Solace For The Travel

Starved

THE novelty and pleasure of new experience is part of the joy of travel, but if the would be tourist has, perforce, to postpone his world trip for a year or two, what matter? He can, in the meantime, solace himself with journals such as “The B.P. Magazine,” which specialises in depicting life and scenes abroad as well as in Australia.

A publication of outstanding quality and full of interest, the September issue maintains the usual high standard of production. Its scope is world wide, and the articles and stories are illustrated by pictures of rare beauty, displayed and repro duced in the best possible manner.

If you would know something of scenes and incidents in Spain, Austria, China, the isles of the Pacific, California, and other countries, then do not fail to obtain a copy of this fascinating journal.

The contents cover many other subjects, including music, drama, fashion interviews with celebrities, attractive pages for children, as well as a special series of camera studies printed in sepia toned ink.

The cover, reproduced in full colour, is a fine study of Sydney Harbour, near The Heads, from a painting by John Allcot.

“The B.P. Magazine” is obtainable from all newsagents and bookstalls for 1/- per copy. Four shillings covers a year’s subscription, which is post free in the Commonwealth.*** The death occurred at Rarotonga, Cook Islands, on September 17, of Ettie Rout (Mrs. F. A. Hornibrook), aged 53. She was well-known as a writer on Polynesian topics, and, during the war, organised and equipped the Volunteer Sisterhood, which served first in New Zealand and later in Egypt. A book from her pen which dealt with the origin of the Polynesian peoples aroused considerable controversy some years ago.
