GARDEN OF MRS. BERNE H. HOPKINS 
AT COLORADO SPRINGS 
The comfortably furnished garden, like the 
comfortably furnished room, soon becomes the 
center of daily living and in these days of 
mechanism and nerve-fraying bustle such re¬ 
treats, with their truly re-creative quiet, are 
eagerly sought by grown-ups and children.
