“Shibli” Listens in

Hector Bolitho writes me that his next book will be “Older People,” “hardly an autobiography—rather a series of recollections of older people I have known.” He mentioned that his brother's latest book has been successful and caused a mild stir in Germany.

Stuart Peterson, formerly of “The Free Lance” and now in Sydney, recently carried on Tom Glover's daily cartoon on the Sydney “Sun” while Glover was absent on holiday.

“Marten Stuart,” whose latest novel, “And Shadows Flee,” has been favourably reviewed, is Mrs. Walter Scott, of Te Awamutu. She was “The New Zealand Artists' Annual” “Annual Discovery” in the 1930 issue of that publication. In that issue appeared her first published short story.
