The alive, bright brown eyes across the tea table speak of past adventures which, while quite commonplace to her, mako the rest of us seem very dull by comparison. She laughs and jokes easily and la eager to discuss any sub- Ject imaginable. But over all lies a deep, inescapable sincerity.

BRITAIN'S FUTURE IN ASIA
IS JUST BEGINNING
By PAVID T. K. WONG
Singapore.
AUSTIN Coates, author and former Hongkong District Officer, thinks Britain's future in Asia is only just beginning.
This is because "we are beginning on a new basis of equality" and that is why he feels it worth- while to live in Asia.
The 37-year-old son of the late Eric Coates, the famous composer of light music, said this when he flew in for a four-day stay here from Sarawak where he has been working for the last two years as the adviser to the Sarawak Government on Chiness Affairs.
AUSTIN COATES No Illustratiana
MRS SANSBURY Surrounded by history
(The Chinese now form the largest racial group in Sarawak).
Ho is at present on leave and will go on a tour of Asian cities, including Hongkong, when he leaves Singapore.
He has spent the last 15- years of his life in Asia. Ho started in India towards the end of World War II and then moved on to Burma, Hongkong arud Sarawak.
Fiction Now
The author of the travel books "Invitation to an Eastern -Feast" and "Per- sonal and Oriental" has recently switched over to fiction.
His first novel, The Road," which deals with a European couple in Chinese environment, will be published in New York in May and London in June.
Meanwhile, he has already started on a second novel about Canton in the 1790's. "I find writing novels much more satisfactory than writing travel books," he said. "At least you don't have to worry about
illustrations."
