UNSURPASSED In ITS WAY
Nomaa's Edition of The Times Lit
erary Luxury and Noble Charity.
Some of the Most Brilliant Ladies In
the Land VIII Be Editors and
Contributors.

The Woman's edition of The Times, to
be published on the Fourth of July, will
be one of literary luxury as well as
excellence. 1t is entirely labor of love
and in the interest of the Home for ln-
curables.
Mrs. N. 8. Lincoln, a brilliant writer
and most accomplished woman, is the
managing editor, and has completed with
few exceptions the selection OF her starr

of the Century woman department..
Mrs. Richard Mohun, juvenile depart
ment.

A fair idea of the value of the edition
may be had from glance at the follow
ing partial list of women whose works viii
adorn its pages.
There Will be q very interesting article
on War "reminiscences by Mrs. James b.
Ricketts,, and one by Mrs. Robert Anderson,
wife of the hero OF Fort Sumter; poems by
Mrs. Reginald DeKoven, wife of the popu-
lar composer, Miss Grace DEMO Litchfield

ted topics by Mrs A. w. Greeley, Mrs. John
Sherwood, Mrs. Justice Field, Mrs. Stephen
T. Field Mrs. John A. Logan, Mrs William
Cabell, Mrs. L. d. M. Sweat, Mrs. NJ. v.
Dahlgren, Miss Newton, the historian, of
Richno nd, Va, and Madam GuZman.
These are selected from a longer list as
an evidence of what is to be expected.
1t will be well to remember that great
many of the papers are entirely unique and
can never be procured again.
The fact that 1t Is proposed to give this
edition q circulation of one hundred thous-
and copies will commend it to the business
sense and judgment of business men as one
of the greatest opportu mites for advertising
ever offered in washington, apart from
their natural desire to assist in the meri-
torious work in which these ladies are
engaged.
The friends OF the movement are re-
spending eagerly from all parts Of the
country, aud notably those who have left
the city for the summer resorts, send en-
coliraging messages and encoura cement
Of a not less agreeable but more substau-
tial nature.
The paper will be published on July 8,
SO that it will be received by subscribers
on the great national holiday, which
gives it its name. Proper arrangements
have been made for its circulation at Bar
Harbor, Newport, Narraganett Pier, FL
verton, aud a great many other summer
resorts.
The present prospects are very bright
and no circumstance warrants this state
ment any more than the activity in the
business department..
AS intimated, the womau's edition OF
The Times will be valuable not ouly for its
intrinsic literary merit. but as souvenir
of o work. conceived, completed,j and
devoted to most worthy cause
