RECOGNITION ABROAD.— Miss Mary Wigley, of Whangarei, whose book of’ New Zealand poems, "Some Southern Songs," has been given a notice of a column and a half in "The Times" Literary Supplement, London. This is the first time that a New Zealand poet has received the honour of a long notice in the world's most famous (and probably most critical) literary paper. Miss Wigley's poems are mostly about Canterbury, a province whose destiny has been largely shaped by Miss Wigley's grand-parents and great-uncles.
