Full of Good Reading Matter.
Readers of The Star have a rich treat in
store for them, for the big Saturday Star
this week will be an unusually interesting
number. From beginning to end it will be
found full of readable articles, many of
them by writer's who are well known to
local readers, others by writer's whose
names are less familiar, but whose articles
will be found none the less entertaining.
Stanley Weyman's story, Shrewsbury"
reaches it's conclusion tomorrow, but the
many thousands who have followed it with
the closest attention will be glad to learn
that The Star will commence next week
the publication of another romantic serial,
this time by Anthony Hope, one of the
most popular novelists of the day. 1t is
try, entitled Simon Dale" Anthony
Hopes mastery of witty and graceful dia-
iogue and his wonderful skill in the weav-
ing of dramatic tale are admirably dis
played in this new story Of ingenious con-
struction and sustained interest Few
STORIES, even Oh nope 5, are more re-
plete with incident, more rapid in move
ment deal more picturesquely with a
group of historical characters than this of
Simon Dale" The period is one peculiarly
suitable to the authors genius. The hero
moves in the romantic days of Charles II,
and his fortunes are entangled with those
of the dissolute Stuart, and Of Louis XIV
of France.
So much for next week. Tomorrow The
Star will contain an abundance of good
fiction, special articles of timely interest,
letters on fashions in New York and in
Europe, ON sports here and elsewhere, foot
ball and the closing of the base ball season,
