Nrraiva bluff Corre spondent. Oakland, Cal., April 9. When the April moon mounts high in the . heavens on the night of April 22, the man in the niu6ii will take a squint at the doings down amid the timbered .slopes of "The , flights" and smile broadly. " For amid the trees on tlfc' night of April 22, between the mystic hours of 10 and midnight, Jianita Miller, poetess and daughter', of Joaquin Miller, famous California poet, with all of the ceremonials of the ancient Druids, is to wed her dream lover, "Juan" Miller. That Wedding Dress. And the man in the moon will yhuckle because, seeing ' all and knowing all, he knows that Juanita and John as he appears in the mar riage record were prosaically -wedded by a justice of the peace at .Redwood City last December. This prosaic procedure xrated on the ar tistic sensibilities of fair Juanita, y hence the romantic consummation 'oeath the full moon of her "Jily ( Icive.

" The marriage of "Juan" and Miss Miller will culminate a love affair which started years ago when John Miller visited "The Mights" as a sightseer, The wedding will also complete a cycle of color periods through which Juanita said she was destined to live when a baby, Her marriage to Miller, she says, is the "white," or final episode of the col or periods through which she has lived her life. Trial Marriage Failed. Juanita- has been married before. Two years ago, likewise in the full ness of an April moon, she con tracted a trial marriage with John Keavts, wealthy mining engineer and bungalow owner in the Philip pines. But they could not live to gether happily, so after a few weeks Reavis left for a trip to Texas and Mexico, which ended in the Philip pines, where Reavis also had a "first love," according to Miss Mil ler. This "red love," as Juanita called it, ended with his departure, and in a letter received recently she was informed by a friend that Reavis died last June. This fact has not c.; sSz& been completely established, but one room Juanita sleeps and does Juanita says, "I. know it must be true." " - '; " ' When 'interviewed at "The' Hights,"' above Oakland, a show place which overlooks die "Golden Gate," five great cities and seven counties, Juanita related the- facts of her life from babyhood, taking in every period of her color cycle up to the return of "Juan," and the time of the-wedding to her first, or "lily love." "The Hights" was - built by Joaquin Miller when in the prime of life, and consists of several small houses, now tumbledown and de caying. Serves Wine of the 70's. Juanita is not only -a poetess, as her father was a poet, lut is - a housekeeper of no mean ability, and a master of the culinary art. Though living the "simple life," her hospi tality is famous, her guests .being served cake and candy of her own making and wine of the early 70's. Juanita's little house, a two-room, rugged affair, built for her by her lather, is also in a state of decay. In he!- cooking, while in. the other which is. furnished mostly with ma terials obtained ,from nature's for est, she entertains guests. It was in this room, "decorated with sweet smelling wild flowers she had gath ered from the woods, antique furni ture made by her father, a candle lamp, walls of burlap, a small tri angular table made from limbs of a tree and a floor that was bare, that the interview was given. Juanita sat on a box covered with the skin of a wild animal. Falls Into Trance. "It was years ago," said Juanita, "that my life-story came to me. I seemed to fall into a trance while composing poetry.-When I eame to there was the complete story ot my life, all written out. 'Twas a wonderful story. It told of the "red love" from the Philippines. It also told of the "lily white" love that would follow, of how my first lover would come suddenly into my life leave for a while and return triumphantly which would be the final episode in my heart life. And it has al occurred." Juanita told of how when a baby she had seen her father playing with a diamond ring, given him .by the Prince Imperial, and that on seeing its changing colors, her first uttered word was "pree-chee," or pretty. The mother had seen the ring weave rainbows around the ' baby's heal An Optimistic Fatalist "I am now in the 'Indigo' period, . having been through all the others except the white, and ain not cer tain r'of the' white fulfillment, but have' confidence, though all the other episodes have been, utter : failures. But still I am an optimistic fatalist and each time while surmounting a disappointing episode I have made a rosary symbolizing my last il lusion.". Here she led her interviewer to a crude wooden case' on the wall and exhibited rosaries of 'every color, ex cept, white, which 'she had made at the conclusion of each period in her cycle of color. I have learned to say in truth, 'Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven,'" she said. To explain each period of the cycle and the significance of each. Juanita - composed the following poem: "Pink, tulips. of curiosity: red, In dian lights of Camp Fire Girls desire; Copa de Oras (yellow), of brief ful fillment; then green, of new hopes fir; Blue, iris of ideality; violets, of mod esty Indigo, poppies to lull despair; White, lilies of an answered prayer." In relating the history of her love with "Juan," and of how he came into her life, she said: "When I was a little girl, studying in my tulip garden, I saw older peo ple making, love and kissing. I wondered when my tulip time was coming. Just then I kissed a tulip and' a boy bounded over the fence and kissed, me. That is the wav I tell of 'Juan' first visiting 'The Hights.' I shall never forget that 'first' kiss." The Electric Kiss. To perpetuate the remembrance of the first kiss, she wrote this poem: "Ecstasy of hieh vibration. Electric cause of all creation, Radiance of blinding bliss, Before love's storm the intense kiss." But "Juan" soon left her life and for six years Juanita did not hear from him. In the meantime, she had her "red love" and married Reavis, which proved a failure- During tfw six years "Juan" had been traveling land and sea and had written her once, stating that "the bird was fly ing and did not have far to go." Then "Juan" made his appearance at .The Higjits" and claimed pretty Juanita as his astral wife. -Finds Her Eighth Brother. Fate, the same which brought "Juan" out of the void and back to Tuanita. has cast a across the mind of the pretty lass. sne naa a flream recently which de picted Juan as her "quarter or eighth brother."
