The Jade Tree is displaying in the Temple today a most comprehensive line of new sports necklaces. These are to be on sale for the week at just one half the marked prices. Nothing adds the touch of distinction to an otherwise plain costume like these beautiful creations. They are well worth a trip to Kowloon to view.
The Temple is open at night. The main Jade Tree stadio is closed after five o'clock, but if anything is really wanted it can be sold through the Temple.
