When it was denuitely known that the Municipal Government had agreed to have 1,000 of these refugees the various groups of doctors met to decide how they could best help.

RUSSIAN FOX FURS.

ON VIEW TO-DAY,

Every woman who appreciates lovely furs should make a point of seeing the collection of M. V. Kapusten, who has recently arrived in the Colony. He is showing them to-day in room 204, Hong Kong Hotel, and also in the window of Maison Marmac.

The skins are genuine Russian fox, silver fox and white fox for the most part, though there are also some delightful dyed furs and a. few natural red fox skins. The fur is beautifully soft and vary bo- coming in wear, and not the least attractive part about these skins is that they are really reasonable in price.
