BACK TO NEW ZEALAND

DUNEDIN WOMAN’S HOPE. [per press association.] WELLINGTON, November 15. Four years ago a Dunedin girl, but now a naturalised Czech, Mrs B. Pospisil, with a two-year-old daughter, Eliska, has returned with the hope of becoming once more a New Zealander. This does not mean that she has not been happy in Czecho-Slovakia, for she speaks most enthusiastically about it, but she does not like Central Europe as it is at present. Her journalist husband intends to join her in Dunedin, within a year, after he has finished three more books. “I have been in Prague for three years,” Mrs Pospisil announced to a reporter, when she came off the liner lonic, at Wellington, this afternoon. She explained that she first met her husband when he came to New Zealand five years ago, as an author of travel books and correspondent for newspapers in Prague. He had now just finished a “very nice” book on New Zealand -which had been translated from Czech into English, and after he had written three other books that Jie had been commissioned to do, he would follow her to Dunedin. Concerning their return to Czecho-Slova-kia or the length of their stay in New Zealand, their plans were vague. Mrs Pospisil continued that although she was now strictly a foreigner, she had obtained a special permit to remain here for two years. ,
