FAsHIoNs.-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 time oftheir
promigation abroad. The reason is, that 1t requlres
two weeks for the steamer to bring the fashions to this
country from London, and at least four weeks to 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
are published, it is plain that the fashions they contain
are two months behind the London, and still longer De-
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 fashions plates
' through the last volume. Now honesty compells US
+, to throw them aside; and we do SO withouta 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 avoiAed,-that above all things, no lalse
statements should be made in prospectuses and adver-
tisements. True TO this principle of action, we cast a
side the pretended fashion plates, as soon aswe can do
, so, without violating a promise ignoranIy made. AT
best, the union between literature and fashion is an un"
natural one; and certainly the Office of men-milliners
has not been found by us the most digniied and agree
liable.
In order, however, to crafty those -four lady rea-
ders who live remote from large cities, we shall proba-
bly, give every three or four monthsa plate showing
what changes have occurred in the modes ofdfess- and
&c this is about as often as any material changes do occur
q Monthly plates OF fashion are at best an absurdity. In
+ these, we shall not pretend to give London and Paris
fashions, except as they existed two months prior to the
issue OF the number of ur Magazine containing the plate
Instead of wasting time and money on such matters,
