WE BEG TO ANNOUNCE

that we can now manufacture on our premises | the new Kryptok invisible bifocal Lens,

The old style of cement bifocals with their disfiguring and annoying dividing line has been supplanted by a new lons with two foci, the upper portion of the glass for distance and the lower for reading, ground from one single piece of glass,

You who wear two pairs of glasses may now use one pair instead. No one can tell. that you wear bifocals. No cement to blister; no thin segments to lose off.

Call and inspect this line. We grind Kryptoks in regular or toric form.

Playgoors and Their Pleasures.

There is certainly much to com- mend the proposal, (the fo: mation of a Playgoers Society) for even though oharitably incline !, quali fied persons have been tempted to criticise in harsh terme the gifts and efforts of "artistes" who have strenuously sought to entertain the public. The standard- set was not a very bigh one for many years; circumstances make it impossible for a company of "principals" or star artistes to tour the East. We have been content to see the performances, but bave in our hours of medita- tion contrasted them with those witnessed in some of the cities of England. Hongkong has paid oheerfully for its pleasure, and will doubtless do so again, but this is no reason why co-operative Playgoers' effort-directed by n Olub-should not tend to vastly improve the standard of entertain- ment by encouraging excellent organisations from all parts to visit the East.

A Regrettable Attitude. To pass from great things to emaller, though none the less significant, the passing of the dragon.emblem in a loss that will mean a great deal to Chinese art and decoration, unless, de seems not improbable, it finally survives and remains irrevocably associat- ed with China. Although the Man chu Emperore sat on the dragon throne, wore dragon robes, and finally "mounted the dragon to be come guests on high," the fabulous creature was not by any means s Mancha importation, but has play- ed an important part in China from the earliest times and has formed the motif of some of her finest specimens of art. The ruthless extermination of the past that we have noticed in these two instances may be traced in many other matters-a notable ex- ample is the attempt, a few months ago, to abolish the celébration. of Confucian niversaries-and in all thero - is the same danger to be feared, One of the most precious assets any country can be endowed with is a well storied past, a past rich in the histories of great and noble men. No country is saved or becomea great by its laws or commerce or military prowess alone; there must be behind all these a true national spirit and a feeling of pride in one's country, and this applies with especial force to a State made up of heter ogeneous elements, as China is, China Mail.
