CORRESPONDENCE.
IN THE SOCIAL SWIM.
[To the Editor of the " China Mall."
Sir,I write to ask if you cannot curb the dirtiness of the writer of the above notes. No one enjoys more than I do a clever story with a clove floating in it, but it is degrading to be forced to wallow in the hog-wash. TheHoggenheimer" and "Private Orchard "storics could not be accused of cleverness by the wildest enthus- jast and surely adultery, though it may sometimes be tha piquante of amusing situations on and off the stage, is not in itself a funny thing, and can only raise the gorge when spread on so thickly that the Tread of the story becomes invisible.

From Bombay he makes for Egypt and from Egypt he proceeds to the Holy Land, and after he has finished his visit to Palestine he makes for his home in the South of France.
WORLD PROBLEMS.
In the course of an interview be- tween Lord Northcliffe and Japanese and Chinese press representatives at the Peking Hotel, the following ques- tions and answers were excbanged:
Question. Is there no alternation in your opinion towards the Anglo- Japanese Alliance?
Answer. No; this is the issue that affects the world.
Question. Do you suppose that the Peking Government is under the control of Japan ?.
Answer,-Yes.
Question. Do you expect that the Washington Conference will actually bear fruit?
If there is a demand for pure snobbery let us be regaled with the doings of our betters (but, ye Gods, Answer. Yes, certainly I do; in why in the China Mail of all papers?); view of the fact that the Powers are let us buvo the gargantuan menus of labouring under the heavy burden of taipan's dinners; the favourite cock-armaments, they will no doubt agre tails of Legislative Councillors; even to the proposed restriction of arma the fabric of their wives' evening meats. frocks.
