FAsHoNs.-Experience has fully satisfied us, that the
Literary periodicals as now published, cannot give au
thentic plates of fashion. In no case is the Paris or
London fashions published by the Magazines IN this
country earlier than two months from the tune oil their
Ipromulgation abroad. The reason is, that 1t requlIes
Two weeks for the steamer to bring the fashions to 'hls
country from London, and at least four weeks to en-
grave, print, and color them. Here are SSH weeks
And as the Magazines are all bound up two weeks IN
advance Ofthe first day of the month. for which he.y
are published, it is plain that the fashions they contain
are two mouths behind the London ana sui longer O-
hind the Paris styles.
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 mSIllOnS plates
through the last volume. Now honesty compells us
to throw them aside; and we do 50 without a moments
hesitation. In commencing the publication of this
work, it was the express agreement among the parties
concerned, that all mere pretension and humbng should
be studiously ayoiaed,-thata above all things, no false
statements should be made in prospectuses and adyer-
tisements. True to this principle oraction, we cast a
side the pretended fashion plates, as soon as we can do
so, without violating promise ignoranuy made. AT
best. the union between literature and fashion is an un-
natural one ;and certainly the office of men-mililners
has not been found by us the most dignifed and agree
able.
In order. however, to crafty those Of our lady rea-
J ders who live remote from large cities, we shall prooa-
bly, give every three or four monthsa plate showing
what changes have occurred in the modes Of dress and
this is about as often as any material changes do occur.
Monthly plates of fashion are at best an absurd1ty. In
these, we shall not pretend to give London ard Paris
fashions, except as they existed two months piior to the
issue OF the number Of ur Magazine containing the plate
Instead of wasting time and money on such matters,
we will devote more attention, and eXnend more Judl-
ciously our means inhigher order Embellishments and

intrinsic and permanent excellence,
