-at-home profession. Well, and If It Is, there are those of us who live to stay at homo. Instead of "feeling out of things," as many women complain they do nt home, Mrs. Tryon thinks -It Is pleasant to live In an environ men of one's own making: to work amid quiet surroundings: to care for the sights that greet the eye when one stops to look." It Isn't that Mry. Tryon Is In the least antagonistic, nlthough this may un fairly be making her appear so. hat Impelled hor to wrlto her Utile book was that the domestic woman was entitled to havo her little say. She sees no reason why he should be ashamed or "preferring tho work that Is direct and personal to a bigger work and possibly a posthumous appreciation.

Mrs. Tron even likes the planning of menus; she sees It as an exacting Intellectual task, that of planning meals economical, digestible, combining specific food values, using up certain remnants agreeably, tempting varying appetites, all within tho bounds of a certain cost. "Much learning used to Impose on the housewife. Now, having some knowl edge horself, she views It no more worthy of honor than a trait that makes people more Interesting and reliable to live with." Indeed, It Is because as A nation we are prone to overestimate their brain power that Mrs. Tryon In the heart of literary Cambridge makes hct plea for the ethical qualities. Shush! It's Rhythmic. She even claims that there Is an underlying rhythmic quality to house work Jhat. however, unconsciously It Is felt Is what often makes It so soothing to a woman when fatigued from another type of work.
