Towards the end of {{TT}}, [[William de Worde]] and [[Sacharissa Cripslock]] are discussing profitable spin-offs from newspaper publishing and Sacharissa suggests a [[Magazines|magazine]] of interest to Ladies, which she tentatively gives the title of The Ladies' Home Companion.

By the time of {{MM}}, there is no evidence that such a magazine has hit the streets, but [[Gladys]] the feminized [[Golems|golem]] is an avid reader of something called '''The Ladies' Own Magazine''', a genteel and mannered publication which among other things advocates back and neck rubs to relieve stress and tension caused by the hurly-burly of modern life. 

It is possible that this is the final form of the magazine envisaged by Sacharissa.

==Annotation==

The ''Woman's Home Companion'' was a well-known [[Roundworld]] publication in N. America from 1887 to 1956. It began life as the ''Ladies' Home Companion'' a year earlier. 

'''The Ladies' Own Magazine''' falls possibly somewhere between [[Roundworld]]'s ''Boys' Own'' (well, the name), ''Hello'' and the genteel ladies' magazines of the 50s and 60s?
