~ODEY,S LADY,S BOOK havi

NODEY'S LADY'S BOOK having been for
Tso long series of years, universally recogni-
zed as the exclusive and indispGtabe guide TO the
fair sex, in matters Of taste, fashion, and litera-
tare-th9 only work conducted by distinguished
female authors, who have won for themselves
high place among the guiding spirits of the age
the only work which in point of fact has been ex-
clasivey devoted 10 the ladias-its favor with its
fair patrons has not been less remarkable than its
perfect adaptation to their feelings and tastes and
their requirements. In entering upon new year,
the publisher, without diminishing in the least that
sterling and useful literature, which has so long re-
suited from laying under contribution the native
good sense and elegant fancy of our American Fe-
male writers, will, as each successive number ap-
pears present in the several departments of Liter
atlre, Fashion, and Pictorial Establishment,
constant and ever VARYING succession of new and
striking features Nor does he promise without
ample ability to perform. The best literary tai
ent the best efforts of the most distinguished artists
in the country-and, to crown as well as adorn the
whole, tho most perfect arrangements for the re-
cep1ion of the American, London and Paris ash
Ions, far in advance of any other publication IN
this country, enable him to assure the patrons OF
the LADY'S BOOK that the forthcoming volume
will more than justify its well canned title OF the
Magazine of Magazines for the ladies of our
country.
1t has passed into custom to assert that dress is
matter of trifing importance, but this every lady
knows TO be utterly false. Taste in dress is uni
versaly feltto be the index of thousand desirable
qualities in woman, while a deficiency in this res
pect always Injuries one in the estimation Of ssran-
gers, and even of her Intimate friends--the beauty
of Helen and the wit of Aspasia, would hardly
commend to general favor an acknowledged DowDY
in dress. Hence the importance Of an accredited
guide to the Fashions.
This useful office, already filed for fourteen
years, with universal acceptance, by the Lldy's
Book, the publsher pledges himselfto discharge in
future, in style surprising all his former efforts.
The ladies know perfectly we'll that our Magazine
is the highest authority in Fashion.
No lady considers herself we'll dressed who con-
tTavencs this authority, and, in city, in n.
York, Boston, Baltimore, Cincinnati, Louisville,
Lexington, St. Louis, New Orleans, Mobile, Rich
mond, Charleston, Savannah, and the other metrop-
olitan cities of the various States, the tasteful
Fashion Plates of the Ladys Book dictate the laws
ofdress.
As further assurance of thorough excellence in
this department, the publsher has secured the SER
vices of Miss LESLIE, who will illustrate the
Fashion Plates, in her usual feIcitous and graph
&c style, uniting thorough knowledge of the SUBJ
lect, with clear, graceful and Ineligible man
nor of tTea tingis. Her descriptions worthy of
the productions Of her own glowing pencil, which
drew the earliest Fashion Plates for the Lady's
Book.
The publishers correspondent in Paris is pos
scssed Of such ample means of obtaining the real
and present Paris Fashions, ard of transmitting
1nrin advance of all competitors, thatthe ladies
may continue, as they have always done, to copy
from plates what has received the sanction of
indispulabe ton, the last the newest the best fash
ions, fresh from Paris.
