frail wan-looklng fellow LOT an Of
his brave clear eyes, that Lucie said
she feared he might take pneumonia
in that soaking rain, and she moved
over quickly and offered him the shell
ter Of her umbrella.
He smiled little, Lucle said, assur-
ing her of his gratitude, but his home
was too far from the Gar line for him
TO impose upon her offer. AS the
length Of the walk he must take only
made her duty more necessary,
Lucie started cheerfully along at his
side, with the umbrella held well over
the soldiers bandaged arm. And as
they swung down the avenue, he told
her many interesting tales Of war, and
though the wounded man carefully
omitted the personal from his stories,
Lucie was sure that he had played
Il heroic part in them all.
His arm would soon be all right, he
said, but the doctor had warned him
that returning strength must come
slowly. SO he had to be patient--he
must be patient, even if they refused
to let him go back to fight the Hun.
And most delightfully."- at the end Of
their walk together, they found llt-l
tie old lady waiting upon the porch OIL
Il trim white house, to welcome back
her son.
Lucic was urged to come in and dry
her damp clothes before the CRATE fire,
Homer was the name Of her hero,
and Lucie found it easily in the phone
book. Though Mrs. Homer answered,
her son added to the message. "lf
Miss Craythorne would give her ad-
dress" he said, che would be glad to
return the umbrella in tie morning"
True to his promise, on the following
morning, Mr.. Jack Homer arrived at our
door, black silk umbrella in his hand,
and neither saw Lucie after his en-
trance, nor did she call me into the
room, though the murmuring Of their
voices and low laughter, came to me
as 1 meth0dically continued my iron

The romance unfolded so quickly
that aunt and | were bewildered over
succeeding events. When the weather
was considered unfavorable for Jacks
visits, Lucle continued what she term

cheering the invalid at the home OF his
mother; and his evident progress in
health paid due tribute to her faith
fulness.
1t was when we were making plans
together for the wedding that Lucle
said tenderly: i
Il shall always keep that umbrella,
Jack, as reminder of the wonderful
way it brought us together"
"You may" her beloved agreed.
81 may?" Lucie repeated question
ingly.
Jack nodded. "You see," he explain
ed, ut is really my own umbrella,
Lucie. When you first snatched it up
from beside me on the car seat, | did
not quite understand--even thought,
that your offer to take me home under
its protection, was made because Of Il
rebuking conscience. But as we walk
ed on together--Oh! as we walked to-
gether dear, 1 blessed your mistake,
and I'm blessing it YETI
The shocked incredullty of my sis
ter'S face made us all laugh.
II recall now," l said, that you had
no umbrella, Lucie, as you stepped on
to the car"
And that is why my faith in aunt's
theory of impressing future husband,
is falterlng.

would require more money than they
could raise to put them on purchased
land and carry them to point where
success would reward their efforts.
Again, an obstacle arises in the
knowledge of the hardships and the
long and difficult struggle that is
nearly always entailed by pioneering
adventures.
In addition to this is the realization
that a tremendous amount Of labor
without the aid of machinery. Those
who contemplate attempting this on
an individual basis find the obstacles
too great and they retire after bitter
disappointment.
Another great obstacle has been
the lack of social life and the oppor-
tunity of education of the children
and the utter dearth of the comforts
and conveniences of city life, such as
medical and hospital facilities, access
to libraries, lectures, and education
al gatherings.
To all of those who have investi-
gated the. possibilities of deliverance
from the struggle and the turmoil of
city life has not come the vision of
the possibilities of great co-opera-
tive group undertaking to do what is
impossible Of achievement for the in
dividual. To some, however, has

is that it carries the garden city idea
to its fullest expression. The public
buildings lie between two parks, the
streets run between parks as the
houses do not front on the streets
but in turn all lie between two parks.
You cannot go into any place in the
town where you will not find your
self between two parks. These parks
are to replace the neglected back
yards with which we are all so .unfor-
tunately familiar.
The houses are Joined together, but
separating them is blank, sound
proof wall. Thus each family is
housed between two blank walls.
Between the sections of the house is
a patio or court in which a flower
garden may be kept, or in which the
children may play and always be in
sight of the mother. On each side of
each row of houses is parking
space. Sleeping apartments are ar
ranged for on the roof, with storm
projections. Ample living rooms, sun
parlor dining rooms, bed rooms, ETC.,
are provided. The sleeping roof can
accommodate eight beds with priva-
cy. The house arrangement pro-
vides numerous advantages, the chief
of which is the fact that neighbors
are not forced to see and hear what
is being done and said by neighbors
on each side. The simplicity and
beauty of the town and housing plan
appeals irresistibly to all to whom it
is explained.
No Constitution or By-LdWS
Many persons who want to know
how the affairs of the Llano del Rio
Community are conducted think, in
order to get this information, they
must secure copy Of the constitu-
ton and bylaws. There is no con-
stitution. The Llano Community
contents itself with declaration of
principles" The corporation by
laws are the sterotyped corporation
bylaws of almost every state. The
only innovation is in the restricting
of anyone from voting more than
1000 shares of stock, regardless of
how many shares are held. AS this
is to be the ultimate holding of every
member, this is considered a strong
protective clause. The incorpora-
ton charter is also the usual type
and gives the corporation the right to

