This elegant and popular monthly pc
riodcal was established in July, 1843,
by the union of the 'sWorld ofFashion''
and F. Quarre's "Artist," and has al
ready attained the reputation in our
great cities of the Text Book Of Fash
ion and Literature. In the correctness
and beauty of lis fashion plates; in the
novelty, splendor and costliness of its
other embellishments; and in the chas-
tened~tone and peculiarly refined femi-
nine character of lis literary de pm rtmant.
it is conceded that this magazine has no
superior. Fully equal to the best three
dollar magazines in these respects, il is
yet but little more than halftheir price
The astonishing success has induced the
publisher to begin the new year with
great and costly improvements. Accor-
dinghy ne has determined to employ a
corps o female contributors whose uni
ted talents are such as have never been
before employed any magazine for the
sex. The work will not be the reflex
of any one mind. The names of the
permanent contributors are guarantee
for the variety, talent and worth of our
pages for 1914. Ours will be the only
Magazine sustained by the sex.
The editorial department will still re-
main with Mrs. Ann S. Stephens, author
Of the celebrated 800 prize story, "Ma-
ry Derwent," and acknowledged TO be
the most powerful writer of her sex in
America. Her s;ory.of Gamma Taylor''
in our volume for 1913, has had an as
tonishing run, and will be followed by
others more thrilling. Assisted by her
sister authors, she will be enabled to
make this book surpass all others intend
ed for the ladies. Every thing of inter-
est to the sex will find an early inser-
tionin our pages. Among other distin-
gushing characteristics of this book will
be a series Of criticalreviews, or
Portraits of our Female Poets,
accompanied by autographs of each In
yldual. These will be ofgreat value, as
presenting facts all would wish to know.
The Home Department.-To render
this Magazine as useful on the work-ta-
bic as in the parlor, the publisher has
secured the services of an eminent au-
thor to furnish Notwithstanding with
the January number--a Home Depart

together with recipes for compoundng
cakes and sweetmeats of every variety,
and in general, whatever may be useful
to the housekeeper, whether daughter,
wife mother, to know. This depart
ment will form, at The end of the year.

Our colored Fashions.-.As this work.
is intended for the boudoir as well as the
domestic hearth, great pains have been
taken to secure the earliest reports Of
the Lsnion and Paris Fashions. Accord
lngly this department has been entrnst-
ed to Madame Quarre, who receives from
Partisan correspondents designs in adj
vance, enabling US to anticipate every ri.
val, as has been done constantly during
the past volume. But while the correct
Partisan Fashions are given, care is
taken, lnlhe letter-press description, TO
point out how far these costumes are
suited TO our climate, a necessary eau

In word, this department is managed
thoroughly, and not used as a mere
catch-penny. Nor are the plates ever
