"No Self-Advertisement."

But it would be a dull life if it consisted of merely work, and Hongkong supplies a variety of in- terests, both to the mind and the body. I remember when I first came to Hongkong, or rather when I first heard I was coming to Hongkong, I had a most incorrect idea of what it was like. I knew, ns everybody knows, that Hong- kong was a great port, but the anly ports I had seen previously | were dirty and drab, however pros

perous they might be. I came to Hongkong to realise there must have been a conspiracy of silence, us though nobody would trouble themselves about, or rather, want ed to ignore, the sweet uses of advertisement. Here the kindness with which Hongkong welcomes the stranger is catholic, and what surprised me more was the way that kindness was extended on the

very slightest excuse, and that is one of the things that go to make life worth living. There is the beauty of the surroundings "where every prospect pleases and only the motor care are vile." It

[Albert Walter Gamage, the de- partment store magnate, was born at Hereford in July, 1855, and up- prenticed to the drapery trade. In 1874 he went to London where thehe "lived in" as a shop assistant.

His Worship: Well, it doesn't seem to have brought the de fendants good luck!

The defendants admitted breach of the condition of their licences but pointed out that it was only during the Tsing Ming Festival that the branches sold.
