mother, 10 know. This department will

Our Colored Fashions.
AS this work is intended for the boudoir.
as we'll as the domestic hearth, great pains
have been taken to secure the earliest re-
ports OF the London and Paris Fashions.
Accordingly this department has been en-
rusted to Nadine QUARRE, who receives
from her Partisan correspondents designs
in advance, enabling us to
Anticipate every Riral.
As has been done constantly during tho
past volume. But while the correct Pa
risian fashions are given, care is taken, in
the leiter-press description, to point out
how far these costumes are suited 10 our
climate, a necessary caution observed by
no other contemporary. Ia word, this
department is managed thoroughly and not
used as mere catch-peunv. Nor are the
plates ever omitted in this magazine, which
has been the only one to publish, in ls43,
ma
Unbroken Series Of Fashions.
These plates are always originally engra-
we'd for US, and not transferred, as IN other
cheap magazines, from any contempt
rary.
In the costlness, bri!Iancy, and number
of its other embellishments. this magazine
shall continue to equal the best three dol
lar magazines. The past is the best guar
antee for the future; and it is conceded by
the press that, in 1913, we have surpassed
all the others in the
Novelty of our Illustrations.
The magnificent colored engraving of
French Lilac published ia Ociober--the
mezzotnt given in July--nnd the emboss.
ed view Of West Point in the November
number are specimens Of our enterprise
on this point; for the publisher is resolved
that all which capital, taste, and the skill
ofour artists can do to embellish this work
shall be done, to render 1t universally, in
country as well as civ. ~.
The Ladies' Fdporite.
The novelty and brilliancy of our illus
trations form striking contrast TO the dull
monotony of the embellishments in other
magazines. While we give, in each num-
Der, either line or stipple engraving, or
one of Sartain's moZz ptints, we publish
invariably third plate, which is either a
co'ored flower; an arahesqne pattern;
new style for lace-work or embroidery;
colored birds; embossed landscapes, or
bouquets, colored and uncol ,red; portraits
printed in color; or others of the varied.
novel, and beautiful illustrations, design
ed especially for us by the eminent
French Artist, F. Quarre.
The line and stipplc engravings are from
the burins of our most eminent cngravers,
and done originally for this work. often
from original American Pictures. There
will be no coarse Autographs in this work,
nor worn out plates; but our engravings
shall continue 10 rival those of the best
ANIMALS. Among them
SartJin'S Glorious Mezsohnts,
Which have never been equalled in this
country, and are unattainable by every
other lady's magazine, shall fill promi-
nent place. The embossed work of Mr..
Leonard, the celebrated die. sinker, solely
engaged for this book, will also appear at
intervals.
The volume, beginning in January, 1874,
besides these great improvements, will ap-
