Miss Susie Carter, a member of the Woman's Commonwealth who upholds celibacy and communism, is hired as a clerk in the Department of Agriculture. Her move, to the forestry division, marks a rare break from the community's tradition of inward living. The community, about fifteen to sixteen women near middle age plus Miss Carter, owns property, and public interest has grown since a past elopement drew nationwide attention.
