Irish Visitor Praises Dominion’s Girls

Arriving by the Rangitiki from London on Friday, Miss M. Andorton, of Ireland, is visiting New Zealand in the course of an eight months' tour, states tho New Zealand Herald. After spending a short time in both tho North and South Islands, Miss Andcrton will return to Ireland via the East.

With a home in County Limerick and another in tho South of France, Miss Anderton Jives part of the year in each place, and also spends much time in travelling. Although it is almost nine years ►rince Miss Andorton last visited New Zealand, she said to lior it was still ono of the most beautiful countries

which she had lived. On her last visit she had been particularly pleased with the appearance of New Zealand girls, w i ho were generally taller and slimmer than their English sisters. Miss Anderton said she had travelled so much and met people of so many different nationalities that she could almost discern a woman’s nationality by her build. “New Zealand girls, on the whole, walk well, dress and speak oarelesly have charming manners, and are splendidly independent," Miss Anderton said. She thought the women of New Zealand and England were very simi lar, while tho American woman was constitutionally much hardier, and less tall. In Miss Anderton's opinion tho German woman possessed the perfect figure. Although many of them were rather heavily built, they were beautifully proportioned and erect. The hands of tho Japanese women were the most expressive she had seen.
