This elegant and popular monthly Pc
riodical was established in July, 1913.
by the union OF the .'World Of Fashion"
and F. Quarre's ''Artst," 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 cosrliness Of It's

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 inte r
est to the sex will find an early inser-
tion in our pages. Among other distin
gushing characteristics of this book viii
