LADY JULIUS.
An Interesting Personality.
Modestly admitting to Truth that her husband's elevation to knightdom was 'a one-man affair' which she had not helped earn the chatelaine of "Chollerton" wife of Sir Ceorge Julius, gave a striking unconscious glimpse of her fine charm and disarming simplicity during the interview at her home last week.
Lady Julius is a tall woman, with lovely while hair, a young face, possessed of gentle. dignified manner, and a soft voice. Naturally, she is averse to publicity. Formerly Miss Eva O'Connor, of New Zealand, engineering is in her blood, her father being a noted engineer. The family spent many years in Western Australia, where Mr. O'Connor successfully undertook to the water at the famous goldfields (sic).
Lady Julius plays tennis and croquet but her chief interest outside her home is the Newtown free kindergarten.
Indeed, any of the problems attendant on the welfare of babies and children are sure to find a sympathetic and helpful hearing. 'Chollerton' itself is an utterly charming home. Built about seventy years ago, it has been altered just enough to comply with modern ideas of comfort. Built on the hillside, it looks out on the harbor, over cool, green lawns and trees. There is not only a well in the garden, so deep that it has never been plumbed, but there is treasure reputed to be buried some where in the vicinity. The property next door was known as "Malcolm's Folly," and was built by smugglers. What a small boy's paradise!
The harbor waters at one time came up to the house, and the ships sailed right in and took aboard fresh water from the unplnmbed depths of the well. The front entrance is delightful, A large glass door, faintly golden, with green wood work opens on to a most unususl entrance hall, two flights of stairs lead downward - the joy. of artists and the despair of house maids.
The whole house spells peace and softness and comfort, and makes just the right setting for the lady with the flower-blue eyes, whose home it is.

HISTORY OF THE JULIUS HOME
THERE is an Interesting story attaching to the home of Sir George and Lady Julius, at 93 Yarranabbe-road. Before they took possession it was known as Malcolm's Folly, as it was built by an old sea captain over 80 years ago to represent as nearly as possible a ship on land. The top storey, or "upper deck," was built on a level with Yarranabbe-road, and each lower floor was meant to convey the idea of lower decks. The upper deck was however, removed when its present owners took charge. They also made great improvements in the grounds, which were merely a sandy waste with an odd peppercorn tree here and there. To day winding paths lead through a cool, refreshing rock garden to the lower garden, where an ever running spring trickles down among the ferns and creepers. Shadow traceries are made by the sunshine through the tall palm trees, and a huge Port Jackson figtree spreads shady arms over the lawns and sandy beach. From this garden a bridgeway leads over the swimming pool to the landing steps, where the launches from Circular Quay will arrive, The home has its own tiny beach and pool. The model city, which was built by Sir George Julius when his boys were small, was designed for their amusement and instruction, and has since proved a delight to many hundreds of other children who have seen it. By the manipulation of dozens of switches, electric trains, soldiers and horses, a ferry on a mirror lake, the Kandra cement works, signals, and scores of other little contraptions are brought to life, and present a scene of the greatest animation. The mannequin parade will be held on an adjoining tennis court which Mr. and Mrs. H. B. Phipps have lent. The court is ideally suited for the purpose, and has a garden gateway leading into Lady Julius's garden.

LADY JULIUS
Wife of the well-known scientist, Sir George Julius, whose name became a household word many years ago through his clever invention of the totalhator, is also mother of three sons, now grown up. Both Sir George and Lady Julius hail from New Zealand, where Sir George's father, Bishop Julius, was the Primate of the Islands of the South for many years. About fifteen years ugo. Lady Julius took up kindergarten work, "as I had finished my own personal kindergarten at home," she explained, and joined the Newtown Free Kindergarten, one of the earliest of the kindergartens. The president then was Miss Margaret Harris. Always interested in children, Lady Julius soon joined up in the work of the crippled children movement and at present her dream of an after treatment home is about lo be realised and will doubtless prove a boon to the afflicted children. Curative work in connection with these children has often been sadly handicapped through lack of some such home which will gtve the organisers much greater scope in effecting improvements and cures of their tittle patients. The Sydney Day Nurseries are further interests of this philanthropic woman, who also finds time in her busy life for the Girl Guide Movement. Lady Julius's home In Yaranabbe road Darling Point, is a popular rendezvous for fete organisers, who always find Sir George Julius's scenic railway, built during the adolescence of his sons as a practical hobby for them, a most lucrative proposition, as this railway, a clever engineering effort, has become far-famed and hundreds of people are always eager to Inspect it. Needless to say. Lady Julius's pet charities are nearly always the beneficiaries. Lady Julius is herself one of Sydney's most soignee matrons, is always fashionably dressed and in excellent taste. Is quite a good speaker, though inherently modest, and one of the most feminine or our feminists, this latter word being used In its most flattering sense. Is extremely popular among a large circle of cultured friends.

LADY JULIUS Visits Albion Park
The local company of Girl Guides appreciated the visit of the State Chief Commissioner, Lady Julius, on Saturday, 24th April. Lady Julius, who was accompanied by Mrs. Dorsch from Headquarters, arrived at about 11.30 a.m. and was met by the Guides in charge of Miss A. Thickett. After lunch, the Mayor (Ald. K. Grey) welcomed Lady Julius and Mrs. Dorsch to the district and with him were Mrs. A. S. Hoskins, Divisional Commannder, of N.S.W., Miss Pritchard, District Commissioner and representatives from all local organisations. In the course of his remarks the Mayor spoke of the advantage the visit of Lady Julius was to local Guides and of the local interest it focussed on the movement. To Miss Pritchard, the Mayor paid tribute for her kindness to and interest in the Albion Park girls and felt sure that Miss Pritchard must feel happy because of their successful year. Mrs. McKinnon supported the Mayor and on behalf of the Executive Committee thanked Lady Julius for coming along. Lady Julius said she was especially pleased to see so many men on the committee. Mentioning how important Guiding is now and that its training was an excellent foundation for young people, Lady Julius exhorted all parents to take a keen interest in the movement and to help their daughters to join. Lady Julius told how the Guide Laws taught loyalty to God, King and Country and to respect the law. It had been formed through six girls attending a Scout Rally and had progressed so much that during the war, the girls had been able to give valuable help. Lady Julius finally spoke of the fine work done by Miss Pritchard, and Miss Thickett and appealed for more leaders to help build up the movement. Mrs. Dorsch told of the work done by correspondence for the Lone Guides, Crippled, Deaf, Dumb and Blind children, and in reformatories, where many fine results have been attained. She spoke of the gift shops now established in Eastwood and Parramatta and which were raising nearly L1000 a year to help the movement. Mrs. Dorsch appealed for gifts for the shops and said that wool would be provided to those willing to make it into suitable articles for sale.
