This elegant and popular monthly Pc
riodica was established in July, l843,
by the union Of nc 'World Of Fashion"
and F. Quarre's artist" and has a.
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 It's
other embellishments; and in the chas-
tened tone and peculiarly refined iemi-
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, II is
vet but 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 10 employ
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 a 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 $400 prize story, "Ma-
ry Derwcnt,n and acknowledged to be
the most powerful writer Of her sex in
America. Her story Of "Anna Taylor"
in our volume for 1843, 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 to the sex will find an early inser-
ton in our pages Among other dlstin-
gushing characteristics Of this book will
be a series Of criticalreviews, or


Portraits of our Female Poets,


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


The Home Department.--To render
this Magazine as useful on the workta-
bic as in the parlor, the publisher has
secured the services of an eminent au-
thor to furnish MONTH hly-begnning with
the January number--a Home Depart
meni, in which directions for knitting
the newest styles Of lace, working Ber-
lin and Persian work and needle work,
and embroidery ofal kinds will be given
together with recipes for compounding
cakes and sweetmeats 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
scrption price.


Our colorcd Fashions.-ts this work
is intended for the boudoir as we'll as the
domestic hearth, great pains have been
taken 10 secure the earliest reports OF
the Lsndon and Paris Fashions. Accord
ingly this department has been entrust-
cd 10 Madame Qnarre, who receives from
Partisan correspondents designs in ad-
vance, enabling US to anticipate every ri,
val, as has been done constantly during
the past volume. But while the correct
Partisan Fashions are given, care is
taken, in the letter-press description, to
point out how far these costumes are
suited TO our climate, necessary eau

In word, this department is managed
