GoDEY's LADY's Book FoR OcToB Err --Of all the
monthly magazines there is, perhaps, none that
maintain better standard of general merit than
Godey's; and Of this the October number, now be-
fore US, Is an exemplifcation Among the pictorial
embellishments is one that awakens many serious
thoughts. II is entitled "Ihe Hearts, ResOiUe,"
the illustration being the opening line of the fa-
miliar song, can ye shall walk in silk ATTIRE
But the fair damse TO whom this is addressed shows
by her sad but resolue look that the sillr attire
and the "siller" she may "hae to spare" cannot
for moment shake her purpose. The picture is
accompanied by suitable story.
The fashions, cottage architecture, music, and
some gems of poetry, add to the attractiveness of
this sterling periodical,
Published at Philadelphia by Louis A. Cooley
edited by Mrs. Sarah J. Hale.
