Titled Authoress to Visit N.Z.

(From Our Own Cot respondent.) SYDN33Y, April 15. On her way to New Zealand, Ladf Susan Townley arrived in Sydney is the Orama. She is the travelling companion of Cynthia Stockley, tb« authoress of novels with South African settings, and is herself a writer. For the greater part of her life Ladf Townley has lived in foreign countries, as her husband, Sir Walt€f Townley, was in the Diplomatic SH" vice. Now she is taking a look at the Empire which they represented at Paris, Rome, Vienna, Lisbon, Bucharest, Constantinople, Belgrade, Teberan, The Hague, Buenos Aires and Peking. Her experiences in China are summed up in Lac.y Townley a “My Chinese Note Book,” other volume bearing her name is “The Indiscretions of Susan.” This world traveller has a warm appreciation of Australia and New Zealand as Empire outposts. Cynthia Stockley, who is still in Melbourne, is likely to be a little unpopular here, since in her stories of the veldt, be* “villains” frequently were Australians. Lady Townley sails for England via Panama, in order to see once more ti» great canal which she and her h*®* band saw in the making.
