I want to thank those too who sent me such party Xmas cards and all of you for your good wishes. There was even one letter from Canton and it was nice to hear how much everyone liked the stories.

"Yes. Tommy." she answered, "Lots of people are coming to let in the New Year."
And then she, told him how on New Year's Eve, when twelve o'clock struck, every one wished each other a happy New Year and at home, in England, all the church bells rang a merry peal.
Children all wake up and say "Why it's surely New Year's Day !" 1920 could not stay, 1920 went away, welcome 1921 !

settled in this respect.. In the mean-
time the Shanghal Race Club have taken over a great block of shares in
the International Recreation Club, who control the Klangwan Racecourse upon which the Kiang- was golf links are laid, and as a great majority of the members of the Shanghai Race Club are all-round sportsmen and keen golfers there is no doubt that the tenancy of the Kiangwan links by the Shanghai Golf Club is now upon a more secure basis than has been the case until recently.

Hongkong is fortunate in having good roads and a railway, enabling Shanghai is not so fortunate, and the Fanling to be reached in comfort. acquisition of a golf course there is a very serious proposition. The Chinese hardly to be compared with the syne authorities around Shanghai are «" pathetic authorities controling the New Territories, who bave made the golfers' paradise at Fanling possible.
