THE LEADING MAGAZINE FOR BOYS AND GIRLS.
St. NICHOLAS,
EDITED BY MRS. MARY MAPES DODGE.
The New York Tribune once said: "In the avalanche of immoral literature that threatens the children, some strong, vitally wholesome, and really attractive magazine is required for them, and St. Nicholas has reached a higher platform, and commands for this service wider resources in art and letters, than any of its predecessors or contemporaries." The reference to the wide resources in art and letters commanded by St. NICHOLAS was never more fully illustrated than by the extraordinary list of attractions which that magazine announces for 1884. The following will be some of the leading contributors:
