CRAZE FOR THE COLOSSAL

THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 19m, 1914.

Every thing now is growing much bigger the girls, the flowers, the build- ings, the entertainments, writes A correspondent to The Times. What would the last generatión have said of the great receptions now common in the great hotels. It is an entirely new departure another milestone on the long road that leads us away from hume in quest of the colossal.

There is no plaes like home-thank heaven," cries Our modern cypio. "Home, sweet home?! (at any rate in cities) more and more tends to recede, and surely a society for the propagation of home should be founded. Home now i vainly deemed too small, too conven- tional, too unexciting, too for removed from the faddist. There is too little to sec within its modest boundaries. So at all costs-and this is one of them-it must be escaped from True, long ago, big dances were sometimes given outside your front door; they spared the home without completely spoiling the children who were subject to chaperons. And, again, long before the

restaurant roaming set in-before comfort had been sacrificed to luxury-dinners of course were given to Iriends in restaurants and hostolries. They were rare but not startling, and cortainly Kitz-lovers existed before the Ritz. Our fathers however, would have stared at huge assemblies-gigantically aimless-in huge halls of luxury, followed by huge suppers, protracted till the small hours. whole thing contradicts every one of their ways and means. It is entirely alien to the Albert Memorial.

SAD SATURNALIA.

Figure to yourself one of these sad Saturnalia. It costs a King's ransom You enter through a sort of baroque Buckingham Palace amid serried rows of powdered footmen in hotel liveries, tall as Prussian grenadiers-the sons of Anak as befits a sphere of immensity. This Hall of Audience reminds you of the Doge's--but where are the Doges and where their dignity? Your nice host and hostess, beaming, a little dazed by the enormons dullness, are the jolliest things in that vast concourse. You look round there is any a familiar face, but hardly a young one; there are celebrities known to the public, but no beauty that Jurks unknowĒ. It is all public- too public. The Transylvanian band is playing its usual test match against the conversation; and that the conversation will win is a certainty. It always does. in England, yet England is reputed. silent. As we survey those. well-known middle-aged faces we feel as though we were going through some old photograph album. There a Pooks, the novelist, We have not seen him for yearė.

The advanced (advanced in years and honours) of the services and professions is in evidence, and there are decorations which too often betoken a now fortune, and there are some of the statesmen of to-day and the sales mon-who are too often indistinguishable. All are vociferating apparently about nothing, till the music is triumphantly drowned.

Suddenly a half-hush occurs; you can almost hear the band. It is supper-time.
