SERVICE CLUBS civic and religious organizations and' charitably inclined individuals of wealth never had a better opportunity or a more worthy incentive to do something really worth while toward the civic beautification of their home city than to right here and now organize and contribute to a popular drive for funds with which to complete the Fremont city park Already a woman's organization has donated a sizeable amount as a nucleus However the park needs an ornamental centerpiece such as a fountain or the like Or what would be more fitting than a heroic-size statue of Luther Burbank the man who put Santa Rosa on the map and kept it there for fifty years?

We've been expecting you but I didn't know you'd arrive until afternoon Your father will be so pleased" She was (blighted to think that he had recognized her and spoken and so her words rushed on trying to let the boy know she -was grateful not feeling exactly sure she was saying the right thing Judith would never have guessed that this was Arthur Knight's son He Wa8 taller than she was built slightly but with the promise that years would "fill him mit" The boy had gray eyes which had studied Judith ever since he had first seen her He wore a gray suit and overcoat and a cap ultich emphasized the boyish look about him hair wh telt was light brown and curely allowed beneath the yap Judith felt that she had been saying ton much She blushed "Do let's go in" she finished "It's cold and I'm keeping you out here freezing" The lad held the door back politely and Judith entered Harriet appeared and took the wraps All the while Arthur Junior's manner was the acme of courtesy and yet it was disturbing It WOO so formal Without nord or sign which the girl could actually define he had erected a barrier about her He was standing off and observing "Your father be home for lunch in an hour or so Judith told him "I think he'd be pleased if you would telephone him" "I did" said the boy "from the station Aly she here?"
