LITERARY NOTES.


PETERsoN's MAGAZINE for October is unusually
brilliant, ifhe say that of magazine that is al
ways exceptionally good 1t has two colored pat
terms, speciality with It, other lady's book giving
them at all very fine steel-engraving, 1.-THE Wood
land Bath" beautifully co1ored steel plate,
with the latest styles, among others, Of wedding
dresses. There are, besides, some ffylwood-engrav
ings of fashions, patterns in embroidery, etc., ETC.
The stories, always in Peterson" all original
and all hrst-rate We note particularly "Nan,s Mas
querade," by the author of 1.-THE Second Life" Bat
the article of the NUMBER because appropriate just
now, when everybody is talking of Egypt, is one
"Cairo and the Khsdive's Harem," Illustrated with
numerous spirited engravings. We know no maga-
zine that completely fulfls all the qualifications
for ladys book; and that is the reason, doubtless
why Peterson" has had such long and enduring
popularity The low price ofthis monthly is another
thing to consider. 1t is but TWO DOLLARS a year,
much less than is asked for other Of equal merit
There is nothing "eatch-penny" about 1t. To clubs
the terms still lower. Now is the time to begin
getting up the clubs for 1888. Specimens sent,
gratis for this purpose. Address, Chas. j. Peterson
506 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, Pa.
