The Ladies' Friend.

We learn from the November number of this
New Magazine of Fashion and Literature, that
1t has already attained large circulation.
The aim efits publishers is to rival the three
dollar magazines in the quality Of their en-
cravings and contents. Thus it has given
during the present year, in every number, a
finely engraved and colored Double Fashion
Plate, while its ether numerous engrayings
are of the best quality. The long and bril-
liant array Of the literary contributors to the
Lady's Friend, nearly all Of whom are ladies,
is highly creditable to the Magazine, and also
to the country, as showing how large and cul
tivated class of lady writers it possesses
Many may wonder how any magazine can be
got up in so handsome and lavish manner
as this is, at the low price of $3.50, saying
nothing of the reduced rates TO clubs. The
publishers say that it is only done by having
very large circulation, as money would GER
tainly be lost on a small edition
Price 81 so; copies S4.O0; 9 copies SIC, 90;
81 copies $500. Single numbers sent, post
age paid, for 25 cents. 4 Seclag Machine Pre-
MUM is also giUen on certain ternte Address
Deacon & Peterson, 3l9 Walnut street, Phila-
delphIa.
Nor0 is the time TO begin making up Clubs for

provoke a smile from some, but it is from
these small sources that the great stream is
supplied that is constantly mini8tering to the

contributed material and made guilt mice

to the Journal of Commerce. saws:

to the Journal of Commerce, says:
Among the most extraordinary fancies of the regnng
bellies OF this most eccentric is the mania for dyeng
the hair ri The fair possessors of soft brown black
locks take infinite pains to change the natural color of
their resses into ugly shade of the least becoming
of all hues the dye producing dingy brownish shade
are alike coied with cura rouleaux, aud bows of red
hair the impression produced is anything but pleasant
the strongest feeling being that of wonder that any
woman of good taste voluntarily submit to such an
ugly metamorphosis. Enormous buckles are the vogue
in length several nches and of enor.
mousy vice wristbands are required to accompany the
unc ,mmonly large buckle. These Wristbands are
fashioned of silk, and made to fit the figure like short
stay small strips o whalebone are inserted between
the silk and lining. The belt is sometimes the color of
the dress but it is often fashioned of black gross grain
silk and trimmed with narrow black velvet ribbon.
