1 y separately published work icon Splashes Splashes : A Magazine for the Multitude Pattie Fotheringhame (editor), 1899 Sydney : George Wride Jr , 1899-1911 Z1210732 1899 periodical The magazine's motto was 'Fear God, speak evil of none, Stick to the truth, and never be done'. Justifying its existence in an already crowded magazine market-place, Splashes declared that 'the ear-mark distinguishing this young lamb from the majority of the newspaper flock will be - cleanliness'. To potential advertisers, it boasted of itself as 'a dynamite bomb which wakes up the sleepy would-be purchaser, and, magnet-like, draws him to your office, warehouse, shop or factory'. While it addressed its 'lady readers who preach the equality of the sex, an opportunity ... is here offered for securing converts', yet it was disparaging of 'The New Woman', found more often in 'books, magazines and comic papers' than in real life, calling her 'inconsistent, wanting in sense of humour, not ready to fulfil the duties for which she has obviously been made, wanting in commonsense, egotistical, and an enigma alike to herself and to other people'. It published news, gossip, anecdotes, verse, short stories, and serials, offered reviews of theatre and music, discussed weddings, royal visits and events, fashions and various occupations for women, ran competitions, and provided gratis paper patterns for home dressmakers.
