And free us from all ills
In this world and the next.
WHAT THE PRESS SAYS:
“The Girl’s Own Paper—the most successful paper ever published for girls, alike from the pecuniary point of view, and from the point of view of supplying girls with literature equally wholesome and welcome—has just reached its thousandth number. Long may it live.”—The Queen.
“With the thousandth number of The Girl’s Own Paper, dated February 25th, is given a detached “Portrait Gallery,” containing the likeness of 105 contributors to that excellent periodical, among whom are the Queen of Roumania, Princess Beatrice, and (as it is fairly claimed) ‘many queens and princesses of prose, poesy, and music’—not to speak of princes.”—The Guardian.
“Without any trace of mawkish piety, it has always set before its readers the ideal of first things first, and has never descended to the depths of sensationalism to secure a wider circulation.”—Methodist Times.
“I congratulate The Girl’s Own Paper, which celebrates its thousandth birthday. It still leads.”—Sketch.
“The idea of its publication was a very happy one, and it has been thoroughly well carried out with sense, with catholicity, and with quickness of perception.”—British Weekly.
“The Editor says—‘Success shone upon us from the very first.’ That that success may never wane will be the hope of many thousands of present readers and of past readers who are no longer girls—women who realise that their lives were not only made brighter and happier by the Magazine, but better, fuller, and more useful.”—Brighton Herald.
