SHOPPING TIPS KOWLOON RESIDENTS

Of great interest to Kowloon residents is the opening of the new Fourseas Hotel in Waterloo Road. It is ideally situated on the No 7 bus route, near Nathan Road, churches and theatros, and yot is quiet, and when one is inside, the noise of the traffic is scarcely discernible. The interior, like the exterior, is modern and attrac- tive, and has been decorated in quiet good taste. The double rooms are spacious and airy with private bathrooms and well ventilat- ed wardrobes, and telephones are being install- ed in each room as quickly as possible. The single rooms have a bathroom beween four rooms and on each floor a different colour scheme has been arrang-

on their sunfrocks, so go along

and have a look for yourselves. While you're there, have a look ut the small Amerleon sweat shirts for three and four year Lolds.
