The LADY'S BOOK TO that station which
1t now occupies, the Proprietors have in
Cured very considerable expense, which
deserves, on the subscribers part, suitable
punctuallty IN meeting their engagements.
10 them, individually, the amount of the
subscription is a tri1e, but to the proprie.

have not been disregarded or forgotten, by
those for whom they have been made.
After the fisrt OF January it is the inten
ton of the proprietors to send circulars to
all who are in arrears one year. Suhscri-
bers wishing to avoid the expense of post
age, will please make payment before that
time.
In addition to the plan originally proposed,
