[To Tar EDITOR or TRH specs/atm.] Sin,—May I add a
few words to " Anzac'a " letter in your issue of October 9th P Ho was our " convalescent guest" for a short time before starting for Australia. We live in a small private road in one of the most favoured parts of Suburbia. There are six houses in the road, but our small population includes only three mon, one of whom is an elderly invalid. At the bottom, a young able-bodied man, gardener to one of the houses, lives with his smart, fashionably dressed wife and one child. At the top of the road dwells a still younger and equally able-bodied man, who may be seen at all hours of the day (or night) rushing about the country or tearing up the lane in his luxurious motor-car. It is sights such as these and many others which be had daily before his eyes that moved " Anzac " to write to you. He is not young—" perilously near the age of fifty." His business has been ruined by the war, his health permanently impaired. He is returning to Australia
with shattered nerves to start life afresh. I leave your readers to point the contrast for themsolves.—I am, Sir, &c.,
" ANzAO'S" HOSTESS.
