Evidence: | ' In Bourke Street I met Joe White & we commenced as usual chatting on different subjects. I asked what sort of a place the "Oriental Saloon" was as an article had appeared in the "The Age" which made it out to be a terribly dissipated place & one that ought to be put down. It seemed that at first the waitresses had been dressed as Bloomers. Their costume was then altered & instead of trousers, they wore short skirts & spangled dresses. White said it was all humbug so far as the description of The Age went & asked me to go in for a moment & have a look. The Age article had evidently excited a good deal of curiosity for numbers were evidently judging for themselves, among others was the Editor of The Australasian & several friends.' |
