MRS TOM GARRETT

AN INTERESTING PERSONALITY Mrs Tom Garrett, of Sydney, who is holding an exhibition of the well-known water colours of her husband, Mr Toni Garrett, is a most entertaining and enterprising woman. Small and vivacious, with an attractive broken accent, a legacy from her Spanish grandmother, Prussian father, and French mother, she is following an occupation that is both interesting and original. Her husband paints the pictures and hands them over to her. She arranges all the details of the exhibition, even hanging the picture herself, while he is left in peace to paint in Sydney—surely an ideal combination of husband and wife! The first exhibition which she arranged in Adelaide, about two years ago,, was, she confessed to “ Diana ” in an interview, more or less an experiment, and as the train took her to that city she felt a little nervous and uncertain of what she had to do. But she found the work so interesting and successful that she toured the whole of Australia with the water colours. Then she came to New Zealand. It was her first visit here—she found it delightful, for the people, she said, were friendly and sociable and the pictures well received. At the end of the year Mr and Airs Garrett arc to go to the United States, where they will hold an exhibition in Boston. From there they will travel to England and lastly to Europe, where they will wander through many countries in that most romantic way of all, in a caravan.
