LIVING IN

THE recent broadcast

from Sydney by Joan Gillison on living, condi- tions in Australia was hardly designed as a guide, I think, for those visiting Australia. There were many false impressions.

To those of you who are off' for, the duration, my advice differs alightly to those spend- ing four to six months leave.

It is unlikely that any of you will settle in the coun- try, or even in the semi-rural districts outside the Metro- politan area-it is more like- ly that you will hug the beaches in the summer. with a possible revision of plans ag the summer fades.

There are two kinds of beaches the ocean beach with tumbling, rollicking surf, or the harbour beach with calm deep water nestling next the shore. There are in Sydney' and every capital city in Australia, as in every city in the world, stratas of society and classes of residential dis- tricts. It is for you to decide in which-you-care to live, but you can be sure the cost of living varies amazingly in each.

A RECENT letter from Sydney tells me that rents have gone up. com- Unfurnished flats that are fortable and fairly attractive are from £2 5s, a week, with odd ones here and there for the spry seeker at rather less. These dats are in the South Ilarbour side of Sydney, a convenient and attractive district in which to live. These suburbs are fifteen or twenty minutes from the heart of the city by 'bus or tram, less by taxl, which transport Is cheap at El, a mile. Tram and bus services are continuous and are more used than anything else,

You can expect to pay £3 3s. or so for a furnished flat of two bedrooms, living room, kitchenette and bathroom. This might include running hot water at no extra cost and will have a refrigerator and

Those of you who are going for the duration vill be advised to take your flat or house in the win- ter at-normal rent, and you have It then for subsequent summers at the lower and reasonable cost.

DOMESTIC help is not quite as difficult as it has been made to sound. You can get a cook-general for 30s. n week, but 30s. is quite an outlay when you are keeping two homes going probably, yours there and your husband's here.

Why not do what I would do? Have a daily woman for one or ane and half days a week. The figure of Is. an hour is correct, but experience taught me that "daffles" will not come than a half a day at a time, and will forego that in favour of an offer from some one else of a full day.

afternoon cups of tea, will take care of your laundry. On this day it is usual for them to do either bathroom or kitchenette. An extra half day would take care of the "donkey work" of the flat. This would be 18s. a week plus slight extras, and you do the light chores from day to day. This routine would hold no hardship for the average womon.

For the duration visitors who are concerned with keeping their habikles low, I can but advise what I myself would do...I should pack up my housenoid linen, cut- lery, crockery, etc., and take them along with me.

I should furniture this flat with oddments picked up from auction and bargain sales, the minimum re- quirements, and it is surprising how Httle you need to be comfort- -able when you do what the Mus-. tralians do, get out into the open air.

Naturally I should alm for a flat with a good number of things bullt in, and these can certainly be had. It the war lasts another year or more you will have effected a save, and have articles with a re-sale value into the bargain. The longer you stay the greater the advantage but no advantage unless you do it right away.

It may sound tiresome, or im- practical, because you are up in -the-uir,-and-cannot-feel-that-you- want to settle in-but I have done this before and have proved it to my satisfaction.

The main thing is to take your bits and pieces from here not for- getting your pots and pans-these are the things that cost money when you are setting up a house.

I should not advise taking furniture with you, the freight is very high. However, 1 belleve you may still, us when last I went on leave. take in household effects up to £100 duty free provided you are to be resident in the country for six months or more. Regula- tions change in war-time, so make Inquiries about these points.

TO both types of visitors I say take all your summer and winter clothes. Leave nothing behind that is wearable. There are vagaries in the ellinute especially in sum mer which proves this advice is sound.

A warm summer's morning can be as chilly as a duchess's dismissal by mid-day with a great deal less warning, so keep your cardigans and pull-overs ever делг your hand.

ONE final word of advice to the home-hunter. Go to the house-agents in the suburb in which you plan to dwell. There are plenty of them and competition is keen, and they have far more on their books than you will find in the agencies in the heart of the city, Don't tell, the agent all about where you came from and what not it all sounds like mil- lons and thousands to him and

Midget Europe States In War

The Sovereign Republic of the San Marino, with an area of 32 square miles and a po- pulation of 14,000, recently de- clared war on England. A is slightly comical flavour added to this gesture because San Marino forgot, until very recently, to conclude peace with Germany. While Europe in general enjoyed a respite of almost 21 years between San Marino major wars. technically jumped from one state of belligerence into an other.

San Marino's experience, in- cidentally, shows that even the smallest of Europe's mid- get States, most of them quaint survivals of the age of small States which live large- ly on tourists and postage stamps, are affected by the present European conflict. San Marino itself is located. near Rimini, in one of Italy's eastern coastal Provinces.

Under French Control

A still tinier midget state which has certainly felt the repercussions of the war is Monaco, with its international- ly famous resort of Monte Carlo. The writer paid a visit' to Monaco, with its oight square miles of territory and 20,000 inhabitants, early last spring, when France, was liv- ing in the illusion of a war without fighting. Monaco had Just proved to the whole world that it was a sovereign State; had signed a treaty of extradition with the United States.

An Important Spot The Grand Duchy of Luxemburg is rather outside the class of mid- get States. About 300,000 people live in its 099 square miles of ter- ritory and it is a substantial pro- ducer nt steel. But, like the smaller principalities, It has always been completely demilitarised and has consequently been a constant source of worry to the French General Staff.

When Reichsführer launched his drive against the West, Luxemburg was invaded along with the Netherlands and Belgium. The French promptly moved into Luxemburg themselves, but the Germans were there flrat, with

more men, and, what was more important, with more acroplanes and tanks. On the very eve of the invasion I was looking. across the France-Luxemburg bor- der at a little town where a small. river marked the boundary be- tween The two states. The com- plete calm on both sides of the stream must have contrasted strik- ingly with the thunders of the Blitzkrieg a few days later.

Two other midget States, Lloch- tenstein, with 12,000 inhabitants and an area of. 08 square miles, and Andorra, with 178 square miles and some 7,000 inhabitants, have not yet been and are probably hoping that their larger neighbours will not take, too much notice of ther
