1t has Gpassed into custom to assert that
dress is a matter Of trif1ing importance, but
his every lady knows to be false. Taste in
dress is universally felt to be the index OF
thousand desirable qualities IN woman, while
deficiency in this respect always INJURIES one
in the estimation of strangers. and even OF her
intimate friends-he beatty OF Helen and the
wit of Aspasia, would hardly commend to gen.
eral favor an acknowledged DowDY in dress
Hence the importance OF an accredited guide

himself to discharge in future in style sur.
passing all his former efforts. The Ladies

ful Fashion Plates of the Lady's Book dictate
the laws of DRESS. In future the figures will
be thrown into tasteful groups displaying the
graces of dress TO the best advantage, and the
back grounds of the plates present interesting
views designed by first rate ARTIsTJ.
As iurherlassurance OF thorough excellence
in this department, the publisher has secured
the services of MISS LESLIE, who will illus
trate the Fashion Plates, in her usual felicitous
and graphic style. uniting thorough knowl-
edge of the subject, with clear, Ineligible
and graceful manner of treating it. Her des-
criptions are 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
of such ample means Of obtaining |
the real and present Paris Fashions and of
them in advance of oil competit-
ors, that the ladies may continue, as they heve
already done, TO copy from our plates what has
the last. the newest. the best fashions, fresh |
from Paris.
The arrangements for producing a most |
brilliant and attractive series of Mezzotint and |
