This elegant and popular monthly pc
riodical was established in July, l843,
by the union Of the "World of ofFashion"
and f. Ouarre's ''Artist,n and has al
ready attained the reputation in our
great cities Of the Text Book of Fash
ion and Literature. In the correctness
and beauty Of lis fashion plates; in the
novelty, splendor and costliness of lis
other embellishments; and in the chas-
tened tone and peculiarly refined femi-
nine character of lis literary department,
it is conceded that this magazine has no
superior. Fully equal to the best three
dollar magazines in these respects, il is
yet bat little more than halftheir price
The astonishing success has induced the
publisher to begin the new year with
great and costly improvements. Accor-
dinghy ne has determined TO employ a
corps o female contributors whose uni
ted talents are such as have never been
before employed any magazine for the
sex. The work will not be the reflex
of any one mind The names of the
permanent contributors are guarantee
for the variety, talent and worth OF our
pages for 1914. Ours will be the only
Magazine sustained by the sex.


The editorial department will still re-
main with Mrs. Ann S. Stephens, author
of the celebrated $500 prize story, "Ma-
~ry Derwent,n and acknowledged to be
the most powerful writer of her sex in
America. Her s.ory OF .'Anna Taylor"
in our volume for 1913, has had an as
tonishing run, and will BE- followed by
others more thrilling. Assisted by her
sister authors, she will be enabled to
make this book surpass all others intend
ed for the ladies. Every thing ofinter
est 10 the sex will find an early inser-
tionin our pages. Among other distin-
gushing characteristics of this book will
be series of criicareviews, or


Portraits Of our Female Poets,


accompanied by autographs Of each in
yidual. These will be ofgreat value, as
presenting facts all would wish 10 know


The Home Department.-To render
this magazine as useful on the work-ta-
BILE as in the parlor, the publisher has
secured the services of an eminent au-
thor to furnish monthly beginning with
the January number--a Home Depart
ment, in which directions for knitting
the newest styles Of lace, working Ber-
lin and Persian work and needle work,
and embroidery ofaIl kinds will be given
together with recipes for compounding
cakes and swee;meats of every variety,
and in general, whatever may be useful
TO the housekeeper, whether daughter,
wife or mother, to know. This depart
ment will form, at the end of the year,
volume in itself, worth twice The sub
scriptlon price.
