to the ladies, and will be issued in a
style never before attempted in the
country. It will contain articles
from the most popular and pleasing
writers Of the day, on every variety
of subject, but the work will be in
the main devoted to the cultivation
ofthe home virtues. Hence most OF
the stories will be of a practical, do

our best female writers, while the
earliest fashions I n all their varieties
shall be correctly given; so as to
make the work welcome at every
fire side, in the halls of the fashiona-

of incalculable advantage. 1t is pro-

put to the blush every thing in the
way of monthly reports of the Fash

try and in Europe. prior 10 COM
