This elegant and popular monthly pc
riodical was established in July, l843,
by the union Of the "World Of Fashion"
and F. Quarre's "Artist," 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 IFS fashion plates: in the
novelty, spendor and costliness of It's
other embellishments; and in the chas-
tened tone and peculiarly refined ieml-
nine character OF its literary department,
it is conceded that this magazine has no
superior. Fully equal to the best three
dollar magazines in these respects, II Is
yet 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 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 a guarantee
ior 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
nv Derwent," and acknowledged TO be
the most powerful writer Of her sex ir
America. Her story Of Gamma Taylor
in our volume for 1843, has had an as
tonishing run, and will be followed BY
others more thrilling. Assisted by hel
sister authors, she will be enabled tt
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 distin
gushing characteristics of this book will
be a series Of criticalreviews, or
