Hong Kong's real Wel- come to her Visitors
Hong Kong, the Island of Fragrant Streams, has been describ- ed by one or two distinguished visitors to its shores as being (a), if stand of fish" and (b), provincial, in its attitude--but Hong Kong always offers a tremendous welcome to tourist ships.
This is not entirely cupboard love, though naturally the merchants of the Colony, welcome the business that each tourist ship inevitably bring them. What is so delight- ful and refreshing to merchants and residenta alike is the obvious plea-. sure that these visitors take in turning over, admiring and buying, the Oriental goods displayed to tempt them. We who have lived for several years in Hong Kong have lost that first careless rapture; the jade and the amber, the crystal and rose quartz, the marvellous porcelain and the glowing colours familiar of cloisonné waré, are wonders. We pass them daily in the shop windows, either we have already bought all we can afford or nced, or we know that we cannot in any case indulge ourselves with the delight of possessing them.
We look in the glowing windows of the sill stores to see what new. patterns are to be found, to check whether prices are lower or higher than a week ago, or just because we tove pretty things, but our hearts no longer melt with longing; we no longer feel that mad impulse to go in and buy, and buy, and buy Wer purchase what we need or what

BRIEF SHOPPING GUIDE. FOR LURLINE
TOURISTS
Hong Kong: You are here at last, perhaps it is your first visit to this Colony which has been called the gate-way of China," if so you will be more than even anxious to see something of the wonderful goods produced by the artists and craftsmen of the Orient. You will want to know where you can find genuine old porcelain, bronzes and cloisonné, where jado and amber can best be bought, where you can find the exquisite embroidered linens of which you have heard; where genuine mandarin garments and all the marvellous old embroidery cha be purchased. Perhaps you are considering furnishing your sun parlour with rattan, you will want in that case to know of a reliable firm of rattan exporters. No doubt you, will want to buy silks, perhaps have some thin frocks or whites" made.
The answer to all these questions will be found in the pages of this supplement. The Grms who are advertising here are all well established and have a reputation for fair and honest dealing. For your convenience in locating them, two maps will be found in the supplement, one of Hong Kong, the other of Kowloon,
One thing we would specially ask, that you do not neglect Kowloon. The shops that are to be found in Nathan Road and in the quarter behind the Peninsula Hotel generally are very well worth visiting, you will of course make the acquaintance of those in the Arcade of the Hotel itself, also those along Hankow Road, Whether you are visiting our shores for the first time or are returning here with pleasant memories of an earlier visit we bid you a warm welcome. In the pages of this supplement, we have tried to give you a helping hand, we want you to enjoy Hong Kong, to leave 'regretfully and to come back
