Some suits are fine for parading the sands in-but oh, how they look when wet loose and floppy about the legs-the last word in discomfort.
That is not the kind of sea suit we commend. You need a suit that fits-thus you avoid that awful after-bathing inelegance. Let us show you how comfort is achieved at modest cost in bathing suita.

OUTLINE OF CAREER.
Mr. M. J. Quiat, Consul-General for the Netherlands, who has been in Hong Kong for ten years, is going home on leave to-day, by the R.M.S. Empress of Bussin :-

At a moment's notice he had to leave for Singa- pore. There his chief was Mr. H. Spakler, now rentier in Paris, perhaps the most brilliant Consul- General the Dutch Government ever had east of Suez.
