YOU ARE INVITED TO VISIT
THE NEW SILK
MECCA
6, D'Aguilar Street. NOW OPEN
Hongkong is probably the cheapest silk market in the world on account of it being a Free Port.
For nearly a century, silken fabrics have been bought and sold here, and never were prices lower than to-day.
The newest Store, the MECCA, has
been inaugurated by silk merchants who have long years of experience and reputation to their credit. ONLY ESTABLISHED AND REPUTABLE QUALITIES are stocked.
while prices are the very lowest consistent with quality.

He suggests that a man's monthly income be divided into three parts the first representing the mini- mum cost of feeding, housing, and clothing himself and family. If unhappily there is nothing left over after making this provision, It is obviously unnecessary to talk about the second and third por- tions-but there are many whe ave plenty left over after meeting all demands for necessities, and it is to them that Mr. Wang offers this suggestion. The surplus in- come should be divided into two parts one of savings and recrea tion or amusements, the other for public welfare work, in the pro- portions of two to three or, if one be more generously inclined, one to two. That is to any, for every dollar spent on the "pictures", a
