Souvenirs
By PouIette M. SoIto
1t was darling place so
comfortable . so homelike after
10 long years had brought about
their changes: The soft pillow
for Granny, the three-headed vase
zone head for the daisies, one for
the wild roses and still another
for the branches of scarlet. wild
berries or the yelloW-crowned
marlgoldS that might be picked
from the lot behind the house ::
the oil painting mother had done
some years before. All these
and more had come to en-
belliSh the new house.
The new house. 1t had been
just wild spot by the sea, until
10 years before. with a few fisher
men selling their fresh-caught
wares in the small town. 3 miles

new house. At first, it was built
very near the sea and was just a

on bringing new objects into the
house and 10 years is a long
time! Father had made all the
new furniture for the verandas;
mother had painted it; roses were
