that we did some work for the Warren
estate some years since"
Bruce remembered. General Warren,
a wealthy man with half a dozen coun-
try seats, took the within to occupy the
old family manse enthusiastically.
Bruce had sketched some garden pa
CODA work, on verbal order. some seven
years previously. He recalled the time
with a pleasant sensation. The gem
eral, world-weary and blase, had come
to the Office with his daughter, Hello
Use, a tall, dark beauty, stately In her
manner, but gracious in her bearing.
While her father was Indifferent as to
architectural details, Miss Warren had
a love of art, and for nearly two hours
Bruce and she had passed a very
harmonious time, selecting the lines of
style and detail to be followed out In
the construction of the pagodas.
Queer thing here. Mr.. Bruce" said
Artingstall. miss Warren has writ
ter affection of Mr.. Bruce, please so
she seems to want you and no one
else"
Bruce blusned with both embarrass-
ment and pleasure. 1t was gratifying
to consider that, after all these years,
a lady should recall his past services
and v e remember his name.

shat the general is dead. OF course,
his daughter is his heiress. She is a
little past girlhood, as you know, a
young lady more given to study and
a quiet life than social follies. Very
c~ommendable, that. The estate, /

by artificial boundaries. The effect of Intolerance,
worst in Greece, bad enough everywhere, was to
drive out of each nation all who belonged to the
wrong language or religion. l do not say race, for
they are all of the same general stock, even the
bulk of the Turks" and Greeks. This has filled
the region with refugees, men and women whose
fault is that they lived on the wrong side of the
boundaries made for them in the treaty of
Bucharest.
Passing down the long highway which leads over
200 miles from Sofia to Samokov and Dubnitza in
old Bulgaria, then across the border of Macedonia,
down the Struma river past DZumaia to Petritch,
we found everywhere the Bulgarian refugees from
the Saloniki district in Greek Macedonia. These
have been roughly estimated at $4,000 in number.
Some of these have been given farms or houses
abandoned in Macedonia by Turks who followed
the Turkish army away. Others received farms
left by Greeks when the Greek army went back
after the treaty of Bucharest. The government
grants each person some f%ourpence a day. Some
find work, but after the war there are few employ
ers. The cost of living has doubled, the means of
living has fallen. At Petritch, near the present
boundary of Greece, there were hundreds of these
waiting about on the stone sidewalks day by day.
They were waiting for the powers to revise the
treaty of Bucharest and give them back their
homes in the region above Saloniki. Some local
journal had said that this revision was coming
soon. 1t was my duty to assure them that it would
never come. The phrase in Sofia, Europe exists
no more is the truth so far as Balkan affairs are
concerned.
The reason for that is clearer now. Europe was
paralyzed by the great terror which has since
come on ii In an unthinkable catastrophe. There
were some In the concert of powers" who were
striving to bring on this catastrophe. The war
of steel and gold" was about to give place to real
war, which would end, they hoped, in speedy vic
tory and world power. 1t has not ended in that way.
1t has not yet ended at all. But those who most
looked forward to war were the ones who had
least conception of its certain consequences.
In the whole length of the Struma valley In
western Macedonia, towns have been burned in
whole or part by the Greek army which pursued
the Bulgarians as far as the old border of Bull
garia. In Greek Macedonia, at the hands of some
one or all of the three successive armies-Turkish
Bulgarian and Greek-most of the towns between
Saloniki and Drama have suffered the same fate.
Each of these towns has now its share of Greek
refugees from Turkish Thrace. These have been
estimated by Greek authorities as numbering BOO
600. They have come by railway from Adrianople
in box cars belonging TO the Greek government.

Artingstall, sent for him.

10 HELPS
OUTSIDE OF CITIES
Country Districts May Have Their
Share II Proper Regulations Are
Not Observed.

When we read or heal Of slums we
almost invariably think of the back,
crowded, dirty and perhaps wicked
districts in the large cities. 1t seems
that there are rural slums. When
the American Civic association held
its convention it outlined "A campaign,
of attack on the rural Stun as IL ex-
lists both In the village and in the open
country. The campaign is a part Of
a wholly new movement for country,
planning which is intended to supple
ment and strengthen the work Of city
planning which the association has
been carrying on with success for some
years.
The civic associations information
department speaks of the rural slum
as if it were something newly dis
covered. 1t is true enough, as we al
ready have suggested, that most people
do not think Of slums of having exist
enc in the country, but that they are
no strangers there has been known
to some students of sociological con-
ditions for a long time.
There are rural slums to be found
in plenty in country districts where
good government" is supposed to rule
the day. Slums spring up about the
pens of the blind pigs" These places
are, perhaps, more of a menace to the
country youth than the slums of a
city are to the city youth. Because
in some places there is a lack of more
wholesome attractions, the country boy
is led to seek what he thinks are rec
reation and entertainment in the
plague places nearest at hand.-Chi-

Landscape Backgrounds.

Every garden in which a honse
stands should have u background. This
is generally accomplished by planting
trees along the rear line and along
the sides up to a point opposite the
rear end of the house. In small yards
slender trees are advisable, and If the
space is much restricted use but "
trees, one i'm each corner and connect
and tank with tall shrubs. With a
good background it Is much easier to

Theodore Rooseyelt's acceptance of
q place on the troop committee Of
Troop 3, Oyster Bay, Is further evi-
dence Of q pronounced tendency among
men OF affairs IN their relation to the
Boy Scout movement.
Scouting has always claimed the at
terti6n Of prominent men because men
of wide experience are more likely to
realize the necessity of dealing with
boys in the adolescent stage and to
appreciate the results which have
been achieved BY the scout program.
Recently there have been more and
more instances Of active participation;
in scout work by men Of manifold
interests and nationwide reputation,
These men seem to appreciate the
fact that only by personal contact with
boys can they bring to bear the infu-1
ence Of their personalities, and men
are coming to feel more emphaticaliy
the duty they owe to the boys of the
cofhmunity who lock to them for lead
