Evening Wear
The easy distinction of correct evening wear is not attained by accident. It is the result of a careful co-ordination of details into a perfect harmony of style, material and fit...a harmony which the Mackin- toshs Evening Wear Service makes it a simple matter to achieve.
Mackintosh's Evening Wear not only reflects the latest approved ideas in styles; it embodies many refinements
which assure individual comfort and fit. Thus Summit Dress Shirts are cut like a coat to slip on with as little fuss as a dinner jacket. Summit Dress Collars are made in quarter sizes to fit the shirt perfectly. Dress Ties are made in the correct length for each size of collar. Dress Waistcoats are available in a wide range of fittings.

HIGH REVELRY AT PENINSULA HOTEL
CHIEFTAIN'S ELOQUENT TRIBUTE TO
SCOTTISH NATIONALISM
The St. Andrews' Society annual ball held at the Peninsula Hotel last night was notable as usual for the assembly of a large and distinguished gathering of Hongkong's best-known Scots and their guests.
The picturesque attive of the clausinen, the merry skirl of the pipes, and the observance of the age-old ritual and customs, BO dear to the heart of every Sent, combined to make the occasion nemorable.
The decorations breathed Seatland Kself, Arrayed around the walls and pillars of the ruse room and ball-rooms wwie the various elan shields festooned with illuminated clusters of Scots' 'Thistles. Groups of thistles worò also prominently displayed on the Chief- tain's table, while in the ante-chambers, facing the guests na they stepped out of the lift was a large portrait of Burns Blanked with Scotland's national emblem
His Excellency Sir William Peel and Lily Peel were the guests of honour and were formally received by this Chieftain (Mr. K. E. Greig).

"Owad some. Tow'r the giftia

To see oursels as others see us,” After that, ladies and gentlemen, I am sure you will pardon my few remarks on Scotland and St. An- draw's Society:
Bir Walter Scott.
On these occasions our thoughts turn naturally to matters Scottish. This year we, and in fact the whole world, have honoured the centenary of the death of our great national writer, Sir Walter Scott (Ap plause). What Scotsman does not think with pride of the life of this great man, so eloquently paid tri- bute to by our member, Mr. Kay, at our celebration? What an ox- ample of honesty and upright character! What a combination of brilliance and hard work!
Many of us older folk have travel- led far in foreign lands, and may not in fact have seen Caledonia's rugged grandeur for many a day; still, in every true Sest there is highly developed, and retained, an overgroen memory of the cherished homeland.
Scotland was ever à progressive and democratio country. In no country in the world are greater opportunities for education placed within the reach of all, and many are the jokes made by ourselves and our friends about the raw lads The Hon. Mr. T. N. Chau and Mrs, who are said to be caught like

The Scots as a race are great mi grators-partly through ambition to make their mark in the world: and partly on account of the lack of space and opportunity in their own small country.

THE CHIEFTAIN'S SPEECH
The Chieftain, (Mr. K. E. Grieg) said:-Your Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen---
I have the honour, as Chieftain of St. Andrew's Society, to welcome you here to-night. I won't damp pour joy or delay your dancing by asking you to listen to a lot of havers from me. The privilege, does, however, fall to me, as oc cupant of the presidential chair, to make a few remarka
My early recollections of St. Andrew's Society bring to mind the names of many old friends, and this annual ball is an occasion on which I am sure many of us," especially the older members, look back and remember those old friends and happy times.
Enjoy It!'
80. In ordinary times, with hon- eaty, perseverence, the will to work and a sense of humour, one can be happy in whatever sphere one's lot is cast. This is the sentiment which is so beautifully expressed by Ro bert Burna in "The Cotter's Satur- day Night":-
"O Scotia! My dear, my nativo
soil!
For whom my warmest wish to
Heaven is sent!
Long may thy hurdy sons of
rustic toil
Be blest with health, and peace,
and sweet content]
And, O may Heaven their sim-
ple lives prevent
From luxury's contagion, weak
and vile!
Then, howe'er crowns and coro.
nets be rent,
A virtuous populace may rise the
while,
And stand a wall of fire around
their much-lov'd ̧ inle.”.
