Time's Ohanges.

There still seems to be consider able doubt in the public mind as to what should be done about imprey ing communications between Rong Kong and Kewloon. This just shows how the world moves! I can remember the time when the mere suggestion that there was such a place in the world as Kowloon would cause horror-stricken expres- sions to appear on the cultured countenacces of pukka Hong Kong- ites. Under pressure they might possibly admit to a vague memory of having heard of the place at some time, but as for ever having been there, or knowing anybody who CALDBECK MACGREGOR & CO., LTD. ||lived there; perish the thought!

That is why it forms the. best possible basis for COCKTAILS.
