THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH. FRIDAY, JANUARY

CHINA NEW, YEAR.

CHINESE CELEBRATION AS OF OLD.,

The Chinese in Hongkong celebrated the advent of the new Lanr year with all the enthusiasm of previous years.

An excellent decoration scheme, which reflects great credit en the management, was put into effect at the Peninsula Hotel at Wednes day's China New Year's Car nival dianer, dance **** which Was. attended by approxi- mately 400 revellers. In keepinė with the event, the atmosphere and general tone of the decorations. wera distinctly Chinone. In the Rose Room the beautiful appoint ments and standard embellish- ments were added to by the haug- ing of Chinese scrolls on the walls, depicting scholars, students and various other phases treasured-by the Chinese. Big Chinese lan terns of many colours, which pro- duced a charming effect, were hung round the room and those were dominated by a particularly big lantern hung in the middle of the ceiling,

In the lift lobby and foyer were two huge figures of Chinese war- riora, both dressed in the colourful fashion of the country they rel presented. Potted ferns in ols were also prettily bun with colours. The Root Garden was decorated in much the same fushion."

A special menu was provided for those who attended, daintily printed in gold lettering on a rel backround with the Chinese wish Kung Hei Fat Choy on the front. Included in the menu was one Chinese dish, this being chicken and walnuts,

The occasion was one for either formal evening wear or faney dress and some attractive costumes were keen among those who preferred to wear fancy dress.

The Hongkong Hotel.

A highly artistic and pleasing decorative scheme was carried out in the roof garden at the Hong- kong Hotel, for Wednesday's Chin-

ese New Year dinner dance, and

over 200 people enjoyed high. re- vela.

小

The entrance to the garden was adorned in national Rags, whilst allk. Chinese covers were draped over the chairs. Chinese works of art and scrolls hung from the walls, and coloured electric lights added to the general efect.

In the roof garden itself and the adjoining dinine: room, gorgeous Chinese lanterns were suspended from the ceiling and multi-colour- ed ribbons made a brilliant pic- ture. Behind the dance orchestra were arranged two howls, which, as the result of clever lighting effects, were made to appear 43 though longues of fire were shoot- ng from them. The Reneral Flighting effects too were very fine.

As usual, the management were responsible for a delightful special menu, consisting half of Chinese and half of European dishes. It ncluded bird's nest Soup, Across the menu cards was printed the Chinese wish, Kung Hei Fat Choy.

As heretofore, dress was made optional, and several took advant- age of this to appear in pretty fancy costumes, which. added" in small measure to the brilliance of the scene.
