Il HE Ladies' Companion, established in May,
I934--a popular and highly esteemed magazine of
General Literature and the Fine Arts; embellish

BILE and popular Music, arranged for the Piano
Forte, and Guitar. "a
Since the publication of the number for Novem-
Der, the demand for the Ladies' Companion has
been unprecedented and beyond the most sanguine
anticipations. At the commencement of the vol
ume an additional number of copies were printed,
which was considered at the time adequate to sa-
tisfy all the orders which might be received, and
leave a considerable number on hand for subse-
quent calls. The publisher is more than gratiied
in stating that the whole Of an edition OF SIX thou
sand, FIVE hundred copies, was completely exhaus-
ted before the issuing of the third number OF the
volume; and, consequently, he was compelled to
reprint second edition of two thousand copies
making the circulation of the Ladies' Companion
eight thousand five hundred, at the termination OF
the tenth volume. In consequence of this great
and unparalleled increase Of new subscribers, he
has determined TO commence the new volume for
the ensuing year with thirteen thousand: hoping
that he will thus be enabled to supply all the de-
mands for the Ladies' Companion, as well as those
disappointed in commencing with the tenth vol
ume The proprietor feels grateful for that en-
couragement which has heen so lavishly bestowed
upon his magazine, ard at the same time he begs
to assure the readers of the Ladies' Companion,
that it is determined resolution TO meet it with
corresponding liberality to merit its continuance.
The work appears in beautiful new type, printed
on the finest paper; smoothly pressed, and neatly
stitched in handsome cover. ..--
The Ladies' Companion contains larger guam
tty of reading than any other magazine issued In
in this country, and It's subscription price is only
three dollars a year, while the great combination
of talent secured for the coming year will render
it unequalled by any other periodical.
Splendid Steel EngrGUsngS, prepared by MIR. A.
Dick, ornament the work--one of which accompa-
MES each number. These plates are entirely new,
and are engraved at heavy expense by one ofthe
best arststs in America, expressly tor the maga-
zine. The designs are selected with view OF In
teresting the general reader, and enhancing the
value of the work. for its superior pictorial embel
hshments. 1t is with pride the proprietor announ-
ces that the Ladies Companion is the only maga-
zine published, in which new and elegant steel
plates appear regularly. Those accompanying
other monthly periodicals. are generally first worn
out in ANIMALS. In addition to the engravings
mentioned, correct plate of the Quarterly Fash
ions for Ladies. will appear in the June, Septen1-
ber, December, and March numbers independent
of the usual establishment. 1t is the determna-
ton of the proprietor, that these fashion plates
shall appear in a style hitherto unknown. 1t lite
rary character will undergo no change, as 1t will
remain under the charge of the same Editors as
heretofore. Articles from the pens OF the most

ing numbers among which may be enumerated the
