The new Fashion Journals La Mode, La
| Mode de Paris and -Albunl DeS Modes, pub
| Iished by \. Mcdowell Il Co., West 14th
Street, New York, are the most elegant of
their kind ever brought to our notice. The
| styles are drawn by the best artists; and the
/ books are produced by rival houses in Paris,
| each trying to excel the other in the charac-
| ter of its publications. Formerly they were
printed only in French; but they are now
published in English for the use OF AmerI-
can readers. These journals furnish the
styles one month IN advance # any similar
! publications; and they have practical de-
partment, in which lessons are given each
month on how to make dresses, etc. The
| admirable fashions, the lessons in dressmak-
ing, and the giving of the styles one month
earlier than heretofore are strong points in
favor of these Fashion Books, causing them
| to be called 1.-The Favorites." These excel
/ lent publications can be obtained from all
newsdealers.
