A pleasant surprise for me this week has been the discovery that there are women in Hongkong who are beginning to look for my notes and who feel that a few words about their interests may arouse and reach a new public.

It will be linked up with Uliaasiti and Robdo by wireless installations already purchased, these in turn com- municating with the border settlement at Yulian.

In view of the renewed discussion on female slavery, I was particularly pleseed to be invited to attend the inaugural meeting of the Chinese Y.W.CA. in Hone kong, on Friday, March 18th Bére OPIUM cases at the anywhere, we see the first practical steps towards emancipation and reform in the status of the Chinese woman. We, out- siders, can preach and pray and plant the seeds, but the Chinese women have to reap their own salvation. Bevolution must come from the masses, even English women did not find men running after them and offering them political rights, until they had agitated and made things so throughly uncomfortable, that atten tion was drawn to the absurdity of the situation. So it will be in China; when women begin to resent the buying and selling of their children and of themselves possession of five tasis of opium, informed A Chinese, charged with unlawful conditions will begin to alter.

These women who have been educated and trained in Europe feel the want of congenial society, since their return to a country where European women will not, or perhaps merely do nat, associate with Chinese women. Amongst their own race, very few are able to give them the intel- lectual companionship thes have been enjoying in their student days, and I believe it was no small shock to discover that the one big Christina Women's Institute in Hongkong, did, not admit non-Europeans to membership, although the funds had been largely subscribed by Chiness merchants,
