This elegant and popular monthly Pc
radical was established in July, l8l3,
bv the union OF the ''World ofFashlon' .
and F. Ouarre's ''Artist," and has al
ready attained the reputation IN our
qreat cities of the Text Book Of Fash
;nn and Literature In the correctness
and beauty Of It's fashion plates; IN the
novelty, splendor and costliness OF lis
other embellishments; and IN the chas-
tened tonesand peculiarly refined ielnI-
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, 1t Is
vet but little more than halttheir price.
The astonishing success has induced the
ublisher TO begin the new year with
treat and costly improvements. Accor-
dmoly ne has determined 10 employ
corns or female contributors whose uni
ted talents are such ashave never been
before employed any magazine Tor the
sex. The work will not be the reflex
Of anv one mind. The names oil the
nermanent contributors are guarantee
for the variety, talent and worth OF our
nnoes 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 prlze story, "Ma-
nv Derwent,'' and acknowledged 10 be
the most. powerful writer Of her sex IN
America, Her s.ory Of Gamma Taylor

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 inter

tionin our pages. Among other distin-
gushing characteristics Of this book will

The Home Department--To render

the January number--a Home Depart

the newest styles of lace, working Ber-
lin and Persian work and needle work.
and embroidery orall kinds will be given
together with recipes for compoundlng
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 Fashions.--As this work
is intended for the boudoir as well as the
domestic hearth, great pains have beer
taken TO secure the earliest reports o
the Lsndon and Paris Fashions. Accord

Partisan correspondents designs in ad
