EHRICH's FASHION QUARTERLY.
There comes to us by mail the Christ
mas number of our old friend, Ehrich's
Fashion Quarterly, full from end to end
of things for old and young, and sugges-
tive, on every page, of ways to make
Christmas pleasant, and the holiday sea-
son time of rejoicing in every truth.
The amount of Information about Christ
mas gifts the publishers have managed
to compress into the present issue of
this popular magazine Is astonishing.
Besides the usual illustrated account of
the fashions in dresses, bOnnets, &C., the
whole Christmas market is passed in re-
view, and the choicest articles of for
eign and domestic make, suitable for
presents, are illustrated and described.
The book is a complete compendium of
Christmas gifts, and happy will be the
child and wise the parent in whose
home it finds place. Every article is
lucidly described, and the prices of all
are given. The publishers announce
that they will send to each subscriber
whose subscription reaches them within
certain limited time, a copy of the
christmas Musical Album" which is
described as collection of nine pieces
of music by GOunOd, Godfrey, and 9TH
ers, specially adapted to the Christmas
season. This alone is said to be worth
the whole subscription price of the
magazine. The Fashion Quarterly is

AvenEe, New York, at 90 cents year, or
10 cents copy.