| transact almost all manner of bust
Declaration of PRINCIPLES

transact almost all manner Of bust
ness.
Declaration of Principles
In conducting the affairs of the
Llano del Rio Community it has been
found that the fewer infexible rules
and regulations the greater the har-
mony. Instead Of an elaborate con-
stitution and set of laws the colo
nists have a Declaration of Princi-
pies and they live up to the spirit
of them. The declaration follows:
Things used productivity must be
owned collectively.
The rights of the Community shall
be paramount over those of and indi-
vidual.
Liberty of action is only permissi-
BILE when it does not restrict the lib
erty of another.
Law is restriction of liberty and
is only just when operated for the
benefit of the community at large.
Values created by the Commur II 4
shall be vested in the CommunnyS
alone.
The individual is not justly enti-
tied to more land than is sufficient.
to satisfy reasonable desire for
peace and rest. Productive land held
for profit shall not be held by private
ownership.
Talent and intelligence are gifts
which chould rightly be used in the
service of others. The development
of these by education is the gift Of
the Community to the individual, and
the exercise of greater ability enti-
ties none to the false rewards of
greater possessions, but only to the
joy of greater service to others.
Only by identifying his interests
and pleasures with those of others
can man find real happiness.
The duty of the individual to the
Community is to develop ability to
the greatest degree possible by avail
ing himself of all educational facili-
ties and to devote the whole extent
of that ability to the service of all.
The duty of the Community to the
individual is to administer justice
to eliminate greed and selfshness, to
educate all and to aid any in time of
age or misfortune.

ticle showing advantages of South

How it will be possible for the
workers to obtain the fullest result
of their labor and how they will be
able to hold it, can be made clear by
an understanding of the various in
dustries which can be carried on by
the Llano community.
The following list of industries
which have been conducted at Llano,
California, show the scope already at:
tempted: Shoe shop, laundry, can
merry, cleaning, warehouse, machine
shop, blacksmith shop, rug works,
print shop, planning mill, range stock,
hog raising, dairy goats, numbering,
magazine, newspaper, bakery, fish
hatchery, transportation, barber ship,
paint shop, saw mill, overalls and
shirts, lime kiln, dairy, cabinet shop,
nursery, alfalfa, orchards, poultry
yards, gardens, rabbitry.
In addition to the industries are
many institutions that are almost in
dustries, and which might be classed
as such. There are also the recrea-
tions which deserve special mention
Swimming pool, baths, hotels, draft
ing office, commissary, library, gram
mar school, Montessori school, COM
mercial classes, two weekly dances,
night classes, brass band, mandolin
club, orchestras, baseball, football,
entertainments.
Women at Work
There are many activities to en-
gage the time and attention of the
women and girls in the colony.
A number of memberships have
been taken out by women and many
different departments; in the hotel,
kitchen, laundry, cannery, clothing
repair department, tailoring, library,
general Office, Western Comrade, and
at nursing, while the women whose
families require their constant atten-
ton remain at home to care for them
as they would in any other communi-
ty.
Unique City Arrangement
Plans for a model city and houses
SiNhis SOiupiCIC piVdSy WltuOuI loO-
lation have been worked out for the
colony. The city plan contemplated
is as follows:
The city is divided into sixteen
sections by as many radiating streets.
The Civic Center is the radiating
point and no house in the city is more
than four blocks distant from the
point where all the activities of the
colony are focused. There is a CEN
trail rotunda with eight wings, each
of them 148x60 feet. >One wing will
contain the bank, post office and adj
ministration Offices; another the
store, then the Mems club, the Ii
brary, the Woman's club, the Hotel,
the Moving Picture show, etc. The
buildings will be erected one at a
time as the need and the opportunity
arise, and when they are completed
they will automatically enclose the
central auditorium. In the open
space between the wings pretty little
parks will be created, and all the Of
fees, ETC., will open with French win
dows on vistas of fountains and
greenery. One feature of the town
