ST. DAVID'S DINNER.
WELSHMEN IN FESTIVE MOOD.
Cymdeithas Dewi Sant" (St. David's Society held their annual dinner at the Roof Garden of the Hongkong Hotel, on Saturday evening, when local Welshmen, their ladies and a number of guests, spent ; a thoroughly enjoyable time.
Mr. J. Owes HuGxas. President of the Society, after the loyal toust, also-toasted H.B.H. the Prince of Wales," and "Hen Wiad Fy Nhadaa" ("Land of My Fathers."y
The CHAIRMAN said he would like, on behalf of the Society to express the plea. sure they had in seeing so many distin guished guests with them, to join in doing honour to their national Saint, on the eve of their National Day. He was pleased that they had with them the Presi- dent of their sister Society, in Mr. Reid, Chieftain of the St. Autrew's Society, and he exceedingly 'regretted that Mr. Bird. President of the St. George's Society was not with them.
It was, he thought they would agree, u valuable asset to the Empire that Sovie ties such as these had been formed, not- only in the Home country, but more particularly in the British Colonies and eminions. He did not know if they fully realised the value which theirs and kindred Societies had had in making for the solidarity of the Empire... But he felt that so long as the British Empire lasted. so long would such societies ng St. George's. St. Andrew's and St. David's exist.
The St. David's Society in Hongkong was a small one.
This year they had lost 10 Days' Sale of Millinery
quite a number of members, due to people returning Home.
They were gathered together to do honour to their Patron Saint. St. David was born in 544 and died in 601. Of his life work a good deal bad heen written. It was sufficient to say that he was a good man. The influence of St. David kindled a fame in the hearts of his im- mediate followers, and the, speaker was glad to say that the fire burned as brightly- as ever it did, in the heart of every true Welshman. (Hear, hear.)
He thought that on such an occasion, the President was allowed to stand up and say what very fine fellows they were. (Laughter and applause.) One of the special characteristics of a Welshman was modesty. (Laughter.)

The Vice President. Mr. D. J. Lewis, toasted "Our Guests, and said although it was true that their Society was a small one, they had great pride in celebrating the birthday of their Nationa! Saint.
Sir CLAUD SEVERN replied, and said they had had a really enjoyable dinner. They were having a most rollicking time, rollicking as Welshmen could make it

Valuable Qualities
Some things are valuable because they are. rare, sir; others are valuable because they are good, but it doesn't follow that all good things are expensive.
Kensitas Cigarettes are as good as really good cigarettes can be, and they're certainly. not expensive.
The value is in the quality, sir.
