KATHERINE MANSFIELD
MEMORY HONOURED The memory of Katherine Mansfield has been honoured at Fontainebleau. A tablet was placed on the wall of the Prieure des Basses Loges where she died. Her name has also been carved on one of the rocks in Fontainebleau and a glade amidst the great trees of the forest where roads cross named after her. A large gathering of important French literary people was present, and at a luncheon Mine. Palue Henry Bordeaux read an address which a slight accident prevented her father, the well-known member of the French Academy, from delivering. A visit was made to the cemetery at Avon-Fontainebleau where Katherine Mansfield lies, on the edge -f the forest, beneath a stone bearing the inscription: “But 1 tell you, my lord fool, Out of this nettle danger We pluck this flower safety.”
