Obviously, however, any such proposal as this would need to be carefully devised if it is not to have undesirable reactions.

The Parting of the Ways. The London Naval 'Conference is now seen to be at the turning of the ways. Vital decisions have now to be taken and a very grave respon- sibility lies with France and Italy.

Numerous pictures of to- pical interest will appear in tomorrow's issue of the Tele-. graph Art Supplement.

Sporting events covered will include the yacht racing be- tween teams representing Bri- tain and Scandinavia, the South China v Navy football match, pony racing at Heng- kong and Canton, hockey and football at Shameen, and the international golf contests at Canton. There will also be a group of the Royal Engineers" football team.

Other functions illustrated will be the Fancy Dress Ball in aid of the S.P.C.A., and the dinner by the Danish com- munity to the Crown Prince and members of the Royal party accompanying him to the East.

Portraits of the Hon. Mr. A. C. Hynes, of the Hongkong Bank, and of Mr. C. E. Holmes, Superintendent Engineer of the Indo-China Steam Naviga- tion Co., who are going Home on retirement to-morrow, will also appear.

LAST NIGHT. H.MS Petersfield's farewell dance last nicht in the Helena May a huge success. The ballroom on the lower floor was gaily decorated, and a com pany of about 150 couples danced to the music supplied by the orchestra from H.M.S. Kent.

The Very Idea!

Sandy had been sentenced to a term of imprisonment, and on hia first day a burly warder arrived with a brush and a largo buckes of water.

"That's to wash your cell," he said, and departed.

A fow minutes later, hearing strange sounds, the warder return- ed, to find Sandy, robed in nature's The Commander-in-Chief, China garb, standing in the bucket, and shivering dolefully as he scrubbed Station, Vice-Admiral Sir A. Khimself with the brush. Waistell, K.C.B., accompanied by Fing Lieut. D. R. Evans, was present for a time. Much regret was felt by the absence, owing to slight indisposition, of Lady Waisteil.

Others present includ ed: Commander and Mrs. Baker, Lt. Comdr., Surtees, H.M.S. Peters feld, Lieut. Cobb, H.M.S. Peters- field, Engineer Lieut. Denverell, and Lt. Comdr. Taylor,

During the interval, refresh- ments were served in luxurious style, tables being laid out for fours and an abundance of cakes and other eatables were provided.

The Committee in whose hands the arrangements were are to be congratulated. It consisted of the Wil- following: Petty Officer liams, C. E. R. Wight, L/Seanian Warner, Robertson, LySeaman

WHO WAS...

FRANKENSTEIN.

When Byron challenged Mrs. Shelley to write a ghost story, he little dreamed what a wild, barbaric tale she would evolve, a tale of horrors and gruesomeness.

Frankenstein, the hero of Mrs. Shelley's story, is a young student who gathered pieces of human bodies from graves and laboratories, and made of them a thing in human shape, which lived and moved, but lacked that which above all distinguishes man from the beasts-a soul. Needless to say, this monster was pitifully aware of its ow difference from the rest of humanity
