“AUSSIE.”

N.Z. EDITION APPEARS. The New Zealand edition of “Aussie,” which has bean taking shape for some months, has now materialised. As an Australasian magazine, “Aussie” has had a remarkably successful career, and the interest taken in it by New Zealand readers has induced the proprietors to insert a supplement exclusively for the Dominion, This supplement, which consists of 16 pages, is characteristic of New Zealand black-and-white art and literature, and some well-known writers and artists, as well as a number of new and promising craftsmen, have contributed to the first instalment. The New Zealand section makes “Aussie” of. special interest to all Maorilandcrs, but in addition to this the magazine contains 52 pages of the best humour to be found in Australasia—6B pages in all. More than 70 writers and artists are represented in this issue. Russom is again at his best, and any maii who can remember his first game of billiards will be forccu to real laughter when he sees Rnssoin’s idea of the beginner trying his first shot. Noel Cook is also specially humorous, and Joseph Lynch, iL. M. Cotton, Frank Jessup, Ellis Silas, Dick Hore, W. A. Howard, Pixie ! O. Harris, Syd. Clint, Emile Mercier, and Robert Robertson are Irresistible in their cheerfulness.
