be Expended to the Best Advantage.
The first thing that strikes the attention
on opening the summer number of StGaobridge
d. ClOthier's Quarterly, just at hand from the
publishers, Strawbridge u Clothier, Phila-
delphia, Is the number and style OF the
illustrations 1t contains. On every page ex-
cellent pictures are given that clearly explain
the letter press instructions; so that the
articles will not fail TO benefit those for
whom they are prepared. A glance at the
table of contents for summer, would lead
one to suppose that the date of publication
was mid-winter, when long evenings give
plenty of time to do justice 20 the excellent
and long lists of articles on fashion home art,
and domestic economy

made millinery, dress ornamentation, and
the art of mending, treat of useful and or
namental matters that the feminine folks
are deeply interested in. What / know
about keeping one COW, is a second install

WIFE, that may be read with profit by those
who are In circumstances to follow her ad-
vice; and be read with envy by all others.
To all those who are nimble with the ne die,
and value their own work above the ready
made article, this number will keep busy
for three months. Some of these notions
are: sofa Gus lion cover ,needleworked towel,
covers new German tidy fancy work basket,

and clearly illustrated. The more ambi
tious home decorators will fLd in tile
painting, charcoal sketches and photo cray
ons enough to tax their artistic skill. The
original design for vestibue is worthy of
reproduction by either the amateur or thr
professional fresco painter. Alter telling

business conducted on large scale; to give
distant customers the opportunity to avail
themselves of the latest styles and the low
est prices.
