and is illustrated with profusion of illus
trations, which leaves little lacking The
May number, for instance, which is before US
instead of some ten or dozen illustrations,
like many the Ladies Magazines, has about
hundred, including large steel engraved
and colored fashion plate, and broad sheet
of embroidery and dress patterns Of fuH size.
