"ONE LADY AT WAI RAKE I? BY RUDYARD KIPLING. ■o
When Rudyard Kipling, the talented and forceful writer who has bounded into fame and won so brilliant a reputation in the world of letters, was travelling through these colonies, he received numerous tempting offers from the press to contribute a series of articles, all of which, however, he declined. He had, he said, made up his mind to abstain from all literary work, and enjoy a much-needed holiday. But this resolution was broken when he was in New Zealand, a colony which seems to exercise a strange fascination over every distinguished writer who visits it. When at Wairakei Mr. Rudyard Kipling had a singular and original adventure. He saw there what, as he says, no tourist had ever seen before. What he saw and heard he felt impelled to set down in writing for the New Zealand Herald. Id is the only piece of literary work relating to the colonies that he has done, and the proprietors of the Herald have much pleasure in announcing that this interesting and novel contribution from tha pen of the gifted novelist will appear in the columns of that journal on Saturday next, January 30. It is entitled " One Lady at Wairakei," the name of the lady being familiar in our mouths as household words, although, curiously enough, many who profess to know her well are the greatest strangers to her.
