"A. S. C."--Sent dress on the 7th by mail. "Miss D. H."--Sent patterns by mail on 7th. "Helen."--Boots to button at the side for winter wear are very fashionable here. Bronze or blue gaiter boots $3, French kid slippers $1 50. Never heard of such a mono-mania; make him wear girl's clothing until he reforms. "S. S. S."--Sent goods by mail (the cheapest way) on the 7th. "T. S. H."--Sent Rapp's pen by mail on the 14th. "Miss M. F."--Sent breastpin by mail on 14th. "Mrs. J. A. C."--Wrote and sent you circular of prices of Boardman & Gray's pianos. "M. S. L."--Sent jewelry by mail on 18th. "Bed Quilts."--Marseilles are almost invariably used now. Of course, they are fashionable. "J. S. B."--Too late for March number. Cannot furnish "Lady's Book" from the commencement. We have only as far back as 1851. "Mrs. A. V. Du B."--Sent patterns by mail on 18th. No orders attended to unless the cash accompanies them. All persons requiring answers by mail must send a post-office stamp. The Borrower's Department. "_The wicked borroweth and payeth not again._" THE "Pennsylvania Trojan" says: "The present is decidedly the best number, in point of illustrations, reading matter, paper, and typography, ever issued, and every way worthy of the wide-spread reputation of L. A. Godey. We cannot lend this number, to show it to our friends, for Mrs. M. has taken charge of it, _and is copying some very pretty patterns of embroidery from it_. However, she will take pleasure in displaying its beauties to you." Sent you a duplicate of that prospectus sheet, friend "Trojan." * * * * * GOOD.--A letter from a Ky. editor: "I have about one dozen BORROWING subscribers, who all like your 'Book' remarkably well, I presume, from their eagerness to get hold of it. I have lost one or two of these, however, as they have sent on and subscribed for themselves." Don't lend, and we shall have the remainder of them soon. * * * * * A letter from a lady in New York State:-- "SIR: I have endeavored to be as punctual as possible in making up my club for 1854. The 'Lady's Book,' with its many charms, has become very necessary to our happiness. I am gratified that there are a few ladies among us who are sufficiently endowed with a sense of the beautiful and interesting to appreciate its worth. One of its admirable traits is that it bears acquaintance well. That race of beings who borrow everything they read is not extinct in this vicinity. But that habit, like that of drinking ardent spirits, is growing less, as _decent_ people are ashamed to practise it." * * * * * "No loss but what falls on my head." The "Advocate," Stamford, says: "By the way, if the individual who so unceremoniously _borrowed_ the August number will be kind enough to return it, we shall be saved the necessity of troubling Mr. Godey for a duplicate." Of course, we had to send it.
