“The Gates of Silence”
Ry Meta Stmmins, Author of '‘Hushed Up"
TODAY’S INSTALLMENT.
No man or woman in their senses
would have run into that room of fire
and flame that faced her across the
landing: only a child, with a child's lack
of fear, thinking only of the one end in
view’—to reach that still figure that she
could see lying there by the bed whose
draperies were all aflame.
• A Horrible Sight.
But Bess reached the bedside, the Are
stretching out envious, greedy tongued
of flame to lap at her as she passed.
" ’Im!” she cried. “Paul, my fine gen
tleman dad!”
Then she gave a scream that sounded
loud and shrilly, echoing above the roar
of the flames, reaching the ears of the
men who had come at that moment
quietly and stealthily to the door of the
shop. She could not tell how’ it had
happened, but she saw that the corner of
the cloth that had been on the table was
fast clutched in Saxe's hand. He must
have pulled it and the lamp which had
stood upon it to the floor, where it had
burst.
The creeping, burning oil had left no
beauty in Paul Saxe. He was a thing at
which the women who had fawned on
him and admired and courted him would
have cried out in shrinking, sickening
horror.
"Oh, my lor’, 'e’s dead! 'E's dead! Oh,
look, 'e's dead!” the child cried. She cast
up her long, thin arms with a shriek and
fell forward across the feet of the man
who was her father.
The doctor looked down at the still fig
ure on the bed for a moment longer, then,
with a practised hand, drew the sheet up
over the white face.
"Death came as a crowning mercy to
Mrs. Rimington, Miss Lumsden. You
have no cause for regret.”
His tongue ran on in glib professional
phrases which passed Betty’s conscious
ness by like smoke. She only knew that
while she had wept and sorrowed in
selfish grief, this woman’s life had gone
out, and she had passed without a hand
to soothe or a voice to comfort her.
"I knew It is no business of mine” —-site
was suddenly conscious once again that
the doctor was speaking to her, looking
at her with eyes full of a kindly interest

Mrs. Stuart Finally Saved By
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege
table Compound—Her
Story Interesting.
Elmo, Mo. —“I think your Vegetable
Compound is wonderful for it has helped
me. I had four doc
tors and they said I
had female troubles
and a tumor and
nothing but an oper
ation would help me.
I could not sit still
long enough to eat,
and could sleep
hardly any I was in
so much misery with
pains in my side and
back.
“A year ago last spring my doctor
gave me up, and he was surprised to see
me this spring and to see my condition.
I give Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound the praise wherever I go for
I know I would not be here today or have
our fine baby boy if I had not taken it.”
-Mrs. Sarah J. Stuart, R.F.D. No. 2,
Box 16, Elmo, Mo.
The success of Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound, made from roots
and herbs, is unparalleled. It may be
used with perfect confidence by women
who suffer from displacements, inflam
mation, ulceration, tumors, irregularities,
periodic pains, backache, bearing-down
feeling, flatulency, indigestion, dizziness,
or nervous prostration. Lydia E. Pink
ham’s Vegetable Compound is the stan
dard remedy for female ills.

of the century, you speak of her as be
ing well groomed.
Practically, it means that the girl in
question is most delicately fastidious in
everything pertaining to her toilet and
to her personality.
The well groomed girl is found be
hind the counter, next to a slovenly
companion; there are thousands of her
in offices clicking the typewriter, you
will see her on the farm, where she is
so charmingly ami becomingly dressed
in her simple little frocks that she
I stamps herself at once as well bred,
sensible and immaculately clean, no
i matter what sort of work she may be
doing.
Os course, it is the ideal of every
[society girl to be known as perfectly
' j groomed, but. the girl who can give all
her time to the process achieves no
greater success than the one who hur
ries out quickly in the morning to a
day’s work and preserves during long
hours of toil that same characteristic
which we recognize at once and call
good grooming.
Now, the first principle of the well
gloomed girl is absolute cleanliness.
