NEGLIGE · DANCE,

THIS EVENING, TUESDAY, JULY Áh any dancer who, before the eighth dance-num. ber, informs the Manager that he (or she) finds it too warm for comfort in dancing, will have the cost of his ticket refunded without question upon surrendering the ticket-counterfoil.

The Letter: On Dancing in Warm Weather.

An observation made to me isst Tuesday even- ing by a new visitor to Kowloon Theatre, so far as dance nights are concerned, has given me to think, He said, at the end of the evening. "I could not have believed it possible for the Theatre to have been kept so cool, or for dancing to be so pleasant in this hot weather. I have thoroughly enjoyed myself." Now, Sir. I feel that it is certainly the case with many of the people of this Colony that they are missing. in the summer, a great plessure and relaxation ba- cause they think they will not be comfortable. whereas, as a fact. they may be perfectly happy dancing, given the proper conditions. I am dancing regularly myself and I know.

Take Tientsin: here they dance right through the summer and those who have visited the northern part in June-July-August know that the tempera- tare af Hongkong, particularly after sunset, is not a circumstance to that in the same season in Tientsin. It may be retorted that in Tientsin the folk dance in the open air, I know-I've done it myself in July), but in the case of our own Theatre, we claim that the conditions are better than in the open air, where there is often no breeze at all, what with the crowd of open windowe, the double battery of fans, and the large masses of ice provided.

A final word or two: the way to enjoy dancing in the hot weather involves a little forethought. The evening bath should be taken, warm, as early before dancing as convenient, the lightest clothes, of course, should be worn, men wearing a low, scft collar or even, a tennis-shirt with no collar at all. Finally, don't take too much liquid!

Try this, you who don't yet know, or only think you know, and don't deprive yourselves unnecce. sarity of a delightful recreation and pleasant, health- fol form of exercise.

THE MANAGER, KOWLOON THEATRE,.

Now then, call our "bluff."-We are not afraid, for we have the comfortable know- ledge that we are not really bluffing.

A FINAL NOTE-Experience is teaching the Management of Kowloon Theatre how to make the ice used for cooling the Theatre more effective. A further development is in readiness for this evening.
