Wi; have looked through the first number of " Daybreak," ut little journal published in Wellington, written "by women, for women, about women," We wish we could prophecy good thingsforit, but alas, from start to finish\ve do not find within its pages any reference to costume, any record of afternoon teas, any indication of the newest dance, or any description of the latest corset. Women won't read a paper which soais above eonsideVations like these. Women don't care for philosophy anil political privileges, at; least the average woman is imlillerenl to such things. Therefore this new publication "edited and carried on by the ' mtinrmr' " will possibly be more of a heartbreak than a daybreak. Kven the Lady Mayor business is played out in New Zealand, though Mrs Yates was amusing whilcshe lasted. " Daybreak "is not amusing and we fear that it will not have a very long career. The highestcoiupliment the liteiary man can pay to the literary woman is to tell her the plain truth and this is that a woman's journal to be a success must be in touch with the average woman.
