m, Mass. One of the most popular of modern writers upon health and the means of its preservation. --_Presbyterian Banner._ There is hardly any thing that may form a part of woman's experience that is not touched upon. --_Chicago Journal._ THE BAZAR BOOK OF DECORUM: CARE OF THE PERSON, MANNERS, ETIQUETTE, AND CEREMONIALS. 16mo, Toned Paper, Cloth, Beveled Edges, $1 00. A series of sensible, well-written, and pleasant essays on the care of the person, manners, etiquette, and ceremonials.

The subject is treated with good sense and good taste, and is relieved from tedium by an abundance of entertaining anecdotes and historical incident. The author is thoroughly acquainted with the laws of hygiene, and wisely inculcates them while specifying the rules based upon them which re
