THE COLONY'S LOSS
The Colony will to-morrow say farewell with very real and deeply-felt regret to His Excel- lency the Governor and Lady Caldecott, who, during the rela- tively short period of their stay be here, have won what can rightly described as a wonderful Sir degree of popularity. Andrew Caldecott will have had the reputation of the shortest gubernatorial term of office in Hongkong's history; it is no mere platitude to say that he will also be remembered in the days to come as one of the very best and most capable, Governors the Colony has ever had. It is a thousand pities that Hongkong could not have retained his ser- vices for the full period of five years. During the period of his

HERE is a new joke in Vienna; about the Duke of Windsor, Two English- men meet in a Continental train. Says one to the other :"Where are you. going?"-"Vienna," is the reply. "Where's that?""A town near Enzesfeld."
The interest in the Duke's daily movements is declining now, so Enzesfeld village is not the fashionable place it was. The village inn, whose takings rose from £4 to £40 a day when a hundred journalists from every corner of the world ate and drank there, is now returning to normal trade.
The little boys of the village who played truant to watch the funny foreigners are now back under the schoolmaster's eye.
The Duke seems to have settled down there for some time. After April ho will probably buy a house in Austria somewhere. Friends from Eng- land come and go. His daily routine is ski-ing, golf and skittles.

the Viennese butchering- trade has quarrelled for years over the correct titles for the seventy-odd kinds of sausages the Viennese ndore eating.
There were 180 names in existence, many of which dup- licated one another. Some fancy name often concealed no more than our old friend the Frank- furter (U,S. "hot dog”), ́
To end this anarchy Vienna butchers appointed a commission for the "normalisation" of the sausage trade. The commission has annihilated nearly two-thirds of the fancy names, and laid down precisely what ingredients each sausage type is to contain.
GYMNASIUM classes are
the newest fashion among Viennese women. If you a morning ask a girl to have coffee nowadays she probably re- fuses "because I must go to my gym. class."
Scattered among hundreds of small gymnasiums throughout the city many tons of Viennese pulchritude are to be heard, if not seen, punching medicine balls about before lunch.
