IN MEMORY OF KIPLING
AN ATTRACTIVE SUGGESTION (By Air Mail—From Our Own Correspondent) LONDON, 14th May. Though it is obvious that Rudyard. Kipling can have no finer memorial than his literary works, it goes without saying that his admirers, including members of the Kipling Society, of which in his lifetime he was a very shy patron, will insist on some public memorial. Discussion is now going on as to the most acceptable ( form of this, one attractive suggestion | being the purchase and dedication for I public use somewhere in Sussex of a park named after the poet of Empire. Another proposal, which might fit in . admirably with the former, is for a ] statue by some good modern sculpj tor. The tribute of the Kipling Society itself will probably take the form of ' a conventional tablet in Westminster Abbey. There should be little trouble, in view of Kipling’s immense circle of readers in many countries, about getting together the necessary funds jfor a worthy memorial.
