4 Gossip We Must
WELCOME BACK!
How nice it was to greet the Boathorns on their return from Home leave last Monday. It wa bad luck that the Aeneas should have arrived early, for they hap- pened to choose 'quite one of the. Toulest days imaginable, and. must have hated the very sight. of Hongkong, shrouded as it was in a genuine Peak fog. The weather cleared up a little in the afternoon; luckily, for all of us had time to hurry back and change into our "Sunday, best," ready to play in the bridge drive organised for the SP.C.A. Funds
AT THE HELENA MAY I forgot to ask exactly how many people turned up; but the 2 big roofs were both filled with tables and every table, had its full complement, to say nothing of the hostesses and some others who were wandering round see- ing that we had everything we could possibly need. Mrs. Garış. er was in charge of the games -upstairs, and looked most bual- nesslike in her suit of dark red brown elephant-crepe and her velvet hat. Mias. Scott Harston and Miss Gerrard carried round trays of sweets and cigarettes, and did a rearing trade in both, while Mrs. Dudley King and Mrs. Martel Hall were responsible for the teas. Mrs Roffey, very neat » in a grey knitted suit and black hat, saw us all settled, and then came round collecting table money in her capacious leather bag:"

It is a pity that more Chinese ladies do not take to riding, for culte apart from the fact that the ladies races at Fanling and Macro will be all the more in- teresting then riding is one of the ideal forms of exercise.
