A NEW LADY'S NEWSPAPER

Yet another has been added to the already long list of Indies' weekly papers. When'T picked up the first number of the Lady's Field last week I expected to find a paper devoted to various kinds of sport, instead of that I found only two pages were set aside for chronicling pastimes, ete., the remainder being devoted mainly to fashions. There is a good portrait of the Duchess of Neweastle and some of her dogs, also one of Lady Annesley as an angler, but these we have already seen in so-called fashion papers. Altogether the title seems to me a misnomer and unless run on different lines—those more appropriate to its title—I think the Lady's Field will enjoy but a short life. It is well got and the fashion plates are well drawn and undoubtedly pretty, but voild tout!
