To Make a Tiny House
Oh, Little House, if thou a home would'st be
Teach me thy lore, be all in all to me.
Show me the way to find the charm
That lies in every humble rite and daily task within thy walls.
Then not alone for thee, but for the universe itself,
Shall I have lived and glorified my home.

Vegetable Tarts and Pies
Elizabeth Goose of Boston bestowed a great blessing upon American posterity when she induced her good man, Thomas Fleet, to publish, in 1719, "The Mother Goose Melodies," many of which rhymes dated back to a similar publication printed in London two hundred years before. Is it strange that, with this ancestral nursery training, the cry against the use of pastry goes unheeded, when as children, we, too, have sung to us, over and over, the songs of tarts and pies?
