And in the evening when the moon rose, "Pop" said the primrose, and there It was like a yellow star in the moonlight and the perfume of it rose and made the world an Eden, and some one you loved very dearly pinned a yellow primrose in her hair and leaned upon the gate and hummed under her breath an old song and you knew that t'he was slngng to some one very far away, and had forgotten all about you.

I wonder if there Isn't a renson for the fact that behind most of the men who have been great in this or any other country Is the memory of a garden somewhere and the smell of fresh earth newly turned. I wonder If the patience that we learned when we waited for thing to grow doesn't mean something to us In after life. A WONDERFUL I've thought sometimes that it would be a good thing for this whole nation If we could all of us go baqk a little to the old times, or at least to the ways of the old times, and live in simple houses and eat simple food and work unashamed with our own hands In simple little gardens and get back sometimes to the realities of life and make ourselves realize what is Important and what Is only a passing fancy. This war lias already done marvelous things for the people of this country. I have just crossed the continent for the thirtieth time in my life, and I never before saw so much kindness and courtesy everywhere as I have Been this time.

Strangers speak to strangers. Little courtesies are exchanged. The tired mother finds some one to help her with her brood. The old man who is going to bid his grandson good-by before he eaila for France finds a dozen ftrong young arms to help him on his way. The sweet girl who looks wistfully after the tall figure In khaki when tha train moves out of the station with what sympathy and kindly feellns every heart in the train follows- her Oh, it's a good world and the kind world and the generous, loving world today, as it never was before since the gates shut against Adam and Eve.

And somehow I can't help hoping that this Idea of the children' garden army Is going to bring something sweet and simple and good Into all our lives again. I wish I were happy six or sweet sixteen or anything In between, and I would volunteer in the children's garden army, which is going to raise vegetables for Uncle Sam before the sun went down today! the usually good service she received from her maids, anything to divert her attention from Jack's reasons for leaving.

The homely preparations took me back to the days when Mrs.

THREE TRTJSTTCE8 In the year 1853. when the town government of Oakland was organ- Ized, three town trustees were elected, fnnalnHns' nf A Ftnrrftl Marlnt i and Horace W. Carpentler, Bamuel Clark as Clerk, and James Brockelbank town constable. At this time the town had no publlo school, but a lady by the name of Mrs. Monroe had established prlyate school the corner of Second and Broadway, where those who wished to pay could have their children' educated.

At this time the entire population would not exceed' 400, about 100 white, and the balance Spanish, Mexican, Greaser anTl Indian. About one. of the) first; resolutions passed by the board was to establish a free school, and having no building for school purposes, they rented a room In what had been an old fandango building used by the Spanish residents for publlo dancing, on the northeast corner of Washington and Second streets. With half a dozen rough wooden bencheB, a board three feet square painted black mounted on two legs for a blackboard, a table for the teacher's desk, map of the world hanging on the wall with a rawhide whip hanging beside It, comprised the elaborate furniture of Oakland's first publlo school, with an attendance of about a dozen pupils. NEED HCILDIXG The first school trustee appointed "were James Lentell, John Rosa and George H.

Early in 185S thi trustees called the attention of the town trustees to the necessity of a proper building; being built for school purposes, so a meeting of the board was called to discuss the subject and Trustee Carpentler in his speech before the members stated that as there was no money in the town fund for that purpose, proposed to give to the town of Oakland a lot, build thereon a public school, a wharf at the foot of Main street, now Broad- WAV In nnnnlrl ornttnrt frr wViloli tht.

Am tha full realisation of what Jack meant te do earn to me I dashed to tha door of Mra Stewart's upstairs sitting room with a wild Idea of calling him back.

Ha must not meet my husband, even though his purpose was to send him to me. I knew Dicky's hot, quick, ungov- ernapie lemimr, mm slow rage. Dicky would totally mis understand Jack's reason for coming. I was afraid that the things my husband might say to my brother-cousin would be too much for Jack to bear.
