Two sides of the question
There are two sides to the question of shoes-comfort and appearance. Many a man unnecessarily sacrifices. the one to the other.
But in K "Plus" Fitting Shoes you get it both ways." They are made with the foreparts one fitting wider than
the heelparts (Sce diagram).
The result is a close non-slip fit at the heel and plenty of room across the toes. And as for appearance-well just ask us to show you K. Shoe5.

HON. MR. SHENTON'S SPEECH.
Mr. Shenton said :—
You have very kindly given me the opportunity to day to speak on Behalf of the Hong Kong Women's Guild and Ministering Children's Longue; L appreciate the privilege and will give you a short resine of the useful and unselfish work carried on by thess Associations.
The Ministering Children's League is the oldest established Children's Society in the Empire. It is an In- ternational League and was found- ed by the late "Countess of Meath In 1885 with the idea of teaching children to be kind and unselfish.
No day without a deed to crows. it is the motto, and children by their own work and efforts raiso funds to help their, less fortunate brothers and sisters..
%
The object of the League, as from the first laid down by the founders, is" the formation of the churatter of children by the teaching of prac tical unselfishness and by impresa- ing upon the young that, not only is the enjoyment of life compatible with unselfieliness, but that true happi tess in life in the sure outcome of 'unselfishness.
(1.)-What does the M.C.L. do
It does not collect money for any ohe charity, but desires to en- courage children to take some ac- tive part in helping others, The League has, however, some special Activities..
(a) The M.C.L. supports three Homes for children at Otter- shaw, in Surrey: These were built by the Countess of Meath, and are supported partly by money left by her
(b) The M.C.L. has branches all
over, the world.

Sometime afterwards, the Six- mese authorities expelled her from Bangkok as an undesirable, and she again came to Hong Kong. To his knowledge she had beert here throe, times.

though the people of Hong Kong may grouse and say the M.O.L. is always with us, yet if it were not for the cuistant and extreme gene-Yes. rosity of the inhabitants of this island, the Hong Kong Women's Quild and Ministering Children's League would not hold the "proud position they do with the M.C.L. antharities at Home and with all the other charities they help.
(e) The M.C.L. works also for other charities and many branches help the waifs and strays, Dr. Barnardo's Homes, local hospitals, and missions and helped in various ways parochially. (2.)-What does a branch consist A Patroness (in England Her Majesty Queen Mary), a President, Hon. Secretary, Hon. Treasurer, members and associates, and is managed by a committee consisting of the President, Hon, Secretary and Hon. Treasurer, and at least one member and associate.
(3.)-What rules has the M.C.L. †
A Cardinal Rule,
Members undertake among other things to keep the cardinal rule "to- try to do at least one kind, deed every day, and be loving; kind and useful to others." A branch of the Ministering Children's League was introduced many years ago into this: Colony by Lady May The first re- cord we have of M.C.L. activities is in the year 1910 when Lady May WEE President, and a bazaar and fête was held in the Volunteer Parade Ground." Nine Charities were help ed-seven local charities, one British (the Ottershow Homes) and one. German (the Berlin Foundling House), The sum of 81,750 WAS raised.
In 1911 the number of children members was 250, and about 88 adult meinbers. In 1919 the Minis tering Children's League was umal- gamated with the Hong Kong Women's Quild, and since then the combined Guild and Lengue" have largely increased their activities. The year 1930 was not a good one and we had to cut out all home charities, with the exception of the eots at the Ottershaw Homes, owing to the adverse rate of ex- change. However, local charities gained thereby.
