Full instructions for making up are given. The issue also contains many articles of interest and information for mothers. The popular Australian magazine, “Evervlady’s Journal,” surpasses most periodicals in the same class. The August number is not only rich in fashions and articles on dress—it gives a fine budget of fiction and articles for women. These cover such features as: “The Breaking Point”—a new serial by Mrs Rinehart; “Cake Making,” by Miss Drake; “How to Crochet a New Doyley” and articles on Children, Beauty, Health, Housekeeping, etc. “Weldon’s Ladies’ Journal” is the most up-to-d.at« fashion guide for the practical woman, and the August number is really a splendid issue.
