. & - REVIEWS.#* “Aussie.”—Sixteen pages are again devoted to the New Zealand section of “ Aussie,”' which ds inserted in the centre of the Autsrhiian edition* “Aussie” iii itself is a fine publication, full of the humour that appeals to teh Australasian.; people,, but. with the addition of the New Zealand section it is extraordinary value for the price. Among the artists in the. Zealand section are F. H. Cumberworth, Tom Bell, G. Mclntyre, A. S. Paterson, K. Alexander, and there are also a number of. new artists whose work appears for the first time. It has always been the policy of “ Aussie ” to encourage the beginner and now that New Zealand has a section of the magazine to itself we may hope to see much improvement in the work of our young artists and writers. “ Aussie ” is inviting contributions from New Zealand artists and writers, and the intention is to keep the section purely New Zealand as possible. The “Violet” Magazine for February 9 is just to hand. The articles are up .to the previous standard, as are all the 'illustrations. “What the Stewardess Saw,” by W. E.

This number contains twelve short stories that, have been wellselected. The articles, in this issue, include some of the most fascinating romances we have yet had from the pen of John Wilson, Bedford Jones, Nellie Tom-Gallon, Calder Wilson, and others. .

“ Harmsworths ” for March is also included in those which cater for the public taste, and the present number will be a poplar one. The stories include “ The Lady of the Mist,” “Marriage Lines,” “ The Morning after the Night Before,” “The Trial of the Chickaree,” “ Seeing Red,” “ The Yellow Seven,” the fourth instalment of “ The Shaman,” and others. The “Green” Magazine for February 27 continues to impress the public with its delightful new stories from foremost writers, tl is a magazine for all lovers of outdoor life, an.l specialises -in stories that vibrate with the thrill of peril and adventure j in distant lands and on the high seas, ' of hard-fought, games and closely-run I races, seasoned with the spice of ro- ' mancc and the salt of humour.
