Garden Memory
Looking out into the garden
I can see you walking there
With the golden sunlight falling
On the red-gold Of your hair,
Tall and stately as a lily
Swaying on its slender stem,
With your gold hair in the
sunlight
Like a golden diadem.
Hollyhocks and roses, nodding,
Greet you gaily as you pass;
Far beyond, the weeping willows
Trail their branches on the
grass. 4
You are framed in yellow roses
Where the vine-clad trelliS
stands:
Golden sunlight all about you.
Yellow roses in your hands.
I shall hold this garden memory
Through the years, shall see
you there
Always, with the golden sun.

On the red-gold Of your hair.

Colored stockings can be
washed without any danger Of
fading If they are soaked over
night in a warm, soapy lather
to which a few drops Of tur.
pentine have been added. Use
one tablespoonful of turpentine
to each quarter Of soapsuds.
Before proceeding to wash
colored materials. allow them to
soak for an hour or so in cold
water to which a generous
amount of salt has been added.
This keeps the colors from fad

lace on your gown. Either
would be effective and lovely.
