THE LADIES' HOME JOUR-
nal FOR 1897.

Anevcn excellence makes the good things which
THE LADIES HONE JOURNAL promises unusu-
ally interesting and strong. The list is strong and
magazne that is, the three White House articles
which cx-President Harrison is to write. No man has
ever done what General Harrison will do in these
articles show what "A Day With the President
at his Desk means in one article; in another tell of
The Social Life of the President" and in third
tirlc describe Upstairs Life in the White House."
Each of the articles will be profusey illustrated. An
other series equally fascinating is the called
"Grcat Personal Events" in which some of the great
est whi~h have occurred in America will
be revived those wonderful times when Louis Kos
suh rode up Broadway; when the young Prince Of
Wales was here, when Jenny Lind sang in Castle
Garden; when Henry Ward Beccher electrified his
congregation by selling slaves in his pulpit when
Grant went round the world: when Henry Clay babe
farewell to the senate; when John Wesley preached
in Georgia, OF which so few know. All these mem
orable events and others will be wildly recalled,
told more graphically than ever before and illuSrat
cd with pictures which have occupied twev artists
over year. third series is unique and valuable
from the fact that it will give women of ideas
for their homes. 1t will reveal what there is INSIDE
