There must be walls about such q garden to hold in memo rieS and tall trees for mystery and much fragrance--amd ShadOwS--und the child must sometimes play alone that his delicate joy may not be marred What pe;fce this garden will bring in the old. dry years to come, khat ineffable tears, what longing!
