She is charmingly fresh and girlish, with a bright smiling face and a delightfully naive manner, that it is difficult to | realise.
The little lady has reached an awe-inspiring position in the musical world. To acquire eight magic lettera after her name Jean Wells must have studied hard. but it has left no trace of the tired, drooping, manner. On the contrary Miss Wells is full of fun and is enjoying her tour of the East immensely.
She is much interested in the various countries and nation- alities she has come into contact with during her travels. And she is responsible in no amal? degree for the delightful musi- eal side of the performances of the Warwick Revue Co. Places

Yesterday I saw a wonderful sight, welten a correspondent. In the scene spread before me, I saw the "Bremen" lying close to her galiant old rival, the "Mauretania,' the "Majestic" lying next the "Olympic," and the "Leviathian" next the "Aquitania," while the "La France," "Paris" "Columbus" ali lie in close proximity to ench other.

At a glance I saw all the master- į pieces and the workmanship of man in the shipbuilding of all nations clustered together a sight one has to travel the world over to see..
It was at the residence of Mr. P. A. Silva, of 1, Austin-avenue, Kowloon. that I saw the thrilling sight. Spread on a huge table i covered with white cloth, were ; table-models of the
"Bremen," "Mauretania," "Majestic." und score or more other huge trans Atlantic liners. In addition, I saw models of vessels that frequent the waters of Hong Kong Harbour, and these included the "Empress of Canada." Empress of Asia." "Pre- sident Wilson." "Sphinx." and the P. & O. "Ranpura" and "Mantua."
The models are the handicraft of Mtr. Jerry Silva, 14 years old, attending the St. Joseph College, who is to sit in the near future for his Junior Local Examination.
His aptitude for model ship con- struction is not limited to merchant vessels, for I saw exact replicas of the H.M.S.
