\ " Zane C^y Extols New Zealand. "Qf A countries I have visited, New Zealind charms me most," writes Zane Grey. "The hold New Zealand has on me)depends upon nature and beauty. I Wve it to other writers to -extol her \pe cities and quaint resorts, her colc^ful Maori villages and thermal regioh her wonderful alpine fiords and glacVs. I have heen four times to this st^nge land, and each time the haqntni spell grows. The birds alone are w«'th a trip to New Zealand. TheseVre not many in species, bqt they \e marvellous in character and voice. The bellbird, so rare, so illusive, so itiange, with its single melancholy donj, that it seems a haupting disembodied. q'i^it of^he jungle! New Zealand canigt be descrihed in hrief, even if tha> be possible at length. American %vellers v/ill find it eventually and taV it to their hearts and tqll of it, &r\ then fail of its infinite charm, th\ Soft glamour that lured the polynd|ans from their tropic isles." \ \ \
