I have just found out about a magazine called "Once a Week" stories and illustrations, that came out around the turn of the century. Apparently it was quite popular, as it carried serialized stories, a new trend at the time in literature. Do you know anything about this magazine, and if the two were in competition? Great article.

They served to inspire a couple of my early re-enacting dresses. :)Denise Weimerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06668386425425153446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-63613337472056966562019-05-20T07:49:29.171-04:002019-05-20T07:49:29.171-04:00Thanks for the post!

Your description of the magazine reminds me of how I subscribed to Good Housekeeping for 20 years or more, until they changed it so much it was hardly worth buying. I enjoyed it for its' fiction, recipes and much more. The emphasis, as with all publishing, has moved towards digital and it's just not the same to hold a tablet in your hand! I'll have to look up Godey's at some point! Thanks again.Connie R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12038621934457678475noreply@blogger.com
