A survey of postwar fashion trends and social roles notes wearing coats and straight jackets, silk care remedies, and the shift to long trains. It discusses mothers and child carriages, demobilisation impacts on marriage ads, and the evolving role of Australian women after war.
The piece argues against pure intellectual life without physical and emotional activity. It says genuine health comes from a balanced life combining body, emotions, and senses. It warns against extremes of physical excess or sensory indulgence and stresses wholeness.
London faces a shortage of ballrooms as a government department plans a demobilisation dance but cannot secure venues. Dancing master W Knightsmith notes a boom in dances with many venues repurposed for war. The public flocking to new steps while old dances fade from West End programmes.
A rambling, satirical recollection of postwar letters and cables. The author skewers Woodrow's wartime typing mania, teachers' pay woes, a Perth celebration plea for funds, and political shifts. Scraps touch on Garden, unions, tobacco profits, and press attention with a mix of names and places.
The author describes a largely virgin southeast region about a hundred miles from Albany rich in quartz ironstone slate and metal bearing outcrops. Gold silver copper manganese and other minerals are reported with surface samples showing promising returns. He urges careful surveying and notes distant coal lignite and graphite hints, urging future exploration and acknowledging supportive officials.
