This elegant and popular monthly pc
rodical was established in July, l843,
by the union of the 'sWorld 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 Of lis fashion plates; in the
novelty, splendor and costliness Of its
other embellishments; and in the chas-
tened tone and peculiarly refined lemi
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, il is
vet 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 $500 prize story, "Ma-
nv Derwent," and acknowledged TO be
the most powerful writer Of her sex in
America. Her story Of sAnna 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 ofinter-
est to The sex will lind an early inser-
ton in our pages. Among other distin-
gushing characteristics of this book will
be series fcriticalrevews, or
Portraits of our Female Poets,
accompanied by autographs of each in
