MAN is a poor creature If he has no friends: yet friends, with the best of intentions, may some- times come near to ruining a man, as the cttse of David shows.
David is a pleasant, rathe serlow-looking young man, 21 years old, single. His parents gave him a good education at a public school, but could not pro- vide han with a herne life after that, for they had separated.

Royal Visit
FROM H. KING WOOD
Sydney, Dec. 31.
Now that the Christmas rush is over, every- thing is being geared to the Royal visit. Right through the holidays, with the exception of Christ- mas Day itself, gangs of men have been at work cleaning up public buildings.
It would be anyone's guess how many gallons of paint have been poured onto Sydney buildings over the last few months, but there is no doubt that it has all helped to give the old place a face- lift.
In Adelaide a panel of four experts have begun to select the wines which the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh will drink at official functions in Australia.
A South Australian wine- travels about 8.x months of the maker has criifșired the decision | year-stays home the rest of of New Zealand to scrve French the time. wines at official Punellons.
