Of course, children cannot organize affairs like this and it was a good idea, adopted since Lady Stubbs has been in the Cology, to incorporate the Hongkong Women's League and so let the grown-ups who were already doing a great deal have any acknowledged part in organisation. The outcome is although the children may not be so very much in tydence on the day of the Bazaar tself, they are working throughout the year doing needlework, selling tickets and The teaching staffs of the schools concerned exercise much care and fore thought in directing these efforts, choos ing materials and deciding what are the most saleable articles to make.
