Our ELEGANT PARIS FASHION PLATES.
The splendid fashion plates, with which we
shall adorn each number Of "Graham" for
lS46, hayo already awakened the jealousy
Of our cotemporaries, and they show their
annoyance by all manner of torture of the
word "PAR1s." 1t seems TO be both charm
and bane to them. Wo have only TO say
that our December number contains spec-
men of what "Our Paris Fashions" are and
will be, and we must trust the eyes of tho
public TO- detect tho superior value of these,
''desigHsd, engraved, printed and colored at
the headquarters Of the fashionable Dorldy
over the vapid limitations, which are got up
here at least sixty days old, and palmed off
as correct In January We shall have most
elegan, style of cloak patterns, and as twill
be issued carly, say by December 10th, wo
advise our fair readers uot TO spoil their ma
tcrial by following the blind guides Of last
year, but to ADOPT THR TRUE FASHIONS yon
