A NEW FAMILY PAPER.

ark!- No More Balls, Evening Parties, or any other Expense.- The Photographic Advertiser, shortly to be published, offers peculiar advantages to Parents naturally anxious to dispose of their grown-up Daughters in Marriage, precluding in extravagant society, and all the cost and trouble involved in going to, and giving in return, soirees, reunions, dancing and musical parties, &c. Each advertisement of a young lady will consist of an accurate description of her personal advantages, accompanied by a sun-portrait, by which the exactness of the text will be capable of being tested, and which will obviate any danger which may be apprehended by country gentleman of “buying a pig in a poke,” or even of being induced to deal for the fair creature whose charms may be unsuited to their peculiar taste. The Photographic Advertiser offers its columns to the bereaved widow, as well as to the spinster, regardless of years; the mature conviction of its proprietors being, that no time of life, and no antecedent ties, are adequate to forbid the loving heart of woman from endeavouring to cling, like a tendril, to any eligible object of the stronger sex, that may happen to be brought within its reach: an approximation to effect which is the express object of the Photographic Advertiser. To gentlemen, the Photographic Advertiser is likewise open, and those happily gifted with regular features, luxuriant whiskers, a preprossessing expression, and symmetrical proportions, will be enabled, by its means, to negociate all these endowments with the utmost facility and at the very lowest terms. Gentlemen less fortunate in ordinary estimation, will find in the Photographic Advertiser a medium for the exhibition of those peculiarities of physiognomy or configuration, which are not without their admirers in a world wide enough for us all, not excepting those who weigh eighteen or twenty stone. The nose which has never attained to, or which transgress, the proportion, or which deviates, in what shape soever, from the outline of beauty; the eyes which are peculiar in their convergence or in the speciality of their colour; the mouth which differs widely, or by opposite dimensions, from Apollo’s bow, will be presented by the Photographic Advertiser, in the most attractive light to those individuals of the other sex to whose predilections they have been adapted by the plastic and pictorial hand of Nature. For further particulars inquire at the Office, 85, Fleet Street, E.C.; where attendance will constantly be given to receive any amount of subscriptions.
