When the Fashions Coma From, Fashion is called a "fickle jade" and yet nearly every style is designed with some special object in view. Oft en the manufacturer has created some new material which he intends to place before the merchant ; to make the best impression possible he has sam pies of the new material placed with some of the best modistes whose special designers will study the goods, its color and texture and its combination? with other colors and materials. While experimenting with the material they create some new style to attract attention ; these designs are reproduced in colored plates and sent to all prominent deal ers to give them an idea of the value of the new material. If these styles are liked they become the fashion sometimes a dress made tor some leading artist, who has to dress as well as act the character in the play, is often so beautiful or unique as to cause a sensation, and it immediately becomes all the rage. Most large establishments in Paris have special artists who furnish them each month with a certain number of new styles suitable for the season and the new materials. From these the best are selected and the garment made up accordingly The reason La Mode tie Fan, Paris A Ibum of Fashion and La Couturier e give the earliest styles and those that are reliable is because they are at the very fountain head of Fash- ton and know just what is going to be popular. When you get a tashion journal get one upon which you can depend for correct ideas or style and material, for remember that if you wish to show correct and good taste yourself you will need to study those styles which are artistic and reliable. If you wish to keep up with the styles we advise you to suDscriDe tor x.a Mode de l'aris, $3.50 per year, or Paris Album of f ashion, 13.50 per year, inese arc tne most artistic fashion journals published. La Cou- turicre is a fine home journal for $3. 00 per year and Li Mode is only $i. 50 per year.

McDowell & Co., 4 West 4th Street, New York. A CALIFORNIA LEMON. Through the kindness of Register and Recorder C. H.
