Miss Bathie Stuart, who will be remembered in New Zealand as a smart entertainer and amateur actress, writes from San Francisco to say that she will leave on a trip to New Zealand on May 28. Miss Stuart has probably done more to advertise New Zealand on the Pacific Slope than any other woman. She is a clever singer of Maori songs, and wherever she goes is in demand for her bright talks (with vocal diversions) on the Maori, and New Zealand generally. Miss Stuart will be accompanied on the trip by Nancy Baker Tompkins, of Los Angeles, whom Miss Stuart describes as “an unusual woman.”
