ENGLISH WOMEN

BEAUTY OF COMPLEXIONS Miss Stella Martin, the girl of 21 who went to London as Australia’s unofficial delegate for the Coronation, and who is being extravagantly feted in brilliant social events there because she typifies the young women of her Dominion, had some very nice things to say to English journalists about the English girls. “We always spot you in Australia straightaway by your enviable pink complexions,” she told a reporter. “English girls may get worried about their appearance, but if they knew how pleasant they look ‘down under’ they would never bother any more. “The sunshine at Wagga Wagga, where I come from, makes us tanned and leathery, and very placid, too. “Eut there is a curious contrast between us, for while the journey up from Plymouth would be regarded as Jus'- as little jaunt In New South Wales—l think nothing of motoring 40 miles for a game of tennis—your people are far livelier and more active than we are; at least, that is how it seems to me.” Miss Martin’s father is a doctor, and runs a cattle-farm as a hobby. She has just finished a science course at Sydney University. “At first my father did not want to let me come,” she continued, “but now I think he is pleased. He has never been here, and he will expect a most detailed report. I think that one of the first things I shall tell him Is that the London policemen are pleasantly fat, although I hope they will not mind my saying so.”
