The LADY's FRIEND, FOR JULY,

zine opens with Steel Plate of unu-
sual interest and beauty-a lovely Gin
derelIa, sitting sad and neglected by the
kitchen fire, her naughty sisters dis
appearing through the doorway. The
Colored Fashion Plate, as usual, is an
elegant and faithful transcript of the
prevailing modes; and the wood cuts,
illustrating articles OF dress, and teach
ing fancy work, must be of great val
ue to the ladies. The Music, kiss the
Little Ones for Me-" looks the kind of
song to be popular. The literary en-
tertainment is furnished by Elizabeth
Prescott, Miss A. L. Muzzey, Auber
| Forester, Frank Lee Benedict, III. S.
Corey, Mrs. Henry Wood, &c. The
instructions for making Phantom Bou

times over the cost of the number. A
