THE FETE OPENED.
Shortly before the time of the opening of the fate the Pipes and Drums of the 2nd Battalion, the King's Own Scottish Borderers, paraded the grounds.
Lady Clementi, who declared the al fresco fête and sale of work open and wished it every success, was received by Mrs WT. Southern (President of the Guild), Mrs. H. T. Cressy (Hon. Secre tary) and Mrs. C. Russell-Brown
Mrs. Southern said:-
It is with mixed feelings that I find myself bare this afternoon for I do not consider that I am justified in assuming the mantle which Lady Severn wore in her admirable work for the Hong Kong Woman's Guild and Ministering Chil drea's League. The mantle is at the moment a misfit as far as I am concerned for I have had neither time nor oppor: tunity to do much for these two splendid organisations; and one knows that no woman likes to
Wear an Bill Atting garment. However I hope in time to remedy this defect and meanwhile I can express my pleasure at being asked to preside over the destinies of the Guild and League which do so much good work both in the Colony and in the world outside.
Work of Guild and League. I have been struck by the fact that even during the difficult times which prevailed last year the sum of over 816,000 was raised by League and Guild. No grants were reduced; in fact several were in- creased. This appears to me to be an eloquent testimony to the vitality of this Colony in spite of outside attempts to damage it..
Alance at the list of good works benefited shows the wide sympathies of the organisation. The grants are dis tributed among English and Chinese Charities in the Colony and among a wide range of Charities at home. The work of the Guild and League are too well known to need a trumpeter, I am enly anxious to add my small tribute as a newcomer to the excellence of the or ganisation. The work is decentralised Each branch develops its own form of helpfulness and hands over the result to the Parent Organisation, meeting once a year in a union of effort and enthusiasm
at this Fête.
Thanks for Assistance.
At this point I should like to express our sincere thanks to His Excellency the Governor and Lady Clementi for carry- ing on the tradition of putting Govern ment House Grounds at our disposal. We feel it is a great privilege and a great help to the work and we do appreciate their kindness.

I am not here to make a long speech and I cannot compress into a few moments the tale of all the help we have received from many sources. I should like however to make special mention of the Fress, who for years past have helped
very generously. „ We
appreciate greatly their valuable support..
You will find many attractions in the Garden but we do hope everyone will assemble at 3 o'clock to see the Pastoral Play on which the producer, Mrs. Chater has spent so much time and trouble and to which Miss Capel's pupils are contri- buting charming dances. In conclusion I call upon Lady Clementi to open the Fête and by so doing to set the seal upon its success.

The V.D.A, aims to band together all people who are interested in the work of the diocese. It was founded six and a half years ago, when the Rt. Rev. C. R. Duppay became Bishop of Victoria. In England it has a membership of a thousand, here a membership of 38. At Home the V.D.A. is a force backing up the diocese. Here it is hoped that the V.D.A. will become a greater force, and that the membership of 230 will soo increase.
Matins-followed an early celebration of Holy Communion at the Cathedral, and the preacher was the Diocesan Chap- Iain (the Rev. F. V. Halvard, M.C.). A short service for young people was held in the afternoon (and was bi-lingual-in English and Chinese. The Bishop preach- ed at the evensong service,
The collections throughout this day were on behalf of a new Chinese church which is to be built at Yaumati. Already $17,000 has been promised towards this purpose, practically all from Chinese sources. The church is much needed. It is noticeable that within the last three years it has been necessary to enlage both St. Sephen's and St. Paul's Chinese churches. The need of an adequate church to replace the present Mission Church in Yaumati is urgent.
At the afternoon service the preacher was the Rev. G. Hewitt, R.N.
