“RAILWAYS MAGAZINE.”

FEATURES IN JUNE ISSUE. It is hard to imagine a type of New Zealander who would fail to find Plenty of iuterest in the June issue of t e N.Z. Railways Magazine.’ l ‘Robin Hyde” (Miss Iris Wilkinson) takes her readers merrily to beautiful Arthur’s Pass, where she mixes the famous scenery with happy humanity In ‘‘Heroes of the Rail,” O'. N. Gillespie shows how faithful servants of the publie justify the Department’s right to the slogan, ‘‘Safety, Comfort, Economy.” James Cowan’s seleeion of a famous New Zealander is William Ferguson Massey, whose career from boyhood in Ireland to his final stage of statesmanship in New Zealand, is masterfully presented. In whimsical prose, verse and sketches Ken Alexander gives ‘‘Pots at P'ets.” In ‘‘Panorama of the Playground,” W. F, Ingram brightly proves his declaration that ‘‘New Zealauders are Sportsmen.” R. M. Jenkins continues his popular series of ‘‘Limited Night Entertainment.” Sheila Russell gives another delightful chat about ‘‘The People of Pudding Hill.” Colin Mcßerry has a very droll story based on the lonely Cross Creek Railway Station. A new feature, ‘‘Heroic Lives,” opens with ‘‘The Village Heroine,” a gripping story by F. A. Hornibrooke (London). ‘‘Helen” again gives generous measure of helpful notes and advice for women. W. A. Stewart offers interesting facts and figures on the FrancoEthiopian Railway (Djibouti to Addis Ababa). Hiustrations, reproductions of photographs and drawings, are again a notable feature. About sixty pictures are distributed through the 64 pages. .
