THE CHINA MAIL THURSDAY SUPPLEMENT, FEBRUARY 4, 1937.
PICTURES TAKEN BY THE "CHINA MAIL" PHOTOGRAPHER OF SOME OF THE GUESTS AT THE REMARKABLY SUCCESSFUL ST. GEORGE'S BALL HELD
AT THE PENINSULA HOTEL,
I would like
to know...
who the recently ar rived Scotsman is who before sailing for the Colony from London was hailed by a voice: “Taxi, Sir?"
He shook his head. After emerging from the boat in Hong Kong he heard again the familiar call: "Taxi, Sir ????
The Scot became annoyed. "No thank ye' he bawled. “I said 'No' in London and I meant it. Now stop follow- ing me about.”
who the other Scot is who called on one of the local papers to have a marriage no- tice published.
"What is your charge for a marriage notice?" he asked.
"Two dollars and fifty cents per inch," was the reply.
"Good gracious!" the Scot exclaimed. "They are both nearly six feet!"
who the gentlemen are who were discussing the legal question whether a man has the right to open his wife's letters. One of them said: "No, he hasn't the right, and I don't see how he could have the courage."
who the young man was who appeared last Satur- day at the Hong Kong Hotel with a dazzling blonde and when asked by a friend who the beauty was, answered:
"She is the brunette I was with last week”:
who the gentleman is who calls his wife "Pegasia,” and explains that he got the name from. Pegasus. Pegasus was, he said, an immortal- horse; so he called his wife Pegasia as she was an eternal nag!
