The LADIES' COM PANION, established
in May, 1888 popular and highly esteemed
magazine of General Literature and the Fine
Arts embellished with gorgeous and costly en-
cravings on Steel, and the Quarterly Fashions;
and also with fashionable and Popular Music,
arranged for the Piuno.Forte, Harp and Guitar.
Since the publication Of the number for No.
vember, the demand for the Ladies' Companion
has been unprecedented and beyond the most
sanguine anticipalons. Al the commencement
Of the volume an additional number Of copies
were printed which was considered at the time
adequate to satisfy all the orders which might be
received, and leave considerable number on
hand for subsequent calls. The publisher is
more than grati6ed in stating that the whole Of
an edition of SIN Thousand, Five Hundred Cop
ies was completely exhausted before the isstl-
ing ofthe third number of the volume; and,
consequently, he was compelled to re>priEt a
Second Edition of Two thousand copies, maxi
ing the circulation of the Ladies' Companion
! Eight thousand five hundred, at the termination
Of the Tenth Volume.
In consequence ofthis great and unparalleled
increase of new subscribers, he has determined
to commence the new volume for the ensuing
year, with THIRTEEN THOUSAND: hops
ing that he will thus be enabled TO supply all the
additional demands for the ladies Companion,
as well as those disappointed in commencing
with the tenth volume. The proprietor feels
grateful for that encouragement which has been
| so laVishLy bestowed upon his magazine, and at
| the same time ho begs TO assure the readers OF
the Ladies' Companion that il is his determin-
ed resolution to meet it with corresponding
liberuliIy to merit its continuance. The work
