Dorothy Dix Sees Egypts Holy Family Site In Quiet Garden
Dorothy Dix recalls visiting a garden near Cairo linked to the Holy Family’s flight to Egypt. An Egyptian farmer and a woman at a well appear human and humble as she imagines Joseph Mary and baby Jesus beneath a great tree. A passerby explains the legend while a boy and goat rest in shade. The piece ends with a note about sending problems to Helen Worden Erskine and a separate remark on New York terminals replacing booths boosting revenue.
