There are many very beautiful magazines
and periodicals published at the present day,
in which great deal OF valuable Information
and instruction is impaired 10 the general
reader but we know OF none that Is at once
so much an ornament and necessity TO the
domestic circle as the new weekly periodi-
cal-Ilarper's Bazaar There is no depart
ment of fashion that Il docs not reach, aud
no information concerning the proper dress
aud toilette Of lady that il witlholds.-
Every number Is lull Of designs aud plates
of home and foreign fashion and almost all
of them in advance Of all other works. The
advantage of proof sheets from Europe being
in the hands Of the Harpers, they arc thus
prepared by early publication IN this coun-
try to enable our ladies to anticipate the
fashions and changes of the Old world, intro
ducing ihem IN our thoroughiares sinutNn-
eously with their appearance ACROSS the
ocean. Tins is quite a desidelalum to
American ladies. Besides n large and cost |
| ly chart accompanies the work tounightly, |
with full instructions for cutting, making |
and trimming each article; thus enabling
most ladies TO become practically their own
| dress makers. When we consider that |
the weekly issues of this beautiful work are
but ten cents each, or four dollars year
we wonder-not how any lady can do with
out it-but how the publishers can, even
with the fastest presses, supply the demand
sor II in timely season. Those who would
be early served should send on at once to the
Messrs. Harper, Franklin Place, New York,
and by remitting the price OF subscription
secure place as near the head of the list us
possible
