TRIBUTE TO YOUR TASTE

Some hats are competitors with a'man's other attire--not

always friendly rivalry. Some disport themselves in open enmity. Too seldom do they crown a man's ensemble in gracious amity.

It is noteworthy that Hats are hard to choose.

If you have any doubts do not hesitate to ask us to help you

from the extent of our experience and the variety of our stocks.

18th, Lord's Day. This day 1 rond in the news-shoets that the British Fleet will concentrato at Shanghai. But I believe it to be a naughty lie. So to my ghiden where I work upon my seed boxes, Bowing my Bodds that I do pur chase from one Yates of Sidney in Australia where the seasons do seem to me to be more in accord with oure, But much I wonder what will germinate, for Lord! what with poor soil, little sun much wind and above all the fog, a gardener is hard put to its for horticulture in Hong Kong., Bat at the day's end I find myself an stiff. as ever I was in my life, yet I per- ceive I do abate somewhat of my bulk.

18th. This morning to the office and there working peacefully until I hear to my greatest possible annoyance that B typhoon do threaten the Colony, and after speech with my friend Mr. T Clax ton I learn that it heads straight for us and will strike us on the morrow unless there be socho un- forseen change. Whereat Isend a, hasty message to my Fa Wong to secure all my seed boxes and tables beneath the house, tho' much I fear the dark will harm them sore. And for my sweet pea-plants, now these four inches high, my heart do bleed for I doubt that nothing shall avail to save them. The news sheates too are, melancholique, toiling of election troubles at home, and dead- lock in the North. Yet as I thought. the concentration of the fleet at Shanghai was wide of the truth, And so home and to bed but could not sleep hearing the howling of the gale and sorrowing for my garden.

20th-Up betimes and I find there is some hope that the typhoon will not come. So I do help the Fe Wong bring out my young lettuce seedlings which will not abide the dark, and my mustard and cress as well. I find that the earth wall with bamboos and boards which we do erect last night has saved the sweet peas, whereas I am mighty thankful and give the Fa Wong dollar. To office, and in all my lila. I vow I never heard not such sweet music as the voice of Mr. T. Claxton saying that the typhoon do fill up to the south. And so to the Club where with Mr. Ashby and Creed we drink a cup of wine to Priapus who was God of Gardens in Virgil's time though niny hip his reputacioun hath been somewhat blown upon later. In the news sheetes better prospects in the North and I trust all may be well. In Sekukuni Land it seems there have boca human, sacrifices owing to the drought, and the account I do cut out to send to the Water Authority For, indeed, most, criticism in Hong Kong tendeth to be destructive rather than construc tive. So home and my wife and 1, walk around our garden where I find to my great for all my tables and boxes not out and it seems none the worse. But of this I shall know more certainly laterZY

21st. This day I read with much interest the account of Mr. J. Russell's discourse to the Rotarians on Animal Welfare, and I am well persuaded that the Society does mighty good work. Yet it seems clear to me that they do fall short of the mark by lack of courage to speak straight out or who but a foot or a crank would check at killing an anopheles or a hams dryad, or even an unrestrained tiger, en he could. It may be that there be so tender they cannot abide the soream of a slaughtered pigre do they forbear to eat of the bacon 1.
