OUR ELEGANT PARIS FASHION PLATES
The splendid fashion plates, with which we shall
adorn each number of "Graham" for ls46, have
already awakened the jealousy Of our cotempora-
ries, and they show their annoyance by all man.
ner OF torture OF the word "PARIs." 1t seems to
be both charm and bane to them. We have
only to say that our December number contains
specimen of what sour Paris Fashions" are and
will be- and we must ust the eyes Of the public to
detect the superior value Of those "designed, en-
graved, printed and colored al the headquarters OF
the fashionable world" 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 elegant style Of cloak patterns, and asst VIII
be issued early; say by December 10th, we advise
our fair readers not to spoil their material by fol-
lowing the blind guides Of last year, but to adopt
the true fashions for 1916.
SPLENDID EMBELLISHMENTS ~ Z.
In the department of Engravmgs, il is well
known that GRAHAM's MAGAZINE has far sur
passed any perindical work ever published in this
or any other country. The highest ambition Of
rival publishers seems thus far to have been to
maintain a respectable imitation of the numerous
costly and beautiful works Of art with which the
successive numbers of this journal have been
graced.. In the course of the succeeding volumes
many important new features will be introduced.

graver In the Union, and equal Of the best in Eu-
rope, will continue to furnish bis exquisite produc-
tions; and RAWDON, WRIGHT& & HATCH;
