| Summary |
"The Girl's Own Paper, Vol. VIII: No. 356, October 23, 1886" by Various is a periodical publication from the late 19th century. It presents a diverse collection of stories and articles primarily targeted at young women, reflecting the values, interests, and societal norms of the era. This issue includes fictional narratives that explore themes of personal growth, morality, and societal challenges while also incorporating practical advice and cultural commentary. The opening portion of the publication presents a story titled "A Dream of Queens' Gardens," where the central character, Hazel, embarks on a transformative journey prompted by a dream. As she wades through an enchanting garden, Hazel is initially mesmerized by its beauty, embodying the role of a queen. However, the idyllic experience quickly turns introspective as she hears a profound voice urging her to confront the harsh realities of the external world, particularly the suffering present beyond her paradise. This internal struggle leads her to a moment of compassion, where she tends to a wounded soldier in a battlefield, ultimately realizing the significance of her responsibility and potential to affect change, symbolizing a departure from selfishness and an embrace of purpose.
