Nerve Strain-
Mr. B. C. HUCKS (the well-known Flying Man), of 5, Queen's Gate Terrace, London, England, writes: "I rely must express my appreciation of Phosferine. Some time back I felt myself in a curious state of nervous tension, brought on, no doubt, by the severe strain caused by flying under all sorts of weather conditions for the Daily Mail tour. I had an idea that my nerves were becoming shaken. I was advised to try Phosferine, and was quite astonished at the beneficial effect produced by even the first few doses. I am now feeling more 'fit' than ever and ready to start upon a season's flying that promises to be considerably more arduous than the last."
No other medicine has received such absolute proof of its extraordinary properties in restoring Shattered, Constitutions, and in giving back to the prematurely aged New Life and Energy.

IRELAND AND COMPROMISE.
BIE HENDY BLAKE ON THE SITUATION,
In a letter to The Times Sir Henry Blake (a former Governor of Hongkong) writes:-
The fate of the Home Rule Bill will very soon be decided for better, for worse, and insistent in a demand for a compromise a large section of the British Press is by the temporary, or even permanent, exclusion of Ulster from its provinons the extreme sections of both parties. that it is assumed will satisfy all but

There is no doubt that pale grey is very becoming to the typical English com plexion, and, besides, it can always be relieved with colour. A very charming grey woollen material is made up over white batiste with the merest possible panier effect on both sides. The blouse accompanying it is in ninon of the same shade of grey, and the coat matches the skirt with long revers in white piqué.

FLOWER-DRESSED DOLLS."
The newest table decoration, consists of dolls with china heads and bodies dressed in Blower petals in Louis XVI, costumes, in two contrasting colours. Either the hooped skirt is in pink, the bodice and over-dress in blue, or these may be reversed. The petals are sewn closely. together on some invisible material, and the dolls, their whits and pink faces and painted coiffure of the period rising above their flowered costumes, look very quaint and pleasing; the more so as the contrast is so great with the exignity of gowns of 'to-day.
WATCHES DE LUXE,
Paris has been turning attention to the making of dainty little watches in various ingenious ways, and the smart women there can now be studded with little time. pieces all over their costume... An exquisite example of what can be done is a square pendant set in a single line of sapphires and an outer rim of small brilliants. The pendant itself is of ivory painted with a very delicate Nattier-like picture of classical girls shooting with bows and arrows in a wood. Everything is pearly and misty, and it is only on looking closely into it that ons ses the circle of the hours and two tiny golden hands marking the time..
The most serious drawback to this wonderful piece of work is the fact that by ng possible means could the weaver" over so the time, and anyone else would have to approzch within about four inches of her chin before they could read it either. Another watch, about the size of a shilling, is so thip that the rim scarcely allows of even fragments of brillianty bring set in on edge. A third is deeply embedded in a curved piece of opalescent quartz, which forms- the centre of a bracelet.
