Symbolic Gateways.
Gateways are distinctly dividing
links, If one can use such a term, be
tween the unknown and undeslniblo
outside world, with an Intlmnte,
friendly and much-to-be-deslred Insldo
world or garden, says the Touchstono
Magaslne. The hidden beauty of that,
which the gate guards Is always lndl
cnted even on the bnrren outside. Such
a hint of loveliness within gives care
less passersshy the deslro to go whero
beauty or opportunity dwells, it R ftl
suggestion of nil tho unknown won
ders that dwell Just beyond where ono'
stands. It Is a symbol of something!
that must bo opened by knowiedgo on
passed through by experience.
