A Stocking Bag.

A stocking bag is a convenient article to have about the house—a receptacle into which co all the stockings brought from tho laundry that need darning, there to rest until made ready for the

dresser drawers. The basket shown in the sketoh has a wicker standard tinted a bright red. ,i?

The sides are covered with scarlet denim arranged in bag shape, with a wide frill finishing the top. Full knots of soarlet satin ribbon set off the sides. A durable material such as denim is by far the best to use, as the dark stockings are apt to soil it.

Wreaths In the Hair.

Ornaments for the hair—feathers, flowers and even ribbons—will be more largely used this season than they have been for years. A small wreath of violets around the small loose khot in the back and tied at the top with green moire ribbon, with the loops and ends standing well up from the coiffure, makes a pretty addition to a rather Bcant twist of hair. The combination of feathers and flowers is a favorite one foot small theater bonnets and for a finish to the coiffure with evening toilets.

Weak Men and Women will be Glad to Learn This. Tired bodies, pale and sunken cheeks, haggard eyes, sleepless nights and weak nerves, are ruining our lives and killing our people. No wonder these poor sufferers bless Dr. Greene for bis great offer. He is the

moBt

successful specialist in curing

nervous and chronic diseases and the disooverer of that wonderful medicine, Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy. He has established a system of letter correspondence at his office, 85 west Fourteenth street, New York City, by which all can write him about their complaints, and by mentioning the symptoms they suffer from and telling him how they feel, they! will receive an answer from him, free of charge, giving a complete description of their case and telling just what ails them. He gives most careful attention to every letter, tells just what to do to be cured perfectly and permanently, and makes all understand exactly what their complaint is. And all this costs nothing. No journey to the city, no doctor's fee, the best medical advice and consultation in the world, -and nothing to pay. The doctor makes a specialty of treating patients through letter correspondence, and it is wonderfully successful. Write him at once, reader, and you will almost certainly be made strong and well.
