It is maré vellous at the beaches now. Even over the weekends they are practically empty. On Sunday morning there were perhaps twenty people all told at Repulse Bay (picture it in midsummer, when one can hardly see the sand for bodies!), and those few were so well scattered that it waS ES good as having the place to one. self. The sea was a glorios blue, the sand clean and spark- ling, and the weather almost too good to be true." But was the water cold? I'll say it was! Br-r-r-r-r!
SHEKO
The week before we had spent all Sunday at Sheko... Here there were only three other visitors and they were way up the other end of the beach, so it was a grand opportunity for a little andism. But I regret to say our 'courage failed us--the distance from tent to sea looked too, wide

SATURDAY AT THE HOTEL
They were in good torm on Saturday night at Hongkong Hotel and were called back again and again by an enthusiastic crowd. Never have I seen the lounge so packed or 80 many strange faces. I have to confess that I can tell you hardly a single name, so I must be content with describing a few of the frocks These varied as usual from sim=" ple morning to "nitra-fashionable evening, and there were winners in each class. Among the sleeved, I liked, particularly a girl in dead black with a wide and formal white collar composed of layer upon layer of organdle. Then, with short puff sleeves, there was an attractive black and white

Some people seem to make money, though.

What wouldn't... I give for a branch of Boots in this Colony? Not that I wish the chemists any more competi tion: it is the library I'm after. Even in the smallest town at home it is not only possible to get the books you want, but you may actually choose them for yourselves. The Hongkong Club system is the most complicated and utterly useless. one I have ever come across. Even the men complain that the books are hard to find: I wish some of them would try to get one from the wo- man's room. It takeś - a good twenty minutes to make out a list from that enormous catalogue (couldn't they have a smaller ne. of, say, all additions during the last five years, and leave the rest to the few people who may wish to delve farther back?) and when the boy eventually saunters' 'along after another half hour or so, there is the inevitable re- mark "Sorry all out.
