AR. LEE. “Why, Addie, you 
needn’t cry about it! I only 
said Mrs. Allen was a very 
well-informed woman, and I wish you 
would follow her example.” 
Mrs. Ler. “Yes: and last week 
you said you wished I could manage to look as stylish as Mrs. Allen,—” 
and she makes all her own clothes. But she has what I haven’t.” 
Mr. Lee. ‘“ What is that?” 
Mrs. LEE. “Well, she gets all of her information from the Magazine 
they take. I admit that she knows all that is going on, and is bright and 
entertaining in conversation; but I could do as well as she does if I had the 
same source of information. She lent me the last number of her Magazine 
lately, and I learned more, in one hour’s reading, about various social matters 
and the topics of the day, than I would pick up in a month by my occasional 
chats with friends. It certainly covers every topic of interest, from the news 
of the day down to the details of housekeeping; and everything is so beauti- 
fully illustrated, too. Every time Mamie goes over to the Allens’ she comes 
back and teases me to get you to take Demorest’s Family Magazine, as 
the stories are so good. Even the Allen boys watch for it every month, as a 
place is found for them, also, in its pages; and Mr. Allen swears by it. It is 
really wonderful how it suits every member of the family!” 
Mr. Ler. “ Well, perhaps I had better send for a Specimen Copy ; for, if it 
is anything like what you say it is, it will amuse and instruct the whole of us.” 
Mrs. Ler. “I see that W. Jennings Demorest, the publisher, is offering 
to send a Specimen Copy for 10 cents, so we can’t lose anything, as each 
number contains a ‘Pattern Order’ entitling the holder to any Pattern she 
may choose, and in any size—which alone makes each copy worth 30 cents; 
and I just want a jacket pattern like Mrs. Allen’s. The subscription price 
is only $2.00 a year; and I must say I can’t see how they can publish so 
elegant a Magazine for so little money.” 
Send 10 cents for a Specimen Copy of ‘‘Demorest’s Family Maga- 
zine,” containing an Order for a Pattern worth 30 cents, to W. Jennings 
Demorest, 15 East 14th Street, New York. Liberal commissions offered 
to local canvassers.
