Kunst property did so; but mostly
it was in bad shape.
The Kunst estate sold the Vaili-
ma property to the Samoan gov
eminent about 1907, and later il
was used as the Governors resi-
dence; and for long time no one
was prevented from entering the
front gate, crossing the lawn and
picking up the path further on and
ascending to the grave.
The New Zealand forces have
been in Samoa now nearly five years,

lie, but to writers as well.
There has grown up what might
be called the James school of novel
writing. Its devotees have been
somewhere referred to as "the les
ser Jameses." And this is natural,
not only because Henry James,
whatever the critics may say, has
succeeded in establishing himself as
a conspicuous literary figure, but
also because his style is to certain
extent easy to copy.
What follows, however, is not the
work Of James disciple, but what
would seem to be peculiarly sue
cessful piece Of satire on the great
novelist. In writing cinderella

pears in the June issue of 1.-The
Touchstone," Winifred Ward has
evolved fabric which one instantly
feels TO have the authentic flavor,

mediately follows the title. And
readers Of The Review are hereby
invited to judge how nearly with
the pen Of the novelist Miss Ward
has told an ancient tale:
