HENRY HEATH

"

The wide business founded on "Henry Heath hats is both evidence and guarantee of their quality. As regards shape, it need only be said that "Henry Heath "hats have withstood the keen, critical judgment of men for many successive seasons, and have played no small part in the establishment of the hat fashions of the past decade.

KOWLOON..

At Kowloon Magistracy yester day Miss Dimini Alves, of 2, Minden Villas. was summoned for

allowing her two dogs, to wander about without being properly

In reply to the Magistrate Miss Alves said:"I plead guilty to the; irst summons, but with regard to: the other one, I did not know that dogs under three months had to have muzzles." !

His Worship: How old is your dog?-Two months.

You see, Miss Alves, the muzzling order applies to all dogs, but if your dog is under three months, I don't know why you should have taken out a licence for it. Licensing Ordinance applies dogs over three months. I afraid your excuse is not very good. She was fined $6 on each sum-
