The Woman's World, which has now a recognised and a
high place among our monthly periodicals, is permanently enlarged with the November number, but is not changed in any important particular, although we observe that in the new series the month's fashions are treated with a fullness, both in letterpress and in illus- trations, which has not been accorded them since, from being termed the Lady's World, this magazine was given its present title. The short stories are still the weak element in it; literary veal is a good dish, but its proper place is in a periodical for girls, not for women. Miss (or Mrs.?) Blanche Roosevelt writes sympathetically of the French novelist, Guy de Maupassaaat, who, like M. Zola, has turned over a new leaf. But since she alludes to his "Bel Ami," she ought to have been more severe upon its deliberate atrocities.
