From Messrs Gordon and Gotch, per favour of Mr. R. H. French, we nave received:— “The Y’ellow Magazine” (June 30th issue), which continues to improve. A new serial “The Way of Deception” by Leslie Beresford commences. There are short stories, all illustrated, by Charles G. D. Robberts, Coutts Brisbane, Fred M. White, A. E. Ashford, Owen Olliver and others. “Harmworth’s Children’s Dress, ’ July issue, contains five free patterns girl’s cloak (12 to 14 years), tucked frock (6 to 8 years), frilled frock (6 to 8 years), boy’s blazer (8 to 10 years), paddlers (2 to 4 years). Full instructions for making up are given. The issue also contains many articles of interest and information for mothers. The popular Australian magazine, “Evervlady’s Journal,” surpasses most periodicals in the same class. The August number is not only rich in fashions and articles on dress—it gives a fine budget of fiction and articles for women. These cover such features as: “The Breaking Point”—a new serial by Mrs Rinehart; “Cake Making,” by Miss Drake; “How to Crochet a New Doyley” and articles on Children, Beauty, Health, Housekeeping, etc. “Weldon’s Ladies’ Journal” is the most up-to-d.at« fashion guide for the practical woman, and the August number is really a splendid issue. The gratis cut-out patterns enclosed in every copy make a stylish afternoon dress, a charming holiday frock, tennis coat, and dainty'nightdress, with the fullest details for cutting out and making up. .Special features of the number include a superb photogravure supplement of the latest Paris and London fashions, a gratis transfer design tor bead embroidery. The directions it contains for making the newest frocks for every occasion are too numerous to give *in detail. This issue will be found most tfseful as it gives the latest conceptions in holiday fashions for the coming summer. “The Shakespearean Quarterly,' edited by Hector Bolitho. a journal devoted to Shakespearean study, and a record of the professional and amateur performances of the plays, is a publication . welcomed by students of Shakespeare. The publisher’s aim is to enrol new disciples as well as provide a little thought tor those more carefully Schooled in appreciation of Shakespeare. Mr. Allan Wilkie, the actor who so well intei-prets the plays of the Bard of Avon, is the founder of the “Quarterly,” and he well deserves the success it has achieved. Mr. Wilkie is now completing a tour through Queensland after which he commences a tour through’ New Zealand. “Sunbeams”—a Book of Laughter; is one of a series of three humorous books at 2s 9d each. Mr. French has also three American mirth provokers at 3s each, and some 6s editions of books of humour. *
