Among the Ladies' Magazines, Arthur's
HOME has, for twenty years, maintained a high
reputation. 1t is known throughout the Ian

from which it has never swerved. 1t is devot-
ed to the work of making homes beautiful, and
pure, and happy; and well has the work been
done.
The November number now before us is
very attractive. The two beautiful engravings,
"The Children's Offering" and "The Pup
pies Nursery" the last a double-page cartoon,
are works of art of high merit. The fashion
pages are full of new costumes, and the litera-
ry department rich in stories and articles suit
