Riots Feared

The populace was said to be re
naming calm despite the Japa
nese occupation.
Nevertheless, British authorities
in the Shameen district made
quick preparations to cope with
possible riots which they feared
may ensure If there is a sudden
influx of Chinese refugees into the
Shameen area.
Officials expressed the hope,
however, that any trouble caused
by refugees would not prove seri-
GUS. They pointed out that the
present Chinese population Of Can
ton is only a fraction of the normal
number, since thousands Of the
city's residents already have fled
to the interior.

Prince Alexis Obolensky was go
happie" and proud to be grandpapa
that he directed a chorus. and it
was with surprise that the inhabi-
tants of Manhasset heard the notes
of "old Russian songs" come over the
air. E. Plump and bold Oreste Demi-
doff sang perhaps louder than the
others, and, I must confess, not al
ways in tune. .Demidoff is often
confused by the New York hostesses
with Demidoff, Prince of st. Donate
land even if he tries to explain
that he is just plain Mr.. Demidoff he
is always introduced and addressed
as 'Prince Demidoff" .. "They like
it BETTER" he says, "and I let them do
it" Anyway Prince or no Prince,
at night, he takes dining and bridging
such ladies as Mrs. Astor, Whitney
or Vanderbilt. but in the daytime
he turns out to be lift boy at $16
week.
Capt. and Mrs. John Gibbons of
Washington, who are summering on
