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. '

'arty, for Juanita is to wear a wed-
insr dress which, she says, was
'nade in the hills of lilies, tears and i
noonlight.
" 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

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
