CATSMEAT
BY FELIX. In one respect gossip writers are like cats. They can play with their victims without any serious fear of reprisal. Felix's poor little social mice may not be pleased by some of his remarks. But they will read on in the hope that some of their rivals and enemies (who we must
friends) will be even more deciraat- ed than theirselves! After all, a mild dislike is the oll which makes the social windmill go round. It is tedious to hear, week after week that Miss X was radiant in white satin and Mrs Y looked loveller than ever.
Felix has seen many curious per- formances but, removing nuts from other peoples' tables at the Roof Garden while the rightful owners are still eating seems, perhaps, & little peculiar for a prominent Hong Kong debutante. Perhaps, too, she was a little lashed up by her partner's eloquence, for they both talked loudly throughout the cabaret.
