The Essential Evening Effect
Correct evening wear is a harmony of individual items judged together in order to make sure that every detail, is in accord.
This is the basic idea behind Mackintosh's Evening Wear Service
making it a simple matter jo select-in one shop, at one time-the details which dovetail into each other with that perfect harmony of style, material and fit in which consists the essential correctness of evening wear.

This school, which is now 25 years old, is housed in a fine moderil building overlooking the harbour, and has a staff of four masters, three Anglo Chinese and one verna- cular and supplies the educational needs of a large community. Un- fortunately,, as Mr. Hon, the Head- master, pointed out in his report, only a small proportion of the village people can afford an educa- tion for their sons, and still fewer can send them on to the senior collages in Hong Kong when they

The speaker pointed out that. the pre-War English sovereign fell within the first category. Before the War, coinage of sovereigns was rutirely without restriction, and there was no real restriction on the melting or export of these coms. Because of this, there could be no appreciable divergence be tween the value of gold and the value of the sovereign. For near. ly a contary, as Professor Cannan had pointed out, the British overign would buy what the amount of gold it contained would exchange for, and the existence of coined and uncoined gold side by side under the conditions mentioned was adequate proof of their hay ing canal value, weight for weight of gold.
