China Neonlite Company of a factory in Hong Kong for the manu- facture of these attractive electric aigas. This is the only concern handling "neon lights which has its own factory, in South China.

"Neon" lighting is comparative- ly now in this part of the world, but as its advantages become better known to advertisers it will doubt- less prove as popular in China as it has in Europe and America.

Most artistic effects are produced" by passing electric current through glass tubes containing "neon " under partial vacnum. The tubes ean be bent to form any letters, characters, or shapes required, and not only are these signs lightly effective at night-time but they are" amazingly brilliant in full daylight.

The China Neonlite Company has not long been established in Hong Kong, but it has dižady received many inquiries from. euterprising advertisers regarding the cost of installations. The fact that the Company has established its own Factory in this Colony indicates con- fidence titat there is big business to be done in South China with these. effective signs.

The only instrumental item was sonata, for violin and piano, of Francisco Verazini, played by Migs Acheson and Mr. F."Mason. The violinist-Miss Acheson-seemed a little nervous in the delicate pre- lade, but rilaved the rest very well especially the final dancing more- ment.

Mrs. Womack and Mrs. Sanger followed with solo songs which went well, and then Mrs. K. V. B.
