Each issue seems to be more beautiful
than the preceding; it appears to be

20 pages of choice engravings, instead of
10 as formerly, besides a handsome
cover, yet the price, 10 cents for a sin
gle copy, or $3.50 per year, remains the
same. 1t is quite evident the publishers
are determined that Toilettes shall be the
favorite Fashion Magazine in this coun-
try, and it is just as evident that our
