ABE AUSTRALIAN WOMEN “GADABOUTS?” AN EDITOR PROVES THEY ARE NOT. The statement of an oversea visitor that most Australian women are “gadabouts’’ is denied flatly by an Australian publisher. He points out that from the office of two popular women’s publications — “Everylady’s Journal” and “The New Idea”—over six million patterns per year go out to Australian home-dressmakers. These figures go to prove that there is a vast army of home-loving women who, with clever and nimble fingers, make their own or the kiddies’ clothes. How can most of them be “gadabouts”? If August issue of “Everylady’s Journal” is unobtainable locally, a copy will be mailed to any address if 7d in stamps is sent to the Publisher, “Everylady’s Journal,” 230-236 Stanley Street, West Melbourne, C. 3, Victoria. The largest penknife ever made weighs 421 b., has 1851 blades, and is valued at more than £l5OO.
