One year, however, the rock garden accom-

the empty Golfers of the Beverly girls little
income. The landscape gardeners, in reality a
struggling young farmer and his brother. who
had taken up this work as q side line and
whose services came cheap, proud of their
results, had succeeded in interesting the editor
of a garden magazine. The Beverly girls
received the sum of 500 for permitting pho
tographers to take pictures which were uti-
mately to be published in magazine.
1t was part of the conservatism in which
these girls had been born and bred, that their
sensitive natures should shrink from even this
vicarious publicity but the young farmer
huskies, local boys with ambition, were eagerly
insistent and the prospect of the 500 so well
come that finally they gave in.

THERE was one annual ritual, however, which
amounted almost to a legend, which the
girls performed at any sacrifice 1t usually
meant long, weary hours of needlework, which
they secretly sold to the Womans Exchange,
and the sacrifice of more objects of value from
the household, but every Spring, come what
might regular as clockwork. the girls added
bit to their lovely rock garden. and called
in the services of landscape gardeners for the
extension.
The Beverly rock garden was known the
finest in the State. On those occasions
when the Beverly girls had guests, they served
them tea in it, as their parents and grand
parents and great-grandparents had done
before them. 1t was the one luxury in their
lives and it cost them dearly. 1t may tax the
credulitieS, but it is actually fact that many
night the Beverly girls, after they had con-
cluded their days work in the darkness, went
to bed hungry. But in all the lean years, the
rock garden never suffered New and precious
species of roses climbed it's walls each year.

in its crevices. What an ironical situation it

popular of the wind instruments now used
in orchestral work, was invented in 1890 by

the privilege of taking tea to the sound Of the
little wsoer falls and for the lovely perfume OF
roses and magnoias. Indeed as the girls whis-
pered ruefully to one another in the secret
reaches of their room, practically all of tina
500 had gone in meeting social expenditures
that had come with the public celebration OF
their garden.
The Beverly girls as the years marched on,
were growing tired; bone -tired, heart-tired,
soul-tired. The struggle was too much. It was
one thing to walk out every afternoon they
did, down the broad, beautifully secured, front
stone steps and along the quiet lane of their
sedate avenue, and out into the city, where
they were kno"n and respected as the Beverly
girls" 1t was quite another matter to creep
back into that cold bleak house of empty
larderS, Servantless servant quarters, fireless
fireplaceS, climb into Scrubbing clothes, scour
into midnight and then creep hungrily as
often as not, into beds whose sheets and pill
lowcases had been washed and ironed by the
girls themselves.

ONE day something really quite thrilling oc-
CURED. The mayor of the town approached
the sisters requesting that on the city's birth
day, when a great local celebration was to be
staged, they throw their beautiful garden open
to the public. The city would insure them
against damage, and since the old Beverly
mansion was really one of the landmarks of
the community it seemed fitting that on this
anniversary occasion, its famous gardens
should be open to the citizens. 1t was a
tribute both to the social position of the
Beverly girls and to the lovely old mansion
itself. The sisters were moved and impressed
and gladly consented to the undertaking. Con-
seQuenty part of the elaborate festivities of the
birthday celebration of the city was the free
inspection of the Beverly rock gardens Men.
women and children filed through the gardens
by the thousands, all during the day Re-
freShments, served by the city were to be had
In the beautifully painted pergolas. Sun danced
on the TANKS of the darting goldfish in the
Beverly ponds. The populace applauded the
scene of idyllic loneliness.
1t was remarked however that the Beverly
sisters were not among those present on that
day. The house stood open, inviting those who
would, to enter, but somehow it was not the
sort of interior to beckon. There was some
thing cold, austere and homeless about the in
side of the Beverly mansion. 1t seemed more
of relic, historic place, than home.
No, the Beverly girls were not present. This
boring town called Andulsia, in the act of being
married to the farmer brothers who were their
landscape gardeners.
The Beverly girls never returned to the Bev-
erly mansion. They presented it to the city.
No longer do they have to creep back into a
cold bleak house of empty larders and fireleSS
f1replaces; their new home is no relic, no his
toric place, but house of cheer and hopes and
plans for the future. No more do the sisters
walk out in the afternoon along quiet lanes and
sedate avenues to be nodded to and pointed out
as the strange and respected Beverly girls"
The days of converting precious old art objects
into money are gone; the struggle of secretly
laboring under cover of darkness, washing win
dows, scrubbng steps, wedding and spading Is
done. The Beverly girls are farmers wives.
They live on q truck farm five miles outside
the city limits. Their rock garden now is Q
truck garden. They still Scour and sweep and
dust and clean, but out in the open sunlight
