FAsHoNs,-ExpeIience has fully satisfied us, that the
Literary periodicals as now published, cannot give au
thentic plates of fashion. LII no case is the Paris or
London fashions published by the Magazines in this
country earlier than two months from the time oitheir
promulgation abroad. The reason is, that i~trequires
TWO weeks for he steamer to bring the fashions to this
country from London, and at least four weeks 10 en-
grave, print, and color them. Here are sX weeks.
And as the Magazines are all bound up two weeks in
advance ofthe first day Of the month. for which they
arc published, it is plain that the fashions they contain

six months experience as publishers, has opened our
eyes to this matter; and nothing but our promise to do
so could have induced us to continue the fashions plates
through the last volume. Now honesty compels US

so, without v~iolatinga promise ignorantly made. At
best, the union between literature and fashion is an I'M
natural one aud certainly the Office Of men-nilliners
has not been found by us the mostdignifed and agree
able.
In order, however, to crafty those Of our lady rea-
ders who live remote from large cities, W. shall proba-

what changes have occurred in the modes ofdress-and
this is abont as often as any material changes do occur
