Address FASHION EDITOR, _Care of "Godey's Lady's Book," Phila._ PHILADELPHIA AGENCY. "Mary Vale."--It may be interesting to this lady to know that her story of "Marrying through Prudential Motives" has been copied from the "Lady's Book" for March, 1853, in two of the English magazines, recopied into the New York "Albion," that professes to give nothing but the cream of the English magazines, credited to an English magazine; and now, being an _English_ story, will no doubt be published by half the papers in the United States. So much for the British stamp. "Nannie" is informed that MSS. for publishing must only be written on one side of the paper, as plainly as possible, done up neatly in an envelope, sealed, and postage paid. MSS. always come to hand. We have never lost one through the mails. To her other question, we have repeatedly asked of our book publishers to name their price, but they will not study their own interests enough to do it. We could sell thrice as many books for them if they would attend to it. In London, the price of the work is invariably mentioned in the advertisement. "A. L. H."--Sent your box by Adams's Express.
