The cheap and narrow front door, "mill made," the counterpart of thou sands of Its fellows, has given place to a heavier style, which is wide and handsome, says Kate Oreenleaf Locke In the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. The "Dutch door," divided In the middle, so that the upper half can be opened While the lower portion remains closed. Is an attractive type for a cottage Where the other details of tho house correspond to it. That Is to say, If there Is a heavily beamed porch. If the house Is stained a dark color rather than painted In light tone, If there Is a wide Dutch fireplace to be found in the living room, and the windows are case ment style, a Dutch door is In order and will harmonize with Its surround ings. To Clenti Brickwork. Any brickwork rinsed off with nm rnonla and water and then carefully dried will be wonderfully brightened bar the process.
