is already on our table, as rich in beauty and
variety as any Of its preceding numbers. A
hasty examination satisfies us that the claims

tanned. First we have the exquisite plate Of

beautiful colored fashou-pate containing
seven figures; another extension fashion con-
taus four figures IAN April shower a
seasonable engraving; then seven more fg-
ures Of spring fashions "Costume and Por-
trait Of the Prince Royal Of France and a
variety Of other very useful aud ornamental
engravings. Drawing Lessons, Model Cot

worth at least one years subscription.
