Exhibit number nine is unusual as well and should come as a boon to Shanghai hostesses who find themselves in a quandary as to how five or, for that manner, any odd number of diners should be seated.
Entry Number 10 in a rust and mauve colour scheme is also likely to be of usual interest, both in the way of flower arrangements as well as the unusual shape of ther plates.
As a whole, this class should bring very keen competition as each entry in one way or another, has something of its own.
