HIS ID oeCauSc no Otner periodical is so
exclusively mirror of woman's mind, or SO

OFTENER THAN ANY RIVAL.
During The past year we have published
more of the costly Mezzotints than any
rival, and for 1916 we shall average
Mezzotint for every number. s.The
Shipwreck," "Washington al Eighteen"
Family Chased by Wolves" and the "Cir-
casslan," are plates that never hitherto
have been surpassed; but we have some
now being engraved FAR SUPERlOR!!
Besides these, we shall give Line engrav-
lngs, Landscapes, Female Beauties,
Colored Birds and Flowers, Pictures of
Domestic Life, &c. &C., keeping ahead OF
all rivals. We shall give portrait of the
Editor, Gratis, next year. The Engravings
will be worth double the subscription price :.
FASHIONS FROM PARIS.
The Magazine has long maintained the
reputation Of giving the most correct
Fashions, accompanied by full letter press
description; and This, TO country subscr
bers especially, is great desideratum
We get our Fashions in advance from Paris,
so we can never be beaten in this depart
ment, but will always remain ahead! Each
month, from variety of Patterns, the
Fashions are selected, engraved ,and
colored for US ahead ofall rivals! To each
plate is added Il full letter press description,
besides information on all the latest styles.
The other magazines have long been
mere copyists of this one which has now
become, in our eastern cities, the Text
Book of Fashion! So energetic are we in
this department, that we have often actually
published the Fashions here before the
London Magazines. OF these assertions
we challenge denial!
