FAsHIoNsy-ExPeTience has fully satisfied us, that the
Literary periodicals rs now published, cannot give au
thentic plates of fashion. In 10 case is the Paris or
London fashions published by the Magazines in this
country earlier than two months from the time oftheir
PRONUNCIATION abroad. The reason is, that it Tequiies
two weeks for the steamer to bring the flsht,ns to this
country ftom London, and at least four weeks to en-
grave, print, and color them. Here are ssx weeks.
And as the Magazines arc all bound up two weeks in
advance ofthe first day of the month. Tor which they
are published, it is plain that the fashions they contain
are two mouths behind the London, and still longer be-
hind the Parisstylcs.
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 compells us
to thr ow them aside; and we do 50 without a moments
hesitation. In commencing the publication n Of this
work, it was the express agreement among the partie:
concerned, that all mere pretenS,on and humbng should
be studiousiy ayoided that above all things, no false
statements should be made in prospectuses and advor
tiscments. True 10 this principle otaction, we cast a.

natural one; and certainly the Office of men-miiliners
hasnot been found BY US the most digniled and agree.

In order, however, to CRAFTY those ofour lady rca

Monthly plates Of fashion are at best an absurdity. Ii

Instead Of wasting time and money on such matters
