A NEW ZEALANDER ABROAD.
SIR JOHN ON FEMININE BEAUTY. Melbourne, July 28. Sir John Luke, in an interview, said he thought the languages of Australia and New Zealand were varying. The Australians were dropping into a characteristic twang or intonation difficult to describe, but New Zealand was trying to keep to the English way, which he thought was better. He said Australia was producing beautiful women, who were taller than New Zealanders, but did not have the same bloom on their cheeks. He<added that the reason there were few painted and rouged faces in New Zealand in comparison with Australian cities was because of the difference in the complexions.
