MISS KATE SANBoRN, the well-known

THE Dorcas for September has been re-
ceived, and we find it steadily improves.
The editor IA woman of great ability and
the publishers strive to please their pa
irons and spare no expense to fill its pages
with good and thorough instructions in
knitting, crocheting and embro derry. All
the designs that are not original come
from abroad, thus making it a mag zine
worth having in every household, as the
same directions are not found elsewhere,
and ell will be found explicit and correct.
In each number we find new move ties in
every line OF fancy work, and have de-
cided that D0rcds is the best magazine of
its kind in existence. Its subscription
price is only 81 per year and 10 cents for
a single copy. We advise all to send for
the latter without fail. Address, DO, cas-
S72 Broadway, New York.

OF readers. The fear exr. .ussed that il

Tue proi lem OF publishing such magasine

OF the great labor question, and presents
many Of its problems in light especially
