GREETING.—It is in Felix where you may best study the “city” type of Australist. He is a British type modified by the effects of a Southern European climate. His friendly disposition means any new acquaintance is immediately invited to “Come and have a drink” and often on the foundation of a few minute’s talk over that drink ( usually a Berger Fuzz ) a stranger may well be invited to enjoy a Mediterranean vice at one of the numerous Corps De Intercourses.

PHYSIQUE.—It is in such “Toss Houses” the observer from abroad will, looking closely, see that the physiognomy of the Australist tends to be a departure from the British, towards a thinner, darker, more vivacious type. In Felix, this is more noticable ; in Ile de Marie, where cold, overcast winters help to preserve the “stocky” ruddy type, less so.

ARTISTIC PICTURES.—As a result, the Marian citizen will often reveal a more shrivelled love for the open air, and, consequently, his homelife will be more conventional and somewhat more “cultivated”. He buys pictures for his house, whilst the Felix - dweller is more inclined to live out these pictures in the Nature provided.
