Once more wo welcome the Christinas Number of ‘The Weekly Press,’ whirdi this year claims to lie “brighter. daintier, and hotter than ever.” One of the features, of the animal is Maori, and we have all aliases of -Maori life, from tho laughing, lighthearted Wahinc on the cover, who seems to wish us a Christmas that shall he as merry as she is herself, to the picture of Nature’s Children on the last page. People are inclined to forget that New Zealand has outlying v ?-'--cions. One is, however, remind-

od of these by a couple oi pages of 'xceodingly pretty views from the Cook Islands, in which the luxuriant u'aury of the scenery is well shown. The contrast between Nature’s cocoa■mt plantation and man’s is most interesting. “New Zealand Illustrated is noted for the publication of highlass original stories. This year those included are all suited to the general : ■haracier of the hook. Maori legend | ■ml modern story arc presented in j good style, and add much to the general interest, it is one ot the held uul cheapest shilling’s worth wo have cvor seen.
