ADORABLE CURIO SHOPS

Hong Kong's chief attraction is its adorable curio shops. As you step out of the revolving, door of the Hong Kong Hotel into the dry cold which is so stimulating to the Malayan dweller, the Arst object of attention is perhaps the flower market, whose wealth of colour catches the eye at once, but, as you make eagerly in the direction of Flower, Street, the fascinating shop windows burst upon

you in their full glory each one more entrancing than the last, The variety of articles made to tempt money from the pocket of a Scrooge is amazing and what is still more so is that in all this wealth of choice there is scarcely an unbeaatiful object.

What can one buy? For the collector there is porcelain, old and new, carved ivory, Japanese and Cantonese, enamel work, lacquer, jade, paintings on silk and on rice paper, and among modern work, trifles in Chiness silver and the rather beautiful clear glass fash- ob-lonable just now. The house-

Facts About The Colony

Hong Kong is an island about 10 miles long and from 2 to 6% miles broad, with a total area of 32 square miles; It Hles close to the mainland, being separated at one point by a Darrow strait (Lyemoon) not more than 4 quarter-mile wide, and was first in occupied by Great Britain January, 1841, and was formally ceded by the Treaty of Nanking in 1842; British Kowicon was subsequently acquired by the Pe- King Convention of 1860; and the New Territories, being a ponin- sula in the southern part of the Kwangtung province, by a leane signed June 9, 1898. The whole colony comprises an area of about 891 square miles, with a popula tion (1921) of 682,200 (1925, est. 874,420). The non-Chinese resi dents, excluding naval and mill- tary, numbered about 15,200 (1925, est. 16,500).

A Free Port The capital of the colony is Vic- toria, which lies along the north- ern shore of the island, facing the mainland; and between the mainland and the city is the bar- bour which is one of the finest in

the world, with a water area of яome 10 square miles. With the exception of liquor and tobacco the port is free, and is fortified. It possesses excellent locks, cap. able of holding the largest vessels for the purposes of repair. There is a considerable ship repairing and construction industry.
