In announcing to his numerous patrons and the
pubhc at large his arrangements for the year 1912

TO acknowledge the unparalleled and triumphant sue
cess OF ms Magazine, which has reached the ex-

being larger edition than has ever been printed of
any other work OF any description in America. This
success he is has been attained by the vast SUI
periority which the Lady's Book has always main
tanned over the contemporary magazines which have
attempted to rival its merits, superiority which he
still determined to preserve by keeping it, in all its
departments, literary, intellectual and moral as well
as pictorial, emblematic, artistic, and mechanical
That this is no idle boast he appeals the experience

Mrs Lydia ii. Sigourney, and Miss f. Leslie ladies
OF whom not only their own SEX but the whole coun-
try, have reason to be proud. In this respect the
adys Book enjoys decided advantage over all other
publications, as it is the only work devoted to ladies'
which ladies dlrecan advantage, which must be OBJ
vious to every parent, husband brother and friend
as well as to every lady who properly appreciates the
dignity and Importance to her sex To add to its sl

If distinction; some of whom have already published
the Lady's Book the only original contributions they
rave ever made to Amer lean literature Nor has he
omitted procure the assistance of eminent writers
IF the other sex. Aware of the universal and we'll
deserved popularity Of N. p. WILLIS Esq, and conf
lent that the productions of his graceful and elegant
pen will be highly acceptable to the readers of the
.ady's Book, the proprietor has entered into ar
-angement, by which he will be able to give in each
number of his work exclusive article from that gen
leman and he has also retained all of the contri-
,utors whose writings have heretofore given such am
Die satisfaction; including w. G.. Smms, Esq, Pro-
