SATURDAY'S "STAR."

— * — In tomorrow's issue of the " Star " will appear a further liberal inetalment of W. Le Queux' sfcirring story of " Th© Invasion or 1910." It is a work which every true Briton should read, and &o warn a lesson of patriotism that will be ! profitable. Th© atory shows the possii. bilitiee that may arise from th« unprej paredneaa of tli« Empire for emergencies that might call upon her to defend herself against attacks by a etronff fo&, or by a combination of such. The lesson of Britain's unreadiness for the war in South. Africa has not been laid to heart, and this' fact Lord Rob&rts has emphasised in recent speeches both in the House of Lords and on the public platform. "The Invasion of 1910 " was inspired by the condition of things outlined by the great field-marshal. Amongst th© tales and sketches in the 'other columns of the issue will be found — " When Woman Intervenee." " Queer Tribal Customs," 'Mnsulting th© Kaiser," "The | Zulus," " The Tale of a Persian Bug," I etc. For ladies' reading th© following compilation will probably be found of interest: — " In a Servant! ess Country," ! '-Fashion's Fancies." "Some New j Games," " Aboiit Weddings," " Manners After Marriage," Woman's World, Household Hints, etc. When to the foregoing are added the racily written column, " The Week,'' the column for gardeners, the column of multum in parvo paragraphs, the column of wit ! and humour, and all the news of the | day, it will be seen that a.n excellent week-end pennyworth has been pro- | vided. .
