· EFTERTAINMENTS,
THE CORONET
In connection with our recent ob- servations on the open traffic in children and girls in Hongkong, we have received from Lieut.-Com- woander C. B. L. Haslewood further evidence of the disgraceful state of affairs, says the Church Times "From personal experience,” hì writes "I can substantiate the facts in your article, that children in Hongkong are to-day openly bought and sold in the colony for the purpose of domestic servitude and prostitution, for the simple reason that the bayers and sellers go unprosecuted.” In support of his statements, Commander Halewood sends us a number of documents, among them some newspaper ex- tracts that leave no doubt of the truth of the matter. For example, we have before us the report of legal | proceedings in which two Chinese women were charged with conspiring with others to "defraud a woman of the sum of $120. The complainant¦| 2511. stated that on August 7 she bought agirl from one of the defendants. She paid $120; a deed executed and signed by both the defendants, the first being the go- between. The day after the purchase the girl had disappeared. The požit to be observed is the entirely open manner in which complicity in the act of buying the girl is admitted by the complainant. Other cuttings relate to charges of horrible cruelty towards these wretched girl slaves. Yet, in spite of all the evidence that is available, the GOTE-- ment in Hongkong "declares itself unable to agree that a condition of girl slavery exists in Hongkong." | - This is clearly a matter that must be pressed; and we trust that Colonel John Ward, Sir Alfred Yeo, Mr. Myers, and Dr. Murray will continue thing shall be no longer tolerated under the British fag.

News bas been received in Shanghai by mail, of the death of a very old and well known Chica hand in the person of Mr. Duncan Glass, which occurred at his residence, Clutha Lodge, Bournemouth, November 25, 1920, at the age of 74 years,
The prim and proper rules of, good society which seem to be eur- rent in Tientsin are attacked in the P. & T. Tites by a Bachelor.” He writes to that paper as follows: "Is it not time that the Tientsin unmarried ladies followed the able lead of their sisters in most civilized parts of the world by discarding the chaperon to the extent of (say) allow. ing a male friend to escort them to the pictures or perhaps to dine them? At present they are so hedged in by gossip if they do any thing contrary to the traditions which have prevailed here for so many years that most of them seem to prefer the well-worn path, and one can hardly blame them. Surely those old enough to take care of themselves can be trusted to enjoy each other's corupany? If a few make a bold stand, I am sure the rest will follow."-It is reported that in other civilized places it is the men who are beginning to require chaperons.
