THE HONGKONG DAILY
Make the Day's Work Bigger
These are the five Salf Starter Keys
TOT by working more hours, not
No by employing more hands,
but with your present staff and existing organization.
We can show you how to make each day's work of
your typist a bigger and better day's work. Not by putting more work on her, but by relieving her of it and putting it on the machine.
We can show you how our machine saves all of the time, usually wasted in making the customary indentations in letter writing. It does this by means of the automatic indenting mechanism known as the Self Starter. One touch on a Self Starter key indents the line-instantly.
The Self Starter is a Remington feature exclusively. It saves- nearly a minute in the writing of every letter.
Let the machine do it. This is the time saving secret of the

GETTING MARRIED BY POST: FUNNY FANCIES OF IGNORANT BRIDEGROOMS,
Sir, will you pienas send me`a, mar- riage licence for a soldierin khaki Postal order for 108, dd, enclosed. Yours
truly,"
This is an example of the case with which some bridegrons think marringes. can be licensed and settled. Some do not know the names of the girls they want to marry. Apparently they think they can take out a license, carry about with them until they meet the Fight` girl,' and then get married with- out any further trouble,

The ignorance of some people is illu- strated by the extraordinary answers they make to the questions asked on the forms sent out by the Surrogate in Doc- to.Commons, Creed Lane, Luigate Hill, London, who supplies licences to those desiring to marry without publica- tion of bangs. These licences cost £2, but one of the parties has to attest to A certain affidavit

"I know the contenta of the nets of David."
Inobly contidy with the affidavit. "I know the contents of the ante- dated, a

It was a Scotsman who wrote: "I Waltra liemee beexuse the marriage' only last.for saven · years, and at the end of a can part if we do not agres have only known her a short-time,"
Instances of quaint ignorance are given by Mr. Arthur S. May in his Kandbonic.on, Marriage. He was once told that if a portmantear" resided " -in a parish for: 15 days its owner was. entitled to a marriage licence; that |ande-recent-changes in the law.nman Quay marry his maiden aunt by proxy; "and that parental authority ceased at
18 years of age."
As a matter of fact, while a boy or and a girl of 12 can get married accord- ing to law, the consent of parent or guardian is necessary,în, the case of all persopa, under 21. And for the benefit of those who are thinking of marrying Eronch of Belgians, it might be men- tioned that in Franc the consent of parents, is required up to the age of 30 and in Belgium up to 20.

A poor ignorant woman, the legitimate daughter of Job and Martha Hodgkin- son who had always sheen. known.. as Mary, Hodgkinson, gave her surnanie as White when she put up her banns, be mehrause, by a curious error," the name of her parents appeared as White in her baptismul certificate, and she thought she was bound to follow it. On that ground her marriage was annulled.

NATIONAL BEAUTY AT AN ALARMING PRICE

The craze for cosmeties has reached a zenith never before attained in modern times. Civilised countries in all parts of the world are annually employed in a gigantic manufacture of beauty aids and improvers that tre to be found on the fringes of the lands where the war-paint nl the savages is left behind..
Statisticians have approximated that the annual sum of money spent in Ame- rich by women on cosmetics and their ancillaries amounts to tone hundred mil- hún pounds, which may be contrasted With the 208,000,000, the amount of the entire naval programme for 1921.
Mias America'a habit of powdering her age nlone cost ten million pounds last year, no amount of money calculated to be sufficient to build a giant Dreadnought and leave three hundred thousand pounds for other purposes.
Reefs of coral lip-salve, mountains öf powder, lakes of liquid rouge, and miles of eye-brow pencils are annually being imported in Great Britain to give the artistic finish to the complexion of the proverbial English rose,
