EATING WOMAN.

"UNFOUNDED SCARE."

This morning's vernaculer papers state that there is no truth in the unfounded scare" of a cannibal woman having come to reside in: Hongkong.

Later on the woman terror was -supposed to have come down to Hongkong, her position being rendered untenable in Canton as a result of the so-called exposure.

Nothing could be in better fasla than the reminder of the duty owed to those who made sacrifices for the Empire than that which Hongkong is given in the window of the ladies' section of Lane, Crawford, Ltd.

Prominence is given in one win. dow to a life-like model of a Indy flag-seller-and-in the others to baskets of blood red and pink and white tipped poppies with a few scattered ones showing up against a jet-black background.

No batter illustration of the strides, which have been made in the designing and carrying out of modern advertising pictures could be afforded than the Eart Haig's | scheme posters which barmonier well with the rest of the display.
