Down in town you would have passed it by pos sibly, with only a mental note. Bui here it stands out hi a set ting, for the most part, of dis ordered wreckage. First,, I wonder why the location was selected. No answer. .' Or can It be that these ybung people had In their dream only the little nest they were to build, regardless of tha setting. Or, did they propose to show by contrast, that home is not, merely a house. Regardless of these conjectures, they built a house, then little by little the home -developed. The house was painted in subdued, harmonious colors. A porcl in front with some lattice work in green, a row of ro.ses along1 front and , tide; a few shrubs and an nuals, placed with rare art, adorn the front. .' ' Th rear of the small lot is en closed with a neat fence of wire netting. Several varieties of ber ries are, growing in neatly: kept raws; a small house where a few hens are kept. As time passed and. perhaps, resources Increased, a small gar age was erected in which was in--stalled a car; riot a high priced one either. I never saw it look other than well kept. Just a short time ago poles were raised and wires connected, clearly Indicating the Installation of a radio set. riutl what of the people who have accomplished this? I know very little. Their name even is unknown to me. There is reason to believe the young man works downtown, possibly at the sawmill Some three, years - ago he must have been in an accident. For a longr time he was about "vlth a bandaged arm. Often I saw him walking among his berry vines doing what he could with one hand. ! lie seemed : ill at ease, no doubt with the thought that one. so strong should be thus disabled. ness and the fitness of things. Whether-iabout her household du ties, or at work with flowers, or what not, she is always the same. Also, there is the little, fairy like girl of five or six years, usually in white, always Im maculate. So reserved is she that rarely have -I received a shy wave of the. hand in recognition of my .own. . Why all of this about three people and a house? Isn't it the common rule of life? Is it? I have meditated and attempted to moralize. Is it? r This home is in Salem.
