ADVERTISEMENTS . THE BEST AND
CHEAPEST OF THE
PETERSON'S
LADY'S BOOKS .
MAGAZINE.
This popular Monthly contains more for the money than any in the world. It has, every year, nearly 1000 pages, 14 steel plates, 12 double-sized mammoth colored steel fashion plates, and 900 wood engravings—and all this for only TWO DOLLARS A YEAR, or a collar less than Magazines of its class. Every lady ought to take " Peterson." It is emphatically, The Magazine for the Times ! The stories in "Peterson39 are conceded to be the best published anywhere. All the chief female writers of America are regular contributors. In addition to the usual number of shorter stories, there is being given in 1869, Five Original Copyrighted Novelets, viz : MARIA ANTOINETTE'S TALISMAN, by Mrs. Ann S. Stephens ; THE MYSTERY OF BLACKWOOD GRANGE, by Mrs. M. A. Fleming ; THE STORY OF MAGGIE, by the author of " Susie L's Diary ;" LIFE AND DEATH, by Agnes James ; KATE'S WINTER IN WASHINGTON, by Frank Lee Benedict. In its illustrations, also, “ Peterson " is unrivalled. The Publisher challenges a comparison between its STEEL AND OTHER ENGRAVINGS, and those in similar Magazines, and one steel engraving, at least, is given in each number. MAMMOTH COLORED FASHION PLATES Each number contains a double-size Fashion Plate, engraved on steel, and handsomely colored . These fine plates contain from five to six figures each, and excel any thing of the kind. In addition , wood cuts of the newest bonnets hats, caps, head-dresses, cloaks, jackets, ball dresses, walking dresses, house dresses, etc., etc., will appear in each num ber. Also the greatest variety of children's dresses . Also diagrams, by the aid of which, a cloak, dress, or child's costume can be cut out without the aid of a mantua-maker, so that each diagram in this way alone, will save a year's subscription . The Paris, London, Philadelphia and New York fashions are described, in full, each month. COLORED PATTERNS IN EMBROIDERY , CROCHET, etc. The Work-Table Department of this Magazine is wholly unrivalled. Every number contains a dozen or more patterns in every variety of Fancy-work, Crochet, Embroidery, Knitting, Bead-work, Shell-work, Hair-work, etc., etc., etc. Superb Colored Patterns for Slippers, Purses, Chair Seats, dc., given-each of which at a retail store would cost Fifty Cents. RECEIPTS FOR COOKING, THE TOILETTE, THE SICK-ROOM, ETC., ETC. The original Household receipts of " Peterson" are quite famous. For 1869 our " Cook Book " is being continued, Every one of these receipts has been tested. This alone is worth the price of " Peterson." Other receipts for the Toilette, Sick-room, etc., are given. It is economy in housekeeping to take “ Peterson.” New and Fashionable Music in every number. Also, Hints on Horticulture, Equestrianism, and all matters interesting to ladies.
