A Frank Criticism. Miss Betty Smart, the attractive young lady from Ottawa, Canada, who is travelling with Mrs. Alfred Watt, M.8.E., president of the Associated Country Women of the World, has realised an ambition of many years by her visit to New Zealand. She has been charmed by all she has seen of New Zealand and promises herself another visit to view its scenic beauties more leisurely. Miss Smart is frankly critical about wikat she calls our fundamentals—corsetry and plumbing. These she considers far behind Canada and tho States, In Canada, she said, the purchasing of a foundation garment was. a. matter of moment, not to be entered into lightly, just as the bathroom was one of the mort important rooms in tho house, the planning of which should take mucih time and attention.
