OVER CHINESE

HONG KONG NUDISTS HOLD OUTINGS

SOCIETY MEETS NEAR SHATIN ON SUNDAYS

NAKED BATHING IN RIVER

EUROPEAN WOMEN SAID TO BE MEMBERS.

The Hong Kong Nudist Society exists in reality as well as in name, and members indulge in nudist outings over week-ends. Members höld outings and bask in the sun and swim in rivers and without a stitch of clothing. The sect has held at least two outings since its organisation and others are planned.

It is claimed that the Society has a member- ship of over 40, which includes several women, both European and Chinese. Of the men, it is said that the majority are Chinese, Russian and Portu guese, although some Britishers have signed up. Women attended the first excursion, it is reported, but it is definite that no women attended the outing on Sunday last.

The organisation, which owes its existence to Mr. Herbert E. Lane- part's enthusiastic belief in the beneficial effect of the sun's rays) upon the human body, is much like those which have been organised in Germany, Russia, Great Britain and elsewhere.

Although the Nudists failed to secure building rights from the Government upon a property which

they have in lease, and failed, too,

to obtain any land grant from the administration, these discouraging incidents have not dimmed their ardour. They need no dressing room, they say, and they leave their clothes on the banks of "the stream in which they splash and Reduction of unemployment frolic, much to the amazement of the natives who chance to paas! and relief for smaller industries, the way
