The June number of Cassell’s Magazine is to hand, containing a fund of interesting and exciting stories by such prominent authors as Kathlyn Rhodes, Alice Garland Steele, George Robey, Frank H. Shaw, etc. These, with an article on broadcasting—“A Night at 2-1,0,” by Sydney Macer-Wright, a little sketch of the popular author Sheila Kaye-Smith, by Harry Furniss, with the long complete story “Marie Vee,” by Douglas Newton, go to make up a shilling’s worth of splendid reading The July number of the Triad is sown with a number of light, piquant sketches which are very pleasing to read. Some of these are contained in longer articles, some are by themselves, but all are diverting, especially such as deal with people and what people say. A page of caricatures by J. Wilson, a young man lately from England, is clever and novel. In the second “Gods of Modern Grub Street,” Thomas Hardy is the subject, and an original view is given of him. The regular monthly features are up to their usual standard of interest and novelty, while there is some good verse in the edition and a charming section for the children.
