The Designer.

Stye, refinement and effectiveness characterize the many fashion and millinery models presented in The Designer for Fe ruary, and they are illustrated in the most artistic manner in colors and in black and white. The professional modiste as well as the amateur dressmaker will • find much to interest and instruct in “Points on Dressmaking;” house keepers will ponder over “Window Draperies,” “Household Advice” and “Cookery;” mothers will gladly consult the pages of “The Kindergarten in the Home” and “Nursery Lore;” the lover of the fancy work is remembered in “With the Crochet Hook” and “Home made Valentines,” and/hose socially Inclined will appreciate “Etiquette Hints” and “At a Danish Valentine Party.” Among the other instructive features of this number are “Floriculture,” For Health and Beauty,” “Book Notes,” “Congenial Fields for Women Workers,” “Among Ourselves,” and “The Mardi Gras in New Orleans.” Fiction of high order is supplied by “A Rift Within the Lute,-” a Valentine comedietta, and “A Knight in Army Blue,” a stirring love story. The little folks are remembered in “Furnishing Miss Dollie’s Parlor,” which under the guise of the story gives hints for the employment of the restless little fingers. The Designer combines helpfulness and entertainment for the household to a wonderful degree, andj certainly supplies most generous excellence for 10 cents a number or SI.OO a year.
