Yesterday saw the opening oil the new home of the Kowloon branch of the Helena May Institute at 198, Donndary Read.
It was in 1929 that the Helena May first opened in Kowloon in a small house facing the Kowloon Cricket Club. The house was not an ideal one for the purpose, but it did at least prove-that there was In need for Kowloon Branch. iinundary load far more satisfac- tory premises have been obtained.

There is not anything at home, I think, quite liko the ILM.I. except home itself, and in this building, as in the parent Institute in Hong Kong is something akin to home for girls who might otherwise be very lonely.

MRS. J. R. WOOD'S SPEECH
Mrs. J. R. Wood addressing those who were present at the opening Leremony said :---
Ladies and Gentlemen, It is with great pleasure that I welcome you here to-day, on behalf of the Coun cil of the Helena May Institute. May I begin by saying how very sorry we are not to have Lady Peel with as this afternoon, she gracious- ly consented to come, but since that she has been in hospital.
I want to give you a short out line of the life of this Kowloon Branch of the Institute. -
In 1929 the Council (a body of 18 women) embarked on a new venture, a Kowloon Branch of the Institute. Premises were found at No. 8. Aimai Villas facing the Kowloon Cricket Club. This Branch was started under the leadership of Lady Clementi the then President.
The original scheme was a Club for women in Kowloon, lator ap plications came for hostel nocom- odation, one room after another was taken until finally there were six women residents. This further scheme entailed & resident matron and larger staff. I should here like to thank the Kowloop Cricket Club for so kindly allowing as the use of a Tennis Court.

The Noted House of Drapers ways exceeded the space available, but, financially the Branch has not paid its way. Running an estab- lishment like this naturally costs money. The Council feels so strong ly that there is this need for ne- commodation, that after much care ful consideration the decision was made to move into larger premises, where more girls could be takon, and possibly with a larger number of residents, we shall be able to cover our expenses.

Kowloon is the size of Notting ham and calls out for attention, the necessity of this branch must be obvious to all and the choice of position although perhaps forced on the Institute must be of benefit to that is now the best residential part of Kowloon,
It is not too far out for a great number of people to live it is also not too far out to put a centre of social activity for the ladies living in the vicinity and they surely will feel the benefit of the good library for which the H.M.I. has always been noted.
A "Home From Home."
I have referred to the Institute taking the place of home. I once lived in a Southsen Boarding house which advertised itself as home from home. I hope and I believe that this will never be like that, but rather will develop into a spot where those who reside, will have without knowing it that comfortable feeling one always has when one gets home.
What I have said, perhaps, should have been snoken by the President of the K.R.A., I am sure he will endorse it however as the Committee look with pleasure on any effort, particularly voluntary effort, which tends to make life more pleasant here.
AN INVITATION TO. "LOOK ROUND."' Mrs. John Durran said:- As chairman of the Kowloon Branch I would like to thank Mr. Cock for coming here this after- noon and for saying such nice things.
Unfortunately the musical part of our programme has had to be cancelled-or shall we say post poned. When we get a little more settled the committee will arrange concerts; whist drives and so on.
And now we shall be glad if any of you who wish to will look round the houses--but I hope you will remember, and. Mr. Cock will under-
