PENINSULA HOTEL SUPPLEMENT.

Special 'Telegraph" Art Publication.

A completely descriptivo and illustrated Art Supple. ment in connexion with the opening of the Peninsula Hotel, Kowloon, on Tuesday afternoon, will be published. ..in the Hongkong Telegraph

on Saturday.

Ever since the work of equipping and decorating Hongkong's newest and largest hotel was resumed after the military occupation, people have been wondering what will be the nature of the in- terior scheme, and the Tele- graph Art Supplement on Saturday will tell them, both by letterpress and profuse illustrations.

Photographs for the illus tration of the Supplement' have been specially taken by the Kobza Studio, of Shang- hai, and the description of the various magnificent public rooms, servicing facilities, etc., has been written In close collaboration with the artists and decorators engaged on the work,

There is no question that the Peninsula Hotel ia the fineal throughout the whole of the Far East, and in Satur day's supplement will be, found the full story of the decoration, furnishing and equipment of this great and luxurious hotel.

No pains have been spared to make the Supplement fully worthy of the hotel it des- cribes, and it will be in the nature of a historic souvenir, of great interest not only to but to all in Hongkong travellers throughout the world.

Make sure of getting your Telegraph early on Saturday.

The Very Idea!

Here are the words of the parody on "Who Killed Cock Robin" written by Major H. Smythe, sung in the Mincing Lano Rubber Exchange, when the triction scheme came to an ond:

Who killed Restriction? We, said the Dutch, We made too much, We killed Restriction.

Who saw him die?

1, said Uncle Sam,

Who'll dig his grave?

We, said the smugglers, We were the jugglera, We'll dig his grave. "Who'll toll the bell?

1, said Uncle Stanley,

I, must be manly. I'll toll the bell.

Who feels it most?

We, said the deputation,

We lost our reputation,

We feel it most.
