She wasn't a great painter; she never would be one, yet she believed that she saw her mission clear and "mere man" had no part in her dreams. A number of her girlfriends encouraged her in the notion, and all had determined to live in single blessedness for the rest of their days. While her enthusiasm was at its height, a distant relative died and left the girl an orange grove in California. She determined to share her good luck with her chums, and invited them to aid her in establishing an "Adamless Eden." They accepted with enthusiasm, made the journey with her, and promptly ousted all the men they found at work in the grove, declaring that they (the girls) would look after everything themselves. For a time all was lovely, but this condition did not last. The girl found to her sorrow, that her chums were not only unfitted for the work, but they were also lazy. Seemingly all they knew about oranges was how to eat them, and this they did energetically, spicing the dessert with discourses on the uselessness of Man. The young proprietor lamented, but revived somewhat when an interesting man came into her life. He was her neighbor, the owner of the adjoining orange grove, and she soon grew lo like him very much. He was always helpful, reliable, and could be depended upon to be on hand when wanted. Their friendship grew and finally the other girls became aware of it. There was a scene, and the young orange grove proprietor was deserted by all of her indignant apostles. Lonely and forlorn, she prepared to go back to the city, although her mission did not appear as important as it once had been. Just at the right moment, however, the Man came along, and in his masterful way solved the problem of the future. You see, orange groves suggest orange blossoms and orange blossoms suggest brides, and frequently mighty poor artists make loving affectionate wives, and so it proved in this case.
