TIMELY AND READABLE.
That is What the Articles in Tomor-
rows Big Star Will BE.
Readers of The Star will find tomorrow's
big edition an unusually interesting and
valuable one. Just now when the papers
are so full of news of battles and of prep
arations for war it will be n relief to turn
aside for a while and read of other things.
Yet The Star tomorrow will not be with
out matter pertaining to the war. Several
| articles of literary worth bearing on var
ious phases of the situation are sure to be
appreciated, for they are written by men
who know whereof they speak.
In addition to these the Saturday Star
this week will be particularly rich in mat
tiers of general interest. No single depart
ment of the paper will be neglected for the
benefit of any other, but the tastes Of all
the readers will be considered. For those
women who are interested in the styles for
the coming season there will be a number
o. articles from New York and Europe CIV
ing exact and authoritative information as
to what will be proper this summer. Those
who like good fiction will be satisfied, while
others who are more interested in outdoor
sports, base ball, bicycling and the rest
will have no reason to be disappointed. In
other words, tomorrow's Star will be a
good example of modern. up-to-date jour
nalism, bright. but not yellow; reliable and
substantial, but not heavy.
The fourth ipsfo llnart of Pobf w
bers' capital story, ashes of Empire" will
appear in tomorrow's paper. Besides this
there will be short story by Robert Barr,
one of the most popular writer's of the day,
entitled THE Hour Glass" 1t is one OF
Mr.. Bars quaintest creations. 1t is love

is the Fortress of Elsingore during the war
OF the Spanish succession. Its hero is a
lieutenant in the army of the Duke OF
Marlborough. and his wooing comes near
