Single Issue Magazine. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. New York: The Butterick Publishing Company, 1925. September, 1925. Cover from a painting by F.Z. Hueston. Folio, wrappers, 84 pp. Light soiling, previous owner's signature at top edge. Very good for this, otherwise really quite better. See scans. Large, "bedsheet" size periodical, at a turning point in its history as a fashion bellwether here in this issue. Fashion sketches are flappery and elongated, as they would indeed also be with the full advent of its art deco period in ensuing years, but this cover is prior to the unique Helen Dryden covers period, and the art and editing is not yet fully awash in deco mindset. In addition to the fashion, coooking and homemaking pages, though, there is serious fiction and full vintage illustration of it here, including Zona Gale's "A Thief in the Night", Irving Bacheller's "The Secret of Being Happily Married", Margaret Culkin Banning's "The Fortune Hunter", "The Weakest Link", by University of Michigan sports legend Fielding H. Yost, and Dixie Willson's "Little Texas". Some of the celebrated artists for these works include Clara Elsene Peck, Joseph Simont, Gerald Leake and Paul Meylan. A tour de force in the fiction & illustration department - and that isn't even the strong point for this Butterick publication, which is a living timeline in the history of American fashion. Nice. Please see scans. lg6. Various (illustrator).…

2pp., 12mo. Bifolium with mourning border. On lightly aged and ruckled paper, with slight damage at head of gutter. The letter would appear to concern a contribution intended for 'The Juvenile Forget Me Not', the annual Mrs S. C. Hall began editing in the late 1820s. begins: 'My dear Mrs. Hall | I sent you the story or rather the bit of a story you have - because you asked for it. Therefore if you like it, the pay is not to be considered - But at the same time if you dont like it, pray dont think of using it out of courtesy. I am not vain, and will not be at all affronted if such should be the case - especially as I am so deeply engaged at present with graver work that I find it difficult to subtract some thoughts for lighter matter.' She concludes by stating that she is sorry Mrs Hall cannot help her 'poor protégé'. After noting S. C. Hall's 'kind reception of my young relation', a long postscript returns to the story, asking her, if she does publish it, to get the publisher to 'send the magazine for the three months I shall be here. [.] I want to have postage stamps to the office for it - but I am in a place so primitive [i.e. Rosneath] that the obtaining of postage stamps is a matter requiring forethought.'.…
