SATURDAY'S "STAR."

« This is an age of condensation, and the public seeks for its mental and bodily food in nutshells. It' has no time .to daintily dissect elaborate culinary triumphs, but it must toss the . pellet compounded from many nutritious substances into its mouth as it scurries along the path of life. Nor is there time for it to master literary intricacies.hidden beneath a cloud of verbosity, but it must consume its mental 1 food likewise, in pellets, and — what a pellet is Saturday's " Star " ! The issue of Saturday will contain another instalment of Marchmont's fascinating story " The Case of Lady Broadstone," and amongst the other tales and sketches will be found : — "Lord Clyde's Last Battle," "The Mystery Ship/ " A Misunderstanding," "India's Reptilo Press." "The House of Savoy," etc. For ladies' reading the following will be found interesting: : — " Women Workers in Enecland," "The Thief," "The 'Grandmother ' of Women Revolutionists," " Why Women Want to be Pretty," "Model Husbands," "Does Politeness Pay?" "What to do With Our Girls,'' ! "Woman's World," "Household! Hints," etc. There -will be full- accounts of the day's sporting events, besides the latest cablegrams from all parts of the world. "Work for the Week" will be found as useful, and "The Week" as amusing, as those columns always are.
