THE WOMANss NEWS.

We have received The Woman's News'
issued ana edited by the Ladies Auxiliary
to the Stanton Young Mems Christian
Association. Of course it is rank heresy
to say so; but we don't believe we could
pick the same number of men in Staunton
and have the work done as well-and we
know some pretty clever men too. When
you buy copy of the Woman S News
and it is for sale at the Y. M. c. Associa-
ton building-you will be surprised at the
generally interesting and in so many cases
deeply interesting character of it's contents.
We are sorry that the full names Of the
contributors should not have been printed
at the end of all the articles-it looks like
pity not to know all the women who have
done such clever work.

Prufer, and presents a typographical ap-
pearance worthy its contents.
We have given full table of the con.
tents of The Woman's News, because to
tell the truth we are rather proud of the
womens work, and because it largely vim
dictates the view about their ability, |
which the VINDICATOR urges in season
and out.
