When it was reserved for park purposes the task of its conquest from the sand seemed so cult that the city sought expert advice. Frederick Law Olmsted, the creator of Central Park in New York, had lived for some time in California and was connected, in a professional capacity, with the administration of the Mariposa His celebrity as a landscape architect caused his selection expert to pass upon Golden Gate Park. After a long survey ed that it would be impossible to make a park on that lo- cation. As a substitute he advised that Van Ness avenue be ex- cavated and curved toward the ocean beach so as to furnish a pro- t i evard, below the surface, as a driveway between the grant. rep: be ce of that expert opinion the development of Golden Park was undertaken.

Eat frult for lunch. Avoid pastry and hot cakes. Only take potatoes once a'day. Don't drink tea or dare I say, one of the- most adorable children in fiction? Furthermore, an English novel needs a dog in it for the sake of local color. And a lively, self- respecting dog is different from a pam- pered, wall-eyed poodle. But—trying not to be too cynical— are pets, even pedigreed ones, a good matrimonial investment? It doesn’t follow that a man is going to love his sweetheart’s dog as he loves her incomparable self. I have known the book of romance to become dog- that compared with dogs they were useless luxuries.

But before the awful judgment of men was a finality, before the appalling sentence touched him, death came like evening to the weary, afid with all his sorrows upon him he rested. Living he incurred harsh judgment by missteps for which there is no explanation consistent with a proper sense of duty, but public morals take no harm by saying for him dead that he had qualities, and that many features of his career were far better than its close.
