Peterson's Magazine for February is
before us, as varied and interesting as
ever, and we could hardly bestow higher
praise. There is never any falling off in
this favorite periodical, no show NUM-
bers, and no unfulflled promises. It's
serials and short stories are of the first
order of merit, its fasion department al.
ways presents the prettiest and freshest
of Partisan novelties, and its numerous
steel and wood engravings are invariably
artistic in design and finish. Long years
of unexampled success and prosperity
have thoroughly established its position
and, as it yearly offers greater and more
striking attractions, it runs no risk, even
in this age of competition, of losing one
iota of its hold on public favor. Terms
Two dollars a year, with great reduc
tons to clubs. Address Peterson's Mag
azine, 3O6 Chestnut street, Philadelphia,
