full evening costume we have often described, and shall give some new styles next month. Of course, we have spoken only of young ladies, a more matronly style being expected from their chaperons. For instance, caps at the opera or concerts, a charming variety of which were seen at Miss Wilson's November opening. Turc satins, velvets, and brocades are to those in place of white tulle or embroidered crepes. And again, our hints of course are intended for the city alone, and for the guidance of those who are making that perilous venture, a "first winter in society." FASHION. * * * * * THE BOOK OF THE NATION. GODEY'S LADY'S BOOK FOR 1851, LITERARY AND PICTORIAL, DEVOTED TO AMERICAN ENTERPRISE, AMERICAN WRITERS, AND AMERICAN ARTISTS. * * * * The publisher of the Lady's Book having the ability, as well as the inclination, to make the best monthly literary, and pictorial periodical in this country, is determined to show the patrons of magazines to what perfection this branch of literature can be brought. He has now been publishing the Lady's Book for twenty-six years and he appeals to his subscribers and the public whether the "Book" has not improved every year, and he now pledges his well-earned reputation that, in the MORALITY and SUPERIORITY of his literature, and in the PURITY and BEAUTY of his engravings, THE LADY'S BOOK FOR 1851 SHALL EXCEED EVERY OTHER MAGAZINE. The literary department will still be conducted by MRS. SARAH J. HALE, whose name is now recognized throughout our country as the able champion of her sex in all that pertains to the proper rights of woman. Arrangements have been made with other than our well known contributors, and we shall have the pleasure of adding to the following some writers of great celebrity, whose names have not yet appeared in the "Book." Mrs. J.C. Neal, Mrs. E.F. Ellet, Enna Duval, Mrs. E. Oakes Smith, Mrs. A.F. Law, The Author of Miss Bremer's Visit to Cooper's Landing, Mrs. L.G. Abell, Mrs. O.M.P. Lord, Kate Berry, Mrs. S.J.
