She is the mother of . three children. Mrs Martin was born at Toowoomba, which she left at the age of nine. Ker father was Canon Pughie, who Was connected with the diocese of Brisbane from 1886 to 1909 arid was the builder of St. Luke’s Church, Toowoomba.

Stage managing is work .which appeals to many women who love the life of the theatre, yet there are very few who are able to hold down the job of .stage manager in an important theatre. Miss Barbara Curtis, of London; however, is an outstanding, exception, for she was stage manager for the recent Strat-ford-on-Avon festival. In a repertory company putting on as many as eight different plays in one week, this is a highly responsible position. Babylon has long beep famed for its hanging gardens, but' New York now has a travelling garden. It moves through the city’s poorest streets, and is also delighting hundreds in the parks, which have hot beautiful flower displays. The travelling garden is planted in pots and boxes on a six-ton lorry, and is a riot of daisies, heliotropes* nasturtlumsj petunias, and phlox. In the poorer parts of the Lower East Side it has caused a sensation, for many of the. children have never seen such flowers before. At the rear of the garden are six cages containing creatures from country gardens, including grass snakes.
