Website: WOMEN'S DAY NOTE: ALL COVER IMAGES THIS PAGE ARE PROPERTY OF
PUBLISHER, but are scanned from my private collection.
SUMMARY: This is one of those women's magazines that is comprised mostly of ads, with a scattershot of fiction, fashion, tons of recipes, and as it turns out, a few token needlework and craft articles in each issue(at least in the older ones...). I'm a little puzzled why the latter two things, as crafters will gravitate towards the magazines that cater to their lust for new patterns in their particular discipline, and not to a periodical that might give them a pattern a couple of times a year - if their particular discipline is a popular one, like crochet or embroidery or knitting. Tatting has always been the red-headed stepchild of the popular needlework disciplines(always "just becoming popular again..."), and tatters have gotten used to seeing only one or two patterns an issue in the magazines that would carry them(in the USA). Throwing one randomly into a fashion magazine once in a blue moon isn't going to solicit more subscriptions - which is the sole driving force of magazine articles. I've come across seven(7) early issues that included tatting patterns(so far) - and they're all quite lovely. The list is below, then the catalog of the seven(7) issues. I've got the start of a full catalog(I've got the first decade set up) started and blocked from sight right now because I only have a handful of issues. I'll be happy to catalog more when I can locate a run of this title, because despite all the ads, I found the articles fascinating, the ads fun, and the "HOW TO" section useful and engaging. This continues to be an ongoing magazine, and because of its popularity and the large percentage of ads, subscriptions costs are kept very low.
At the bottom of the page, I've started cataloging specialty issues and annuals that have begun to accumulate. I've cataloged them below, but out of context with their year. I'll rearrange everything once I get enough issues to make it worth our while to catalog in the usual by year format.
Here are the issues with tatting patterns in them that I've found so far: February, 1943: "A Dozen Designs for Tatting," by Virginia Savage(page 38,39,64,65,instruction had to be mail ordered)
"Theme and Variations," by Elmer K Tillman January, 1945: "New Tatting," by Virginia Savage(page 46; instructions had to be mail ordered - I have the sheet!) December, 1947: Collection of 12 different tatting patterns, pages 42, 67-70 December, 1948: Tatted monogram set August, 1951: "Tatting with Rickrack,"(5 edgings, 1 medallion, 3 mats, 1 doily) by Myrtle M Hamilton May, 1952: "***", by Helen Hird(mentioned in "Shuttle Art") November, 1952: "Tatted Earrings(beaded) and Crochet Choker"(mentioned in "Shuttle Art") December, 1952: Three(3) "Tatted-and-Sequin Snowflakes", by Dorothy Tooker*(see issue catalog for details)(pages 53,127-8) January, 1953: Circular and Square motifs with little 4-ring joinings for altar cloth or household linens, (pgs 35,57) April, 1953: "Bridal Veil Trimmed with Tatting,"* by Helen Hird(p ?, referenced in "Shuttle Art" Summer 1953)

"WOMAN'S DAY" ISSUES WITH TATTING PATTERNS IN THEM
February, 1943: Volume 6, Issue #5 Page Count: 84 Notes: This was the first issue with the Woman's Day War Food Bulletin - 8 pages with updates from the government on the food rationing, and help in the form of recipes that utilize the portions of the food supply that weren't being reserved for the armed forces and allied nations; I knew about the ration stamp books because my grandmother kept theirs as a reminder in her cedar chest - it was one of the stories she would tell me as we went through the cedar chest; If you wanted the instructions for the tatting patterns shown, you had to send a 3cent stamp with your request to the Home Service Editor...which was four cents more than the cost of the whole magazine...
