DRESSING. IN ,,uu ,arE.
American ladies, especially in larger
cities and towns, are becoming noted for
their good taste in dress. This is largely
due to the fact that they secure the best
fashion journals published, and by a
careful study OF them they get correct
ideas upon the all-important subject OF
dress. Any lady can cultivate her taste
in this direction if she will only go to the
trouble OF comparing the styles found in
the reliable fashion journals published
by A. Mcdowell 4 Co.. '"st 18th ST.,
\. Y, with those appearing in other
fashion magazines. Those issued by a.
Mcdowell 4 Co. are produced only by
the best artists, and for the most part
plain, and in every respect practical The
others are generally very loud or dOwdy,
and thoroughly unsuitable for the re-
quirements of American women. The
firm of A. Mcdowell & Co. seeks to fur
nish ladies with genuine French styles,
such as can be used without any danger
of appearing ridiculous. Hence their fash
ion journals are now t'ie faVOrlteS with
all ladies of good taste throughout the
country. La Mode do l}:i';,; gives the latest
French styles. -iNsnl G!,i hiodts furnishes
styles which are popular in Paris. La
Modes gives a selection CT styles which
are servceable to the family The two
