Among the magazines of a more recent generation is The Ladies’HomeJournal, a periodical of a sort which has always flourished in Philadelphia.
Bok adopted some of the methods of personal journalism, and thousands of readers who could have named no other magazine editor knew of him, and rejoiced that his career was in outline that of the traditional industrious apprentice.
Even more than its predecessor, Godey’s Lady’s Book, The Ladies’HomeJournal is devoted to household arts, but it has always laid emphasis on the stories, essays, and poems that it published.
