WOMEN AND BASEBALL.

We are always glad to chronicle a new idea, especially when it is possessed of such great merit as that which is now presented to us in the August number of Gemorest’s Family Magazine, which has just irrived. One of the leading articles is a game of baseball all played out on paper by means of finely executed illustrations with explicit descriptions of each move. Those who have attempted to explain the game of basebali to a sister, wife, or wife-to-be, know what an almost hopeless task it was. Now here is the whole thing done fo# you, and so cleverly that after reading it a woman will be as anxious as any one of the other sex to see a match, and she ?«ill never again say, “Well! what is there in baseball, anyhowY” The article will save you hours of explanation, and shows the enterprise of this progressive Magazine, which strives to give the public just what they want.— This August number is certainly very attractive. “A Hapjy Day a Cairo,” with its beautiful illustrations, gives a splendid idea of home life in Egypt; "Summer’s Bird” is one of Olive Tborho Miller’s charming papers; “The Game of Lawn Crooketta” describes the new pastime that is almost as fascinating as ten. nis; ;here are absorbing stories and beautiful poems;,all the numerous departments are overflowing with good and seasonable things; and in addition there are over two hundred fine illustrations, including a beautiful water-color of “Swallows.”— It is published by W. Jennings Demurest, at 15 East l tth Bt.. New Ycric. I'rice ‘Jtl cents; or $2 per year.
