DEMOREST'S 



LLUSTRATED JlONTriLY, 



The Model Parlor Magazine of the World, Com- 

 bining the Essentials of All Others. 



The increasing popularity of DEMOREST'S MONTHLY 

 MAGAZINE, a popularity extending over twenty years, is ample proof 

 that each succeeding year finds it improved in its vitality, beauty and at- 

 tractiveness ; thus meriting the enthusiastic encomiums bestowed upon it 

 by its wide circle of intelligent and critical readers. 



The peculiar features of this Magazine render it absolutely indispen- 

 sable in the family circle. Its mission is to refine, elevate and instruct. 

 Not only does it show how home can be beautified and adorned, but it 

 points out the way by which the qualities of head and heart can be so 

 cultivated that they will shed around the beneficent light of intellectual 

 and moral beauty. Thus it is a safe family guide, a counselor and friend 

 for the young, while those older can find profit and pleasure in its pages. 



So varied and instructive are its departments, combining as they do, 

 Literature, Art, Architecture, Poetry, Floriculture, House and 

 Home Matters, Work Table, Fashions, Editorials on Topics of 

 the Day, Science at Home, Kitchen, Ladies' Club, Review of 

 New Books, Common Topics, that it forms a valuable compendium 

 of desirable and useful information for everybody. 



Its Literary Department is richly stored with Serials, Shorter 

 Tales, Biographical and Historical Sketches, Essays, Editori- 

 als, Poems, and Miscellaneous Articles, from the pens of the best 

 writers of Europe and America ; thus furnishing the most choice and 

 popular literature of the day. 



Its Artistic Department possesses unusual interest. Each num- 

 ber is profusely illustrated with a beautiful Art Picture in Oil of rare 

 delicacy of finish, or well executed Steel and other Engravings of cele- 

 brated pictures, by world-renowned artists of ancient and modern times, 

 and Fashion Illustrations, which for beauty variety and reliability 

 are not equaled by those of any magazine in the world. 



Its Scientific, Architectural, Floricultural, Household and 

 Fashion Departments are equally full and attractive ; the whole form- 

 ing a Magazine which most admirably combines the useful and orna- 

 mental, the instructive and entertaining, and which for beauty, utility, 

 originality and cheapness is without a peer in the field that it occupies.

 and elegant LITERARY and FASHION MAGAZINE, can obtain 

 the same by forwarding TWENTY CENTS. YEARLY SUBSCRIP- 

 TION, TWO DOLLARS.
