  • 9 Mar 1923: On Saturday, February 24, the tennis and croquet clubs combined in tendering a welcome home to Mrs Drake, who has just returned from England, where she has spent the past twelve months. A dainty afternoon tea was served, during which Judge Bevan, president of the Tennis Club, and Mrs. Kirkwood, president of the Croquet Club, welcomed Mrs. Drake on her return to the respective clubs. Miss Burd, a niece of Mrs Drake, who has accompanied her home, was also made welcome, and best wishes expressed for a happy time during her sojourn in Beaconsfield. Christine Maybelle Drake8
  • 5 Jul 1923: Dance at Upper Beaconsfield.
    At the invitation of Lt.-Col. and Mrs. G. H. Knox, a number of their friends from Upper Beaconsfield and the surrounding districts, and also Melbourne were present at the delightful dance held in the Assembly Hall, Upper Beaconsfield, on Friday evening, June 22. The guest of the evening was Miss K. Bird, cousin of the hostess, who is on a visit from England, and the dance was given in honor of her twenty-first birthday. The supper room of the hall was converted into a cosy lounge, with easy chairs, carpets, and a glowing fire. Bridge tables were provided for non-dancers. On a large table in the supper-room was arranged a buffet supper.
    The hall was gaily decked with cerise and violet streamers festooned from a centrepiece arranged with hoops of paper flowers of the same color and greenery. Tall oriental lamps and festoons of greenery, with cerise flowers, made a very effective screen round the dias, on which the musicians were seated. Mr. K. R. Pinkerton (of Berwick) was responsible for the artistic decorations of the hall. At 10 p.m. the guests retired to Salisbury House, opposite the hall, to partake of a sit-down supper.
    After midnight a large birthday cake, with twenty-one candles burning brightly on it, was carried into the hall, and cut by Miss Bird. The hostess (Mrs. G. H. Knox) wore a gracefully draped frock of apricot changeable taffeta, caught at the side with monkey fur: she carried an Early Victorian posy of autumn tints. Miss K. Bird was dressed in dainty mauve taffeta, with panels of Valenciennes lace, and a deep collar of georgette edged with similar lace.
    Among the guests present were.—Messrs. R. Knox (Melbourne), Dare (Melbourne), Lester, Beauchamp, Capt. Tate, Messrs. J. F. Sturken, Bunt, Day, K. R. Pinkerton, J. Swords, R.

  • 28 Mar 1924: Last Saturday afternoon at about 4 o'clock, Mr McBride's house was burnt down. Mrs McBride had first lit the kerosene stove which evidently was leaking and the stand caught fire. Mrs McBride and Mrs Charley, who were in the house alone, made every endeavor to put the fire out but the flames quickly spread and the house was soon demolished. The total contents of the building were lost, including an amount of new furniture which had only arrived a few days previously and had not been unpacked. The building only was covered by insurance. David Norman McBride, Helen Josephine McBride21
