a MODEL PARLok MAGAZINE For
beauty of typography, artistic engrav-
ings, and high-toned literary articles,
together with display of the Fash
ions, Demorest's Monthly Magazine is
certainly unsurpassed. The January
number, just received, in addition to
unusual holiday attractions, has fine
steel Portrait of both Mr.. and Nine.
Demorerst. The rich display of novel;
ties offered in Demorest,s Monthly
would seem to be enough to secure a
circulation sufficient to satisfy its pub
fishers, but in addition we see they
! propose to give very large and fine
engraving to each subscriber, valued
at $40. The Engraving alone would
make Il very appropriate Holiday or
Birthday gift; but when added to the
costly Picture the best Parlor Maga-
zine is included, to be a monthly re-
minder of the friendly feeling OF the
giver, there is certainly no better way
of investing 50. Address Demorest's
Monthly, 838 Broadway, n. Y.
