HARPER's BAzAR, for more than
thirty years the recognized authority on IN
the fashions and domestic matters, Will
appear after May in a new form, as
weekly magazine for women.
The new Bazaar will be published in
handsome ornamental covers, and Will
be printed on highly finished supercaden-s
dered paper, with wide margins. While the
Bazar will continue to maintain its posi-
ton as the leading authority on the
fashions, many new features of a dis
kinctly literary and artistic character
will be introduced.

for the coming months are Mrs. Hnrnphry
Ward, DIR. Van Dyke, Stephen Crane,
MADAME Marchesi, w. ID. Howeils and
Mary e. Wilkins. The Illustrations will
be by the leading artists of the day.
AS a weekly illustrated magazine for
women The new Bazar will occupy uni
que position, and there seems every rea-
son to believe that the new venture will
meet with success.
