Hong Kong Marks Moon Festival With Lavishness

One of the principal festivals—the Mid-Autumn festival in the lunar colendar was celebrated in Hong Kong last night by the local Chineso community.

Chinese households burned joss-sticks, joss-paper

and paid homage before the full moon comm puted to be at its zenith and fairer last night than at any other time of the year:

Chinese restaurants und lea houses were packed to over- flowing by dinner parties given by those whose homes were in the villages. Local residents held parties nt their own homes at which a relatives present in the Colony were present.

Currying lighted paper lanterns, ade in the form of aeroplanes, 'ohriers, fish, balls, etc., many children were seen parading the

treets, gardens, and rouf tops.
