(By Margaret E. Sangster)

The childhood days that were packed

With memories that are glowing bright
In memory. l seem to see

And tucking Il into q tin;

But most Of all see her make,
The cookies that ! lowed 30 well!
l doubt II I can ever tell
The thrill that came when she cut out
The men and beasts and flowers
l doubt
II any other mother made
Such cookie shapes, I am afraid
That l may never hope to sec
Them now-except in memory!
Such raisin eyes, such frostinR hair,
Such citroR noses! Smiles were there
With currant teeth to make them seem
More splendid than a childish dream.
When mother started cookies, we
Were just as good as we could be,
And when she took them, spicy hot
Right from the oven, like as not
Shed call the neighbor kiddies in
And all Of US would just begin
TO have q party. How she smiled,
