and over the extensive grounds
about it, and very soon DR.. Kramer
led me away from the patients in the
winter garden and was showing me
the fine spots in the park.
This was indiscreet of him-one Of
the symptoms OF his surrender. We
passed through private gates used
only by the doctors and nurses, we
wandered close to the house and far
from it. At every angle of the high
hedges there were tall gates which
DIR. Kramer opened with a key. And
there wasn't a loophole through which
a guest" larger than an Irish terrier
could crawl! This was discouraging
but it was knowledge needed.
Finally we paused beneath the win
dows of my own suite which was on
the second floor Of the building. For
the first time noticed that the bath
room opened on the service drive of
the institution. The kitchens and eel
lars were in wing near by but I
hadn't seen them because my bath
room windows were fillew with orna-
mental colored glass.

The Wide, Open Heart

v
This is the heart which sins the
oftenest-which is always open to new
convictions and always ready for new
persuasions. Many a young girl falls
under the influence Of some one who
sways in a wrong direction and
through very lovableness goes down
in a deep. blue, oh so wildly blue, sea
OF sorrow. Mothers who have daugh4
ters who are lovable and impulsive
may rightfully watch them very close
ly. These are the girls with wide,
open hearts who some day develop
characters so very beautiful that
wherever they go the radiance Of an
exceptionally charming personality in
all directions. It is not always the
man or woman who remains close in
the narrow pathway who makes the
most Of himself in the end. Some
times the straying over to the broad,
fascinating road teaches soonest the
folly Of unwise ways. Very often those
who are narrow and small souled and
unlovely have never committed sin
according to the dictionary meaning
Of the word. And quite frequently the
man who understands the word
through actual temptation and falling,
acquires depth OF rare understand
ing and sympathy which makes him
wondrously alive and real. The wide,
open heart often suffers disaster and
sadness; but oh how much such a
heart learns of the beautiful things in
life, things forever closed to the small,
narrow man or woman who treads
YEARLY along seeing neither to the
right nor to the left-missing the
roses as we'll as the thorns, most Of
the sunshine as we'll as the storms,
and thinks himself well repaid.
