This elegant and popular monthly pc
riodical was established IN july 1919,
bv the union Of the ''World Of Fashion
and y. Oearre's 'sArtist," and has al
readv attained the reputation IN our
GREAT cities Of the Text Book OF Fash
;on and Literature. In the correctness
md beaUIy or lis faonton plates, in tho
noveItv. soIendor and costllness OF ITS
other embellishments; and in the chas-
tened tone and peculiarly rehned lent
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, 1t IS
vel bnt little more than hallth price.
The astonishing success has induced the
publisher TO begin the new year with
great and costly improvements. Accor-
dinoly ne has determined 10 employ
corDs q female contributors whose UNI
ted talents.are such as have never been
before employed any magazine 'or .he
sex. The work VIII not oe tic len1N
of any one mind. The names OF the
permanent contributors are guarantee
for the variety, talent and worth oi our
nages for 1914. Ours will be the only
Maaazine sustained by the sex:


The editorial department will still re-
main with Mrs. Ann S. Stephens, author
or the celebrated $500 prize story, "Ma-
rv Derwent.'' and acknowledged TO be
the most powerful writer OF her sex IN :,
America. Her story Of "Anna Taylor
in our volume for 1643, has had an as
tonishinr run, and will be followed by
others more thrilling. Assisted by her
s;s,er authors. she will be enabled to
make this book surpess all others lnieho-
ed for the ladies'. Every thing OF inter
est to the sex will find an early lnser-
ton in our pages. Among other dist'n-
gushing characteristics OF this book wifi
be a series Of fcriticalrevlews, 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 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 of all 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,
a volume in itself, worth twice the sub
scription price.


Our coiored Fashons.-As this work
is intended for the boudor as well as the
domestic hearth, great pains have been
taken to secure the earliest reports of
the Lsnton and Paris Fashions. Accord
ingly this department has been entrusi-
cd to Madame Quarre, 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
ton observed, by no other cotemporary.
In word, this department is managed
thoroughly, and not used as mere
catch-penny. Nor are the plates ever
