LADIES NEWSPAPERS. able
English critic, on this subject, briefly
but sensibly argues: GAS rule, ladies
prefer those journals which combine
sense with taste and fashion. They
do not care for the political or party
paper, but they do wish to know OF
all great movements in Government,
in public enterprises, in education,
religion and in the various reforms.
temperance, hygienic, etc. Papers
or magazines, written exclusively for
ladies, lack that vigor and power
which all true women admire. The
best paper, therefore, combines the
two clements. male and female, 30
blended rs to represent the two na-
lures, and to feed both the intellect
and the sentiment; but from feeding
on the wisl,y-washy twaddlc of sick.
