No. 1011, May 13, 1899" by Various is a periodical publication that features a variety of content including fiction, poetry, and practical advice aimed primarily at a young female readership, characteristic of the late 19th century. This issue includes a lullaby, a story about Lucy and her quest for a new servant, and other instructional pieces, reflecting domestic life and the social expectations of women during that era. The beginning of this volume presents a soothing poem titled "Good Night" by Sarah Doudney, which gently invites children to sleep while depicting a tranquil pastoral setting. Following this, the narrative shifts to the domestic challenges faced by Lucy Challoner as she searches for a new general servant, revealing her interactions with Jessie Morison, a widow seeking employment. Their conversation provides insights into class dynamics and the significance of domestic work for women of that period, highlighting both Lucy's desire for competent help and Jessie’s determination to prove her worth despite her age. The opening thus sets the tone for themes of family, hospitality, and the intricacies of womanhood in a bygone era.
