**WHY?”

(By Je Ny Pense".)

Hongkong ever thinks itself" algo tabasque "

And the questions ase frequently itches to ask To reply i would be a leviathan task.

Why do amahs converse in fortissimo strains? Is it merely to rapture tympanic membranes, Or to make up with noise what is lacking in brains?

Why chauffeurs should boot when there's nobody near. Then catch some unfortunate men in the rear While scorching in silence through crowds on top gear.

And why do some Peskites so snootingly snif (Not the best of them. only the 'doubtful") as if They wished to act 'county' up there on the Cliff?

When a man ha determined that married he'll be. And prevails on his bride to come over the.ses. Why does be make public that bride's pedigree?

It not be from snobbishness lest we forget - That would be a breach of Hongkong etiquette. No! It and be the printer: be's cribbed from Debrett!

Why do Magistrates give such absurd little terms

To highwaymen, robbers, burglarious firmos?

Is it merely to foster the criminal germs?

Any why does on: lawyer the rest so surpass ? Is he really so far at the top of his class, Or is it l'audace, l'andace, toujours l'audace?

Why are our officials so rarely to blame?

(Some think they are not and state cause for the same, That's jealousy, jealousy. Theirs be the shame!) It's because our Cadets are the "Creme de la creme."

Such are some of the questions that come to one's mind; There are several others of similar kind And the answers are not always easy to God.
