Miss Nelle Scanlan, who has been visiting Australia, returned to Wellington recently by the Makura. Speaking of Australian writers. Miss Scanlan said that there was a mistaken idea widespread among them that English publishers were definitely prejudiced against Australian writings. When the less successful authors found their attempts rejected by English publishers, instead of concluding that their standard was not good enough, they immediately decided that it was "prejudice” against them that spoilt their chances of success. The reaction to this, said Miss Scanlan, was that Australian publishers were accepting works by their own writers which did not reach the standard required by English publishing houses, and there was danger of the standard being permanently lowered. One fact noticeable in all the parts of Australia which Miss Scanlan visited, was that the depression was referred 1o always in the past tense. This, Miss Scanlan remarked, was an indication that there, at least, the people considered the worst to be over. Exhibiting a very charming cover design, executed by Mr Nugent Welch for her new novel, “Tides of Youth,” Miss Scanlan stated that his second volume of her New Zealand saga would arrive in Wellington this week. Miss Scanlan will return to England some time in July. Latest Visitors. At the Empire:—Mr J. Simpson, Miss A. M. C. Davie, Mrs M. A. Tombs (Dunedin), Mr G. W. Gamer (Auckland), Mr L.
