height of 1900 feet above the sea.
The land never has been the proper
ty of a German subject, but was
at the time of burial owned by
Thomas Trood, a British subject,
and later, l believe, he gave the
Stevensons title to the land.
The footpath up the hillside has
never been more than six feet wide
and is very steep. During the time
the Stevenson family owned Vaili-
ma, after the death of the author,
no one prevented visitors reaching
the path by a short cut across the
grounds and through the front gar
den! But the ascent was frequently
almost obliterated by vines, vegeta-
ton, and often the tropical rains
made the climb arduous, and un-
less that path was cleared every
month or six weeks, the difficulties
were hard to overcome
New-York tribune., 1919-07-06

From the very beginning of those
twenty-five years, that path was
most of the time vine-covered and
hardly traceable. The property was
sold to Kunst, a German.
During the fifteen years he held
the property no one was ever pre-
vented from passing over the
grounds to visit Stevenson's grave.
But the caretaker (for Kunst was
seldom in Apia) had to stop sight
seers entering the house, which they
did unless refused admission. They
seemed to think they had a perfect
right not only to cross the front
garden to the path to the grave,
but to enter Kunst's home.
During these times the path to
the grave was often almost impas-
sable. Sometimes the old munich
pal council ordered it looked after.

it was in bad shape.
The Kunst estate sold the Vaili-

was used as the Governors resi-

was prevented from entering the
front gate, crossing the lawn and
picking up the path further on and
ascending to the grave.

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
