THIS LITTLE WORLD

The globe-trotter, or tourist, is a distinct species of the human tribe. He or she may be identified by a romantic refusal to be blase about the strangeness of the world, by a wenknows for gaudy silks and for eign curios, und

inherent belief that the oceans were espe cially nude for rich and elderly persons to cross on luxury liners, In Kowloon we have long grown used to these beupootacled denizens from another world- world of waffles and Four Square Gospeliers -and we oven regard their visiti with hospitable pleasure. For the tourist, however gauche and gaudy he may look in his cloth can and bizarro suitings, is usually keen enough to spend his money wher ever he goes, He is a constant source of income to the silk shops, the hotels, the curio dealers and the rickshaw boy's, Hong Kong has never advertised itself as an Eastern Brighton, and we should not care inuch about trippers even if we could lure them so far from Home, but the round-the-world tourist. in welcome because he is quite a valu- able factor in the Colony's retail trade.

Commissioner Morris, Laches and Gentlemen, You have to-night con: ferred on me a great privilege, you have invited me to this aumptuous feast thereby enabling me to cele brate with you the passing of a great land mark in my life-His Majesty King George has seen fit to confer on me the honour of Knight- hood and I regard it as particularly fortunate that I am permitted. to enjoy this privilege, amongst these with whom I have worked the best years of my life.

The Order was established by Godfrey de Bouillon in the 11th century after he had driven the in- fidels out of Jerusalem. He found

This is particularly interesting because one of om strong supporters here is Professor Gerrard of the Hong Kong University-a possible de scendant of this famour Brother and First Prior of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem

From the point of view of, say, the poet, the tourist is a menace. He is held responsible for the vul- garisation of lands that were once mysterious and alluring. To pleased the Priory at Jerusalem which his expensive tastes glittering, ten storeyed hotels have taken the jlace of romantic, palm-fringed beaches; unsophisticated Polyne Bians have commercialised their native songs and dances, and the merchants of the East havo deserted their treasures Foer machine made goods. The once inaccessable, little- known world of the East has lost its beauty and its charin for ever, and the tourist is largely to blame.

The Jade Tree is displaying in the Temple today a most comprehensive line of new sports necklaces. These are to be on sale for the week at just one half the marked prices. Nothing adds the touch of distinction to an otherwise plain costume like these beautiful creations. They are well worth a trip to Kowloon to view,

The Temple is open at night. The main Jade Tree studio closed after fivé d'olock, but if anything is really wanted it can be sold through the Temple.
