Fashion Plate which serves as its 'front.'
ispiece. The plate contains sixteen
figures, illustrating the approved novel;
ties in costumes, wraps, cloaks and mil
linery for the fall and winter. A FASH
ion magazine should always be before
hand with its account of the novelties
of a season, in order to be of service in
aiding women in making up their ward
robes; and it is this feature which has
always made the Domestic SO popular
and successful. Among the articles of
interest this month are "Street Dress
es, ""House Dresses, Wraps" mil
llnery," and long chapter OH "Chil-
dren's Costumes"
The literary department has made n
name for itself by its excellence, and
this months banquet is as varied and
entertaining as those that have preced-
ed. Mrs. Cashel Hoey's novel, "The
Lovers Creed" is drawing to a close,
and il proves to be one of the best nov
els written during the past few years.
There are short stories, poems and
travel sketches by popular authors.
The illustrations are especially note
worthy, and the editorial departments
are well filed. Mrs. Beecher gives
some timely recipes. The Domestic is
constantly offering surprises to its read
ers in the way of improvements, and
this month it is improved paper which
adds TO the attractions of the number.
The Domestic Monthly is published at
853. Broadway, corner Fourteenth

teal information, are sent.

THUS far this season Minnesota has es-
capped the visitations of the terrible cy-
clone, but, as the saying is, she has es-
capped "by the skin of her teeth" the
revolving destroyer having played all
around US. In the early summer re-
gions to the immediate south of us had
several visitations, and more recently
to the west and east they have been
annoyed by it. 1t is an occasion for q
sigh of relief, for in what form can
death and destruction come that is
more dreadful than the appearance of
this whirling, all-powerful, myster-
ious DESTROYER.
