"ART IN NEW ZEALAND"
The most recent number of "Art in New Zealand" naturally devotes space to New Zealand's Centennial celebrations and to the collection of pictures representing contemporary European art on view at the National Art Gallery. Tjiere are also reproductions of some jof the outstanding work exhibited at the Academy's annual show. There is altogether a wealth of illustration and much interesting letterpress. Folk dancing, caricatures by Noel COunihan, clay modelling in schools, T. A. MeCormaek's watercolours, and art in the present century are all subjects treated by various writers from ah authoritative and interesting point of view. The usual notes, reviews, and miscellaneous matter complete a number which fully maintains the standard set by its predecessors.
The Mark Twain Society has issued a small pamphlet called "One Afternoon With Mask Twain," by George Ade. In 1902, or thereabouts. Dr. Clarence C. .Rice took Ade, whose "Fables in Slang" were then very popular, ta call on Mark Twain. Ade always intended to write an account of that memorable afternoon,, but has only recently done it. It is now published for the first time in an edition limited to 350 copies. For a frontispiece there is a drawing by .McCutcheon of George Ade at the age of 14 reading "Huckleberry Finn,"
