Sex in Brain" The book was translated
into eight different languages and was con-

Her second book was written as a plea
for a single standard for morality for the

of a novel, which caused a tremendous
sensation. The book went through fifty
editions.

form of novels she explained. las this

TT WAS while hunting for an abandoned
L farmhouse that could be made habitabie
for a summer abode that Helen K. Aloee
found one in the foothills of New Hamp'
shire Here she founded her summer home,
spending her winters in Washington. Sur
rounding the house she laid out her garden,
which is now one of the most charming in
the region; but in it is never allowed a
flower to be picked, for sentimentally she
has a feeling that they are like children,
thus making it almost a crime to do so:
not realizing, probably. how much better it
is for the heal-h and growth of the plants
to remove the surplus blossoms.
Mingling familiarly with her neighbors,

THE Jam Girl is her nickname at home'
i because a girl at home and q prophet IN
his own country never receive all the nom
sxe due them; "Bouguereau" they called
her at the College of the Pacific, because
of her wonderful talent in painting; but
some one, 1 think it was Lconcavallo, gave
her the title which has stuck when he dubbed
her the Girl Stradivarius."
In her San Jose garden Grace Barstow
earned all three titles. Her mother tells
how from twisted fig trees and sturdy apri-
cots in that garden she gathered fruit wnlcn
she converted into marmalade and Jam,
winning first prizes at county afairst linen

scapes which breathe the breath of Cali

burnt blues, bricks and oranges; these alone
would have given her fame. But visions
Of greater things came to Grace Barstow
In her wonderful old garden.
When she was a very little girl, just
learning to play the violin, she got the
idea-"from where, 1 don't know" she
says-that she could make violins herself.
The beautiful wood of the great redwoods
growing just outside the garden fascinated
her always.
"It seemed to mesmerize me,' she recalls
with a far of happy look in her eyes. "lt
seemed to want to make music like
my violin. And often we would take turns,
the redwoods with the wind playing through
their leaves and branches, and with my
little violin. singing the same songs We
had wonderful duets and splendid times to-
rether. Even the birds Joined in and the
early morning heard strange orchestral
harmonies."
CHE was only eight when her brother had
Sa complete work bench made for her and
cot IL up in the corner of the garden. There
we're two strong vises on it-"for vises,"
she contends, ARE virtues in violin making"
Together brother and sister secured the town
for tools and accumulated chisels, saws, NAL
let's. planes, clamps, ealipers, ebony keys,
purfing and glue and varnish. There was
even a very successful varnish made from
the gum of the fig trees in the garden-for
this girl. like Amati, tried everything in her
little violin factory.

1T was natural that my previous in
terests should lead me to take up suffrage
work." Mrs. Gardener said. .
She became one of the leaders. Of the
National Woman's Suffrage Association and
held the Office of vice president. She was
known by the other officers. of the associa-
tion as the diplomatic corps" because Of
her shrewd counsel and farsightedness.
Suffrage women say that she is still the
adviser to whom presidents of the suffrage
organization, now the National League of
Women Voters, naturally turn.
MY appointment to the Civil Service
Commission was a great surprise" she said
"of course had lived in Washington of
and on for years, and because of my activi-
ties had fairly wide acquaintance up on
the hill" ...-.
When she was asked why she thought a
woman member of the Civil Service Com
mission would be valuable she smiled broadly.

given her the tact she needs. She must
impress groups of persons when she ao-
dresses them. Her training in giving uni
versity extension lecture courses on soci-

to drive home message from the platform

much that / have given up virtually all

And perhaps the most significant fact
that she is the right person for her re-
sponsible position is the attitude Of Com
missioner Wales, who has been a member
of the commission twenty five years.

proIimately half of the civil service en-
ployes, almost 70o, 600 in all, are women?"
One recalls that the United States army,
by comparison with the civil service, has
Only $50 900 personnel.
1T is proper that men and women should
work together to make the laws and to
carry out their provisions, Mrs. Gardener
said. The government is just housekeep-
ing on a large scale. In the home it takes
both the mother and the father to make
laws for the household: the same is true in
government"
Although she did not dream years ago
what her work would be today, all her
previous activities have been training for
what is needed in her present position. She
has to meet and judge numbers of persons
every day, and thus her study of alienation
is invaluable. She has to use diplomacy,
as every person in a high government posi-
