FORESTS SURVIVE THE AGES
Flora OF Australia Different From

in the World.

one readily understands why the
Australian loves his trees. The groves
of giant eucalyptus form pictures never
forgotten, and the scent of the waffle
brings n homesick feeling like the smell
of sage to the WestCrner.
The flora is not only beautiful, 1t Is
unique and has no counterpart i'm other

graphic Magazine. OF the 10000
species of plants most of them are
purely Australian and are unknown

In Australia many of these ancient

COURTESY In the Home.

Why should daily life together de.

love each other, no matter at what

grant each other the treatment which
ordinary good breeding exacts, would
respect one another as individuals, not
as household furniture, would foster
mutual forbearance and ordinary POI
likeness in "llttle things" then the
divorce courts would be cheated, chill
