OPEN THE DOOR OF YOUR
HEART.
Open the door of your heart, my lad,
To the angels of love and truth;
When the world Is full of unnum
bered joys,
. In the beautiful dawn of youth.
Casting aside all things that mar,
Saying to wrong "Depart!"
To the voices of hope that are calling
you
Open the door of your heart.
Open the door of your heart, my lass,
, To the things that shall abide,
To the holy thoughts that lift your
soul
Like the stars at eventide.
All of the fadeless flowers that bloom
In the realms of song and art
Are yours, if you'll only give them
room,
Open the door of your heart.
Open the door of your heart, my
-friend.
Heedless of class or creed,
When you hear the cry of a brother's
voice,
To sob of a child in need.
To the shining heaven that o'er you
bends
You need no map or chart,
But only the love the Master gave.
Open the door of your heart.

LIFE
like to contribute our praise and ap
plause. The general beauty bee that
has been buzzing for the last ten
years, the interest in athletics and
n health culture, have all worked
gether for great good. Women have
not only become more robust, but
they are a thousand times happier
than in the old days when, mothers
prayed that their daughters be not
afflicted with good looks. Many a
woman's existence has been hopeless-
y ruined because she believed her
plain appearance to be a lifelong af
fliction. The better looking a woman be
comes, the younger she feels, the
Ighter is her heart, and the greater
and nobler are her ambitions. With
a beautiful exterior, she is anxious to
have everything to match, so she
beautifes her mind by study and read-
nd and embellishes, her heart with
charity and kindness.
Good looks, like many other bless
ngs, are often valued too late. It
Is when a woman has lost them that
she sets about to cultivate and cherish
the remnants of beauty that are left.
GOWNS OF STOUT WOMEN.
Don't wear wide belts.
Don't wear a tight fitting coat.
Don't trim a skirt except at the
bottom.
Don't wear a sleeve that is full be
ow the elbow.
Don't use frills of any kind on a
gown if you are stout. Use flat trim
mings. Don't wear bow ties. Wear some
thing small and narrow if a ties is
required.
Don't wear fluffy things around the
neck. Le't the neck finishing he as
flat as possible.
Don't wear an Eton coat. Always
have the coat line extend as far be
low the waist line as possible.
The stout woman who dresses to
her figure, rather than to fashionable
models, is always more charmingly
gowned than she who wears what is
fashionable in itself rather than what
is suitable.
CARING FOR THE SUMMER HOSE.
That "a stitch in time saves nine,"
is never more true than when it is
applied to filling in with neat darn
ing the first tiny breaks in delicate
hosiery, . and hose should be filled
with crumpled tissue paper and hung
in the most excluded window to let
the air blow through them, and there
is nothing nicer than mending tissue
for repairing hosiery of silk or lisle
thread. Lace-woven and fine silk hose
can be cleaned and freshened by
washing through deodorized benzine
and then rinsing through clean ben
zine. Black hose are apt to be of
a dull, greenish color after several
washings and after washing through
warm suds they should be rinsed in
clear water and then in water to
which a tablespoonful of good vinegar
has been added. Nice hoisery will not
only look better but will last longer
if laundered often, for if allowed to
dry when moist with perspiration, the
hard rubbing necessary to get them
clean again will soon wear them out.
Delicate colored hose, such as pink,
rod or pale blue should be soaked
over night in a pail of warm water,
containing several tablespoonfuls of
turpentine, then they may be washed
afterwards without fading,1 by rubbing
them through a strong lather of white
ivory soap and warm soft water, but
the all-white hose are improved by
soaking in the suds over night. Black
and colored hose should be washed
and rinsed as quickly as possible and
hung in a shady place to dry, then if
they are pulled into shape several
times during the drying process they
will dry with very few wrinkles,
INFANT'S SLIP
Such a simple slip as this one
should be found in every infant's out
fit. It can be laundered with perfect
ease. It is dainty and charming and
involves the least possible labor in
the making. In the illustration fine
French nainsook is finished with
bandings and frills of lace, but em
broidery can be substituted for this
last if better liked and all the mate
rials that are used for infants' slips
are appropriate.
The little garment is made with
fronts and back and Is garnered at
the neck edge and drawn up by means
of tapes inserted in the casing. The.
sleeves are in bishop style and the'
closing is made invisible at the back.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size is two and one- .
eighth yards 36 inches wide with two
and one-fourth yards of insertion.
The pattern 5320 is cut In one size
only.

PROPER CARE OF LINOLEUM.
A household economic authority
says: "In caring for linoleum do not
use soapsuds, as for scrubbing a floor.
It stands to reason that soap is going
to injure the varnish and the finish.
On a farm where there is plenty of
milk, a cloth wrung out of skimmed
milk is the best means of taking up
the dust and brightening the linoleum.
Where milk is scarce, or needed for
food, use lukewarm water, to which
has been added half a cupful of kero
sense oil or some good furnitura polish
Wring the cloth rather dry from this
and go over the linoleum after sweep
ing, and it will be quite new and
bright and the finish uninjured. Most
housewives scrub oilcloth and linol
eum as though it were a bare flor;
it is dusty rather than dirty, since
everything remains on the top, and
for this reason a clean cloth slightly
damp is all that is necessary.

Patting and smoothing down a dish
of mashed potatoes spoils their fla
vor and texture.
A fourth of a teacup of strong bor
ax water in a pint of raw starch, will
make collars and cuffs stiff and
glossy.
The oil left from a box of sardines
is an excellent addition to cod fish
balls, or any other kind of minced
fish Instead of butter.
Paster for fastening on wall paper:
Mix a pound of flour with cold water.
add fiye quarts of boiling water, and
stir until thick as starch. Just before
using stir in half a pint of dissolved
glue.
In making a paste to fill cracks in
floors, thicken the flour with saw dust
instead of paper. The work is more
quickly done and is more satisfactory.
This is good to fill holes in plaster
ing, also.
Do not put hot water or any kind
of water upon woolens that have had
liquid grease spilled upon them. First,
sprinkle buckwheat or rye flour over
the place and let it absorb the grease,
brush off the flour and apply then
fresh flour until all the grease is absorbed.
