A Poetry Magazine

LL who are interested in the evolution of literary talent will find "The N.Z. Mercury" much to their taste. This is a new publication, and one well calculated to appeal to students of the art of self-expression in prose and verse. Duplicated on tinted paper, with cover of a darker shade, the magazine is attractively compiled, and contains poems by the late Marjory Nicholls, R. B. Castle, Flavell, ©. R. Allen, F. Alexa Stevens and others equally well known; together with examples of the work of a younger school, offering interesting scope to critics who find pleasure in picking a winner fnid burgeoning talent. An arresting ar'ficle on Masefield is written by a well-known journalist who hides her identity under the nom-de-plume of "Jane," while some charming lines are contributed by a southern patron of letters. It is hoped this little publication, unique in its way, has come to stay. Copies at 7d a single copy and 8/- for six months (post free) may be obtained on application to the Bryant Duplicating Bureau, 12 Cuba Street, Wellington,
