THE "VERY IDEA*

The RICHEST GIRL BASHERS'

in the WORLD

F you wish to make Doris Duke, now Mrs. James Cromwell, angry, call her "The Richest Girl in the World." Although her father, James Buchanan Duke, left her a fortune of £12,600,000, cùrning £600,000 a year, or nearly £1,600 a day, the "Dollar Prin- cess" is a thrifty person.

Her vast fortune comes from tobacco, but Doris Duke's favourite smoke is the cheap Ame- rican cigarette selling at 7d, ʼn packet of 20.

Round her childhood fabulous stories have been woven. She lived with her beloved father on his 3,000-acre estate near Somerville, New

Hongkong Hotel Jersey. It is her favourite residence to-day.

THREAT TO HONGKONG SPORT

AUTHORITIES SHOULD STOP THESE DANGEROUS GAMES

TWO world's champion table tennis players will give demonstrations in Hongkong on February 23.

they will stand one on each side of the stage of the King's Theatre and attempt to brain each other with a celluloid ball.

Such cruel practices should not be allowed in this British Colony.

Besides, it's not cricket.

Even the fact that a net will be stretched across the stage be- tween the two men does not provide sufficient protection, ay the ball is almost certain to go over on sone occasions.
