The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1869-10-30

The EngltshDonldn's Domestic Magazine
has just introduced into its columns depart
ment called The Exchange whereby its sub
scribers may advertise such of their superfluous
articles as they may wish to exchange for some
body ese's supernuities. The London fashion
newspaper, called The Queen, has long possessed

newspaper has adopted the idea, our readers