’ 1 She takes her daily hot scrub at night
religiously as sh< says her prayers,
i and if she has little time to call her
I own she systematizes this time so as to
get the very utmost out of it.
Hott much time tvomen lose loiter-
I ing about their dressing and thinking
of other things while they are pretend
; ing to attend to their toilet,
i No Make-Up.
I Good grooming has nothing to do
I with makeup in any form. On the
contrary, the* ind t hose
■ in busim ss who are pre-eminently well
■ groomed show no trace of powder,
paints or artifice of any kind.
i This doesn't mean that they dress in
.i -cverc masculine or unbet oming man.
,' ner. Hut it does mean that they are
i appropriately dressed. They do not
wear laces and furbelows at the wrong
time, and as far as the business girl is
I com l ined, the most expensive part of
th< v.ardrobt is that worn during the
! I day time, while the flimsy, inexpensive
I 1 but pretty frocks are reserved for even-
II ing wear.
J The well groomed girl obtains the
i color in her cheeks from daily exer
’ > else and from the friction of a bath
l brush, which she uses with her daily
i hath Her hair is lustrous, soft and.
above all. with never a suggestion of
' dandruff. Her scalp is clean and shin
’ ing as her brow. She will do her hair
' up in the simplest way that is still be-
I coming to her and leave elaborate coif
' fures for evening.
Her hands are daintiness itself, for
' I every girl has time enough to look after
I ■ her hands and nails, if she really wants
II to.
Her boots ir< perf. ctly varnished
'land well fitted. It she has had a sen-
sible mother, the girl who is well
groomed has been taught how to buy
Very Important.
Personally, I consider this as impor
tant as how to cook, and I don’t think
the girl’s education is complete until
she is given some ideas about the value
of materials used in clothing, unless she
can tell good linen, wool and cotton
from the shoddy materials which mask
under that name.
In Germany and Erance, where girls
are still brought up with the idea that
they will some day marry and have a
household to take care of and to buy
for, the young girl is regular!}’ trained
in the matter of buying. She is taken
to market by the cook or by her moth
er. and instructed In prices of all food
stuffs, just as she is taught how to
cook them.
She is also taken around to the shops
and learns to differentiate between goou
and bad materials, between the lasting
and valuable, though possibly more ex
pensive goods, and the cheap and taw
dry tilings, made to please the passing
fancy.
Despite the fact that Paris makes the
fashions, French women wear their
clothes longer than Americans do, and
they have a hundred and one ways of
renovating, remodeling and changing
last year’s garments and making them
strictly up to date.
First of all, there is the wonderful
“stoppeuse.” This is the person who
can mend a tear in any kind of mate
i ial so that it is absolutely impossible
to detect it. The process is long and
tedious, and consists in sort of weaving
of the broken threads, but it saves good
clothing that would otherwise have to
be thrown away, and I am glad to see
that these remarkable menders are be
ginning to ply their trade over here.
Wants Somebody '‘Cute.”
One little girl naively states that fa
ther will “buy her anything she wants,"
but unfortunately she has no mother
to tell her what to get, and she is going
to boarding school in the fall. Sh»
wants something that will be “cute" as
well as within the regulation of the
school, which calls for a uniform. I
hope that she can find an older woman
in her town who will go with her to the
shop and buy her the simple tailored
suit of good material, the long, warm
coat for tough ami rainy weather, a
simple little afternoon gown for teas
and one muslin or lingerie frock for
parties.
This, with the left -overs of her pres
ent wardrobe anti the middy biouses
and kilted skirts which she so sensibly
is wearing notv, together with the
school uniform, should be all that sh?
will need.

Anty Drudge’s Advice tc Mr. Newlywed.
Mr. Newlywed—“ Yes, we’ve got a fine little dove cote.
But it’s one of those swell apartment houses and they
don’t allow any washing done. Won’t stand for the
smell and muss.”
Anty Drudge ‘‘Poor boy. you must be.nearly bankrupt
with big laundry bills. But, get your wife sntre
Fels-Naptha soap and she can fool the janitor. Won t
need huding water. Just use it cool or lukewarm.
