ART DEPARTMENT..
The enthusiastic support So readily accorded
duced. has convinced the publishers Of TIE
ALDfNE Of the soundness ot their theory that
the American public would recognize and heart
lily support any sincere effort Ia elevate the tone
and standard of illustrated publications. That
so many weakly wicked sheets exist and thrive
is not evidence that there Is mn market for anv-
thing better indeed the success of THE Al
DINE from the start is direct proof Of the con-

varied taste, publisher can choose his patr ms,

American taste in competit IN with any existing
publication in the world.

Where so much attention is paid to ilIustra-
