ternly independent young women in
her kitchen, but she found her freedom
strangely fiat.
Now and then a play, straight from
"a triumphant year on Broadway"
came to town for one night; then
Martin took his wife, and they bowed
to half the men and women in the
house, lamenting as they streamed
out INFO the sharp night air that Red
Greek did not see more such prodGc-
| tons.
The effect Of these plays was to
make Cherry long vaguely for the
stage; she really did not enjoy them
for themselves. But they helped her
to visualize Eastern cities, lighted
streets, restaurants full of lights and
music, beautiful women fifty gowned.
After one of these performances she
would not leave her fat for several
days, but would sit dreaming over the
thought of herself in the her0ines
role.
one day she had letter from Alix
it gave her a heartaChe, she hardly
knew why. She began TO dream of her
own home, Of the warm, sweet little
valley whose breeIes were like wine,
Of Tamalpais Wreathed in fog, and of
the ridges where buttercups and pop
pies powdered q child's shoes with
gold and silver dust. She began to
hunger for home. Nothing that Red
Creek could offer shook her yearning
for the remembered sweetness and
beauty Of the redwoods, and the
great shade of the mountain. She
wanted to spend whole summer with
Alix.
She was athirst for home, for ola
scenes and old friends and old emo
tionsl She had only to hint to Allx

fervent invitation. So it was settled.
