+ President Wilson may be quite
willing to permit Postmaster ener.
al Burleson to recommend the pur-
chase by the Federal government OF
the telegraph and telephone lines,
but it does not follow, by any means,
that President Wilson is in favor
of any such purchase. In fact, we
feel quite certain that he is f. not,
and that he will not while he is
president permit the government to
own these lines OF communication.
1t would not be democratic to place
all the channels Of written and

THE.DIssoLuTioN OF THE TELE
PHONE AND TELEGRAPH e.
5s3y$ TRUST.

The great telegraph and telephone
com ination has voluntarily entered
into an agreement with the Depart
sSment Of Justice to unscramble, not
theoretically like some Of the trust
gdissolutions, but actually. This means
cheaper and better service. It means
traffic relations between the small in
dependent lines for long-distance
messages, because the Bell tele-
Y phone system pledges itself to make
no further attempts to establish a
monopoly.
The trusts now know that i'm
3muntty Is no longer for sale, or ex-
change for large campaign contribu-
lions. They know. that the Wilson
administration has no favorites
among any Of them. And it is
reasonable to expect a general un-
scrambling Of all the trusts in the
very near future.

cisco. 1t had Il glass conservatory at
the side and u garden with i lawn and
palm in the corner. And on rainy
nights when the wind was high and
the house was shaking / could hear
the long palm fingers tap-tapping on
my window glass. The house stood
halfway up Washington street hill, on
what was then the western skirts of
the city. and from my window under
the roof | could look down over the
whole city 70 the east water front, with
Rincon hill misty on the south and Tel
egraph bold OF the north of it. BY
leaning far out of the window, as Hal
lie and | sometimes did when a ship
wa coming in. we could see northward
as far as North beach and Alcatraz is
land, and from Abby's room across the
hall we could continue the panorama
around to Russian hill, whose high
crown cut off the Golden Gate. 1t was
a favorite game Of ours, hanging out
the window with our heads in the
palm leaves to pretend stories of what
we saw going on in the city beneath.
1t seemed to me that a city was the
most delightful and absorbing play.
thing a child could have, and 1t was a
hard. arbitrary blow of fate that took
me from 1t to the conven school at

though Halle Ferguson and Estrella

sick.
There was nothing at all interesting
at tie convent-nothing but pepper
trees and nuns black hoods and books.
Even when we walked out there were
only the dreary Santa Clara fats, with
the mountains so distant on the hori-
zon that their farawayness made me
want to cry. The only nice thing
about the convent was the vacation
that took us away --om it, back, out
of the burning summer valley to the
bay, the rows of gray faced houses,
the shipping and the wind. Each time
! came back it was with the rapture
one must feel returning to some long
left. beloved place md finding it ur-
changed.
The palm, the cypress hedges, the
sunny conservatory, the low, long
rooms beyond 1t. the dark hall and mar
row, p%recipitous stair were always
adorably the same. But around them
the city was growing with such speed
that each time / returned / had to
learn to know it afre-h. Already there
were several blocks of houses beyond
ours. and the second year l came home

dance in, and hat ball is still the most
dazzling / can remember. l wore q
rose colored tulle skirt with a peasant
waist of rose colored satin, and father,
for a great surprise, had given me a
pair Of pink silk stockings. No other
girl in town had such a beautiful thing,
and in the dressing room they would
not let me go down until / had shown
them. The lighted dancing rooms and
all the strange people and my tall part
ners made me nearly die of shyness,
but I danced two large holes in the
toes of my lovely stockings, and after
ward father leased me and said he
found he had suddenly become very
popular with the young men. He had
never been so called upon in his life.
But most of our parties were not
such elegant affairs, though sometimes
they were eve more fun, like the Fer
gusons' calico ball, where I wore my
grandmother's Bingham and prunella
shoes, or the party the Sumner Light
guards gave, which was the prettiest
of all on account of the young mems
uniforms, and the way we sat around
the little refreshment tables between
dances with our mothers and our part
ners, the band playing all the time and
every one so gey.
| sometimes went to as many as
four parties a week, so that In the
morning it was all | could do to be up
in time to see breakfast on the table.
I found out that being a housekeeper
meant more than long petticoats and
pourin- tea.
The city itself was changed to my
new horizon. 1t was larger, more COM
plicated, with more masts in the har-
Dor, new streets and horse car lines,
and every one moved about in it like
the pieces of a Chinese puzzle. The
friends who had lived close about us
had all moved westward or southwark
with the trend of the city, and be-
tween Telegraph and Chestnut street
hills there were some very fine houses.
| was often running over there to see
Halle or Estrella, and my shortest
way lay past the convent that stood a
little apart in the middle of the settle
ment. Next to it. but facing ON an
other street, was Il house which had
been built at the same time as the
convent. The convent wall came up at
its back. On the other three sides was
a high fence. Over the fence only the
upper story could be seen. and it had
a look so still and closed up that it
brought back to me that feeling of
mystery the city used to give me as a
child. But l eve noticed or Won
dered about it particularly until one
day when ] saw an open carriage wait
ing in front of the steps.

black. but instead of being dark she
was tawny. with a wonderful glow of
p p colored hair through her black
lace veil, and in all my life | had never

she. 1t was like watching a beautiful
cat. | asked Estrella Mendez who she
was. and Estrella blushed and said she