Rub the clothee lightly and they’ll be like snow.”
“If I only had some place to boil them
I’d wash lots of my light clothes myself —
the laundry wears them out so fast,’ ’ said
a young woman who lives in two rooms.
Then she heard about Fels-Naptha.
Now she is washing those things her
self, without hot water, and doing it far
better than if she boiled them.
She has found out that Fels-Naptha
cleanses things more thoroughly in cool 01
lukewarm water, in little time, than if they
were boiled till Doomsday.
If you live in a room, apartments or
occupy a whole house, take a chapter out
of this young woman's experience.
Boiling is unnecessary when you use
Fels-Naptha, either in winter or summer.
All that’s needed is cool or lukewarm
water, and even a bowl or basin will do for
a few things.
Follow directions on the red and green
wrapper.

FIRST AID TO THE MEN.
Bysander john appleton
was plainly worried, and he show
ed the source of his anxiety by
casting envious looks at his wife's
youthful face and uneasy • glances at
the reflection of his own face in the
glass.
"She looks so much younger than I,"
he said, “she will finally look like my
granddaughter, and then where will I
be?”
He had an inspiration one day, and
moved with caution in acting upon it.
He looked at his wife's pink cream,
and then at the white. "I'd just as
soon,” he muttered, "dip my face in
corn starch pudding."
Then he plucked up courage and
asked her to which measure she at
tributed her success in keeping y’oung.
“To happy thoughts," she replied
"To the concentration of my mind on
the joy of hearing the birds twitter, and
seeing the tender buds burst into
bloom.”
Happy’ thoughts! It sounded easy,
but how to think them’.’
Mrs. Lysander John noting his de
sire to grow young, offered to write a
series of rules. "Nothing would please
me better,” he said, and the next even
ing, alone in his den. he read the rules
his wife had prepared.
"Wrinkles.” he read, "are deepest
when plowed by anger.
"And anger." he read on. “when it is
man's anger, is always without cause."
Lysander John scratched his head,
and wondered full five minutes. Then
he sighed, and read again
"When a man scolds about dry goods
bills it causes that disfiguring wrinkle
between the eyebrows.
“Commands that his wife spend less
give birth to a network of wrinkles
on the forehead, and many a man has
brought a premature sagging of his
throat by roaring about the price of his
wife’s hat.
Irritation because his meals are cold
takes the luster from his eyes, and
complaint that the meat is not well
done will make his cheeks flabby.
"To keep young, he should never find
fault, never scold, never sulk, never
storm: he should recognize the futility
of all emotion that is opposed to Happy
Thoughts.
"If tiie dinner is not ready on time.
he should remember that by sitting joy
fully down to read his newspaper while
he waits he will knock off five years.
If his newspaper has been torn up
by the children, or chewed up by the
Pup, he should smile in content and
read the mottoes on the wall.
"If the meat is overdone, and the po
tatoes underdone, he should remem
ber that mentioning these facts in any
other than a pleased tone will cause his
hair to turn gray and fall out.
“He should laugh blithely when the
dressmaker and the plumber”—
But Ly sander John read no more. He
felt that to be able to laugh blithely
when these occasions arose he should
rehearse, and he began to laugh.
And that was what he was still doing
w’hen his wife came home two hours
later—laughing, but it was the laugh
tef of a man whose senses had fled.
THE PRICE DROPPED.
When the motor ho-o—oted suddenly
right In his ear, Jones’ horse promptly’
bolted.
Jones hung on to the reins, and
Brown hung on to the seat. Now. Brown
was making a test trip, as he thought
of buying Jones' horse and trap for
S4OO.
On. on they went. Certainly the
horse was a goer: hut where h» was
going was quite another matter.
Dashing down a long hill, they sud
denly saw a road engine right In the
middle of the track at the bottom.
Nearer they came. It was a matter
of monipnts.
“I say, old chap.” gasped Jones
hoarsely, "when we get to th” bottom
I'll take SSO for the lot!”
