An invitation to a wedding and the etiquette of gifting is discussed. The piece notes that presents are not obligatory for guests who cannot attend and suggests appropriate gifts for both families, distinguishing between near and distant acquaintances. It emphasizes choosing tasteful, personal tokens over generic items.
A fragmentary reminiscence discusses the empire men in a company’s service, noting two entry gates into its system via cadetships in military or civil ranks. It cites letters and diaries, including a July 8 1776 note from Burrupore, and reflects on the lives of sons of well-to-do families and the broader European service tradition.
A long fragment traces the Florida boom era as migrants rush south, builders promise vast development across Miami and surrounding areas, and investors pour money into waterfront estates and new towns. It notes rising land values, rumored profits, and plans for hotels, streets, and public works, while warning of a speculative surge and mounting debt.
The new Income Tax Bill was introduced today in the Assembly by the Premier Mr Baaglie, proposing a tax of £1 in the pound on money from lease or sale of motion picture films not produced in Australia. The Opposition backed the motion, with the bill payable retroactively, potentially saving three million pounds that would have been paid but was not.
A fragmentary meditation on Vienna’s postwar state and the Habsburg legacy.
