A FARMER'S DAUGHTER
Sir,-In your interesting article on Madame Zelanda, I came across the astounding statement that she is a farmer’s daughter, and as though anticipating that this statement would be doubted, the words "believe it or not" were added. Sir, I think that this is straining our credulity too far. It is fantastic. I cannot believe it. My imagination simply boggles at anything so utterly incongruous, just as it has always boggled at the idea of the famous Australian prima donna Marjorie Lawrence being a farmer’s daughter. I do feel that farmers ought to stick to cows and pigs, and leave the more imaginative and artistic side of life to those better fitted
for it.-
