Varied are the emotions expressed by
the people congregated Id the Garden.
Watching them from the window In the
secretary's Office, which is one story
above the floor, saw a woman suddenly
leave the lunch she was preparing for
herself and several children and rush
across the pen with arms outstretched
aEI mouth wide Open in an exaggerated
expression of joy. she ran full tilt into
the embrace of man who had Just en-
tered, and they Rugged and kissed each
other. and danced up and down extrava-
gantlv for three minutes. The children
came fiocking about, some little shyiy,
as il they were only slightly acquainted
with the stranger, or were only distant
relatives. He gave them all hearty pa
ternal greetings, and they returned to
the lunch and ate together. 1t were easy
enough to build up pretty romance
about that scene, or about the young
couple in another pen who sat with their
lrms about each others waists and
smiled and smiled.

and violent weeping from people in a
room adjoining the reception hall, il the
rough garden can be so dignified? Sim

thought they were coming to country
