There are also three pantrama views, "From the -Harbour," | "Victoria," and "Repulse Bay," the inclusion of which should make a very special appeal to the resident who wishes to keep or send away to friends overseas an adequate pictorial idea of what Hong Kong looks like.
Altogether, it should prove to be a most acceptable little book, and, published at the nimble dollar, there ought to be no doubt as to it com- manding a very ready sale.
The publishers, Messrs. Kelly & Walsh, are to be congratulated on giving us another little souvenir of the Island in which we live and which will hold for so many the happiest of memories long after they have left its shores for the Homeland or for other climes with less, pretensions to pictorial beauty.

ROCKEFELLER POET
THE POEM'S AUTHORSHIP
Not a British servant girl, to whom Mr. John D. Rockefeller at- tributed the authorship of the poem which he distributed at Lakewood, N. J., but a young British author of some note, Cecily Hallack, pen- ned the stanzas which caught Mr. Rockefeller's fancy, if an account. of its history published in the "Daily Chronicle," is correct: The `author, who had previously written "Beardless Counsellors" and "Can- dlelight Attic," according to this account, composed the poem as a message to a girl friend who com plained that domestic drudgery was spoiling her hands for violin play- ing. It was written eight years ago.
"A typewritten copy of the poem, without the name of the author, at- tached was dropped into the letter- box of a clergyman," the explans- tion continued. "This led to three verses of it being published in the "Home Missioner," where it was seen by a maid in service in the Midlands. So perfectly did it ex- press her own ideals that she dream- ed she had composed it herself.
As the work of a servant of 19 years of age, it found its way into the hands of a noted London prea- cher who quoted it in a lecture and caused it to be printed in his maga zine."
The "noted London preacher" is presumably by Dr. G. Campbell Morgan, who is known to have read such a poem at a service in the Summer of 1928 at Westminster' Chapel, London. "The Westminster Record" also printed the poem above the initials "M. K. H."
The three stanzas thus published are those printed on the cards which Mr. Rockefeller handed out to men bers of the Lakewood Church con- gregation. According to the quoted account in the "Literary Digest" however, there were seven stanzas in the original poem which the author has now caused to be pub lished in full under the title. The Divine Office of the Kitchen."%
