This elegant and popular monthly pc
riodical was established in Jolly, $40,
bv the union Of the ''World of Fashion"
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 ofhs fashion plates; in the
novelty, splendor and costliness OF lis
other embellishments; and in the chas-
tened tone and peculiarly refined feml-
nine character of its literary department,
it is conceded that this magazine has no
superior. Fully equal to the best three
dollar magazines in these respects, ii Is
vet but little more than half their price.
The astonishing success has induced The
publisher to begin the new year with
great and costly improvements. Accor-
dinrly ne has determined 10 employ
corps of female contributors W hose uni
ted talents are such as have never been
before employed any magazine tor the
sex. The work will not be the reflex
of any one mind. The names Of the
nermanent 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 $500 prize story, Ma
nv Derwent," and acknowledged to be
the most powerful writer of her sex IN
America. Her story Of Gamma Taylor"
in our volume for 1843, 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 ofinter-
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 criiicalreviews, or
Portraits of our Female Poets,
accompanied by autographs of each in
vidual' These will be ofgreat value, as
presenting facts all would wish to know.
The Homo Department.--To render
this Magazine as useful on the work-ta-
BILE as in the parlor, the publisher has
secured the services of an eminent au-
thor to furnish monthly-begnning with
the January number--a Home Depart
ment. in which directions for knitting
the newest styles Of lace, working Rer-
lin and Persian work and needle work,
and embroidery ofall kinds will be given
together with recipes for compounding
cakes and sweetmeats of every variety,
and in general, whatever may be useful
to The housekeeper, whether daughter,
wife or mother, to know. This depart
meni will form, at The end of the year,
volume in itself, worth twice the sub
scription price.
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. Lsn1on and Paris Fashions. Accord
ingly this department has. been. .entrust-
cd 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, in the letter-press description, TO
point out how far these costumes are
suited TO our climate, necessary eau
ton observed by no o,her coiemporary.
In word, this department v managed
thoroughly, and not used as mere
catch-penny. Nor are the plates ever
