CLOTHING IN HONGKONG.

- SUMMER GARN AND ITS VAGARIES,

(Special to the “ Hongkong Telegraph") The matter of clothing has been engrossing ever since Mother Eve donned her covering of fig-leaves. Even in later times the last word had ant been said when Thomas Carlyle panned bis Sartor Resartus. Here in Hong- kong, where we are subject to such violent changes of climate as belong to the conditions of residence in a sub-tropical country we are every summer brought face to face with the fact that as far as regards drèss · European residents have got to undergo, no little to their discontent, a denial of their predilection so far as their sartorial - dafirimenti ara com cerned. A man who prides himself upзn the fit of his morning cost in the Strand cannol use the same article of attire ja Hongkong..

NOTES BY THE WAP,

AN IMMORTAL CONTROVERSY.

The Sage has declared that in a multitude of co najiors there is confusion of thought. There has certainly been confusion enough during the past week over the question of what Hon. Mr. Murray Stewart has been pleated to designate the foest site in the Colony. At the risk of being accused of redundancy, may confidently assert that it does seem curious to intelligent persons that so much "hot air" ne our American friends love to say, should have been expanded and a prominent businesi-man, who doubilasa knows the value of time, abould have gone to the trouble of defighting a curious' poblič„»

with a long-winded official correspondence. But while there is a dearth of talk of commercial depres sion, which seems to have taken wings, unto itself and disappeared into ethereal flights, and white the popularity of good old rubber wanor, let us by all means use our spare time in discussings ch.diverting topics, But when so much steam has been let off for purely resthetic considerations and the air has been filled with

Even in the Legislative Council Chamber, one would see more-white suits, than, tweeds. Nowadays there is an inclination apparent to do away with the weasing of whiles and to adopt diker clothing than that which has been formerly, in vogue..

pans it is true also of the Chices.emselves, who are thorou„hly acquaisted, with the in conveniences and discomforts' of the

From a southern contemporary we learn tlist a correspondence has been yning on in Singapore with reference to this same subject and the contributor to the correspond. ence admitted to this lond impeachment :— " I always attend the Cathedral to a white suit, at least on Sunday mornings, and so do niny obers.

Han,kang «diffets, from Sing- eporo in this very essential respect, that there ose enjoys warm weather all the year round, whereas in Hongkong we have to undergo those tingstions hem beat to cold, ned cold to best that prve so disastrous to the constitution. Ever since the establishment of the Colony it had been the custom in Hongkong for the Governor to receive guests at his lenses, garden parties, and receptions in

they chose to attend. But some years ago the Then Governor in inviting residents to a Royal Birthday reception laid is down as a principle that all quesis attending must be arrayed in the garments fam bar to the leper of Hucking bin Palace or Windsor. le tue nature of things there is a great 'rush on the part of Hongkongines to procure lock-coats and top hats. Needless to say, the supply of the latter articles of adornment was dot equal to the demand, for at that time the top-hat did Dot" figure at an item in the report of imports. But, as it turned out, a well known person in the local banking firms had òco, jo kis possession that bad with. stood the vicissitudes at the voyage from Home, and the ravages of the local climate. The hat was brought inld service and as each indivi-, dual went into the Assembly Room to be pre- sepied to. His Excellency, the precious head- gear was sent back by a side door to the sext comer who was thus enabled, to-appear before „His Majesty's 'gubernatorial representative and his good lady with Alis necessary top-bat in his band.

Before that fist had gnup forib, one could attend Government house functions in any, garb sused to the season in which it took place and this would appear to be the most sensibile stripgement that could possibly be arrived at in a tropical country,, Apirt from the fact that too attendance at a Goverdor's réception in heavy European clothing in the summer time; implies intoúse discomfort on the part of the individual it is obvious that the fact of the existence of this insatie regulation must, prevent many, persous, who would otherwise be present, keeping away from those functions. In the matter of church going, perhaps, there may be a difference of opinion as regards the suitability of the kind of clothes to ba’worn Just as ibere appears to be in Singapore Bul,og tha whole, it may be safely said of Hongkong whether a man goes to divine service in white, or khaki or dark coloured clothes ao comment is made on his personal appearance and he is heartily welcomed into whatever church or chapel bo goos.

GOING HOME.

So His Excellency the Governor is going home on a shot lip. The presentation to him by the leading members of the Chinese community on Thursday afternoon was the best pracf, il any were needed, of His Excellency's popularity with the Chinese. A more hardwork- ing, energenc and disinterested Governor seldom held office in the Colony. During his brief stay here he made the Colony's interests his ową. The kind hope which His Excellency expressed to the Chinese deputation that the health of the commodity this stimmer might be good must have touched a sympathetic chord- in the beurts, of the public, and once again went to show His Excellency's energetic campaign against local epidemics. Let us uote with His Excellency o trasting that the wholesale ravages of recent times at this unwelcome period of the year will not be poated
