good things. No lady should be with

adorn home and make it beautiful by
instructing the hands as well as the
mind and heart. Every man who
loves his home should see to it that his
wife, mother, daughter, OF sister, is
provided with this progressive maga-

all others, and besides the magazine
itself, which is all that could be de-
sired, a coupon is found in every num-
Der ontitling the holder to a selection
OF any pattern in that number, and of
any size. \ subscriber may thus get
patterns to fit to the amount of $500

Dsm0rest'S can offer this.
