A CARD.

In directing the attention of their readers
to the improvements and exertions which
have been increasingly made, to elevate
The LADY'S BOOK to that station which
it now occupies, the Proprietors have in
Cured very considerable expense, which
deserves, on the subscribers part, a suitable
PunctuaIity in meeting their engagements.
To them, individually, the amount Of the
subscription is trAe, but to the proprie,
tors, it is, collectively, of the utmostimpoI-
lance; and 1t is confidently expected tina
The early transmission ofarrears, will prov"
to them that their intentions and exerton>
have not been disregarded or forgotten, BY
those for whom they have been made.
After the fsrt OF January it is the inten-
ton of the proprietors to send circulars to
all who are in arrears one year. Subscri-
hers wishing to avoid the expense of post
age, will please make payment before that
time.

the Public.
In presenting to the public the October
number of the LADY'S BOOK, the Propri-
etors feel'much pleasure in inviting atien-
ton to a comparison between it and the
preceding numbers. 1t will be perceived
that a gradual, but decided improvement.
has been effected in its embellishments.
particularly in the department Of the cos
ume offashions, which have been executed
by KELLY; an artist who, in the emhel.
lishment which accompanies this number
has literally exceled himself; rendering tn,
prints of Fashions of the LADY'S BOOK
sufficiently excellent to compete with the
best executed in London. and to surpass
those of Paris.-Hence, the public will
perceive that the hopes Of progressive i'm
|provement, which the proprietors Of the
LADY'S BOOK have expressed to their
patrons have been fully realized.
A very material change is observable in
the reading department Of the LADY'S
BOOK, which improvement will proceed,
OF. at least, be sustained, by the oxertions
gifts contributors; and, as furtherexpres-
sion of their gratitude to a patronizing COM
mnnity, the publication for January, 1884,
will contain TwENTY-FoUR ADDITIONAL PA
GEES, and the whole number will be exclu-
sively devoted to and composed of ORR
GlNAL subtects-every article written ex
pressly forthe work.

may be enumerated Miss Leslie, author Of

were held all the councils Of wal; in

whence the spirit Of rebellion was kept
alive and nourished. But the holy ia
