Woman at the Gate.


Differences of opinion regarding the
meaning of the woman at the open
gate, on one of the new United States
silver pieces, are numerous. One Wri-
ter has it that she is out looking for
the children who had promised not to
'stir from the yard" another that she
is looking for the coming man anoth-
er that she came out to see the new
furniture neighbor across the road
is getting in, and so on. Of course
what it really means is that, in this
progressive twentieth century woman
is emerging from cramped' environment
into larger opportunity. There is elo-
Quent symbolism in the woman at the
open gate.-Christian Science Monitor.

A skin bleached beautifully white, a complex ion with the bloom of a beach,, soft ening of those lines of care; in fact, 8 skin eloquent of natures purity and hands white, soft and full of charm
 What girl or woman hasn't heard of lemon juice to remove complexion blemishes; to bleach the skin and to bring out the roses, the freshness and the hidden beauty? But lemon juice alone is acid, therefore irritating, and should be mixed with orchard white this way. Strain through a fine cloth the juice of two fresh lemons into a bottle containing about three ounces of orchard white, then shake we'll and you have a whole quarter pint of skin and complexion lotion at about the cost one usually pays for a small jar of ordinary cold cream. Be sure to strain the lemon juice so no pulp gets into the bottle, then this lotion will re- main pure and fresh for months. When massaged daily into the face, neck, arms and hands it should naturally help to whiten, clear, smoother and beautify theskin.
 Any druggist will supply three ounces of orchard white at very little cost and the grocer has the lemons.- Ady
