NEVER GOSSIP. **
The outer cffie in some build- inge devoted to Government work! in ■ county town. Three or four tables with typewriters on them,
esfs and a bureau against one ote wall, almanace, on others, telphone in corner. Over the fireplace and above the largest table a large printed notice: "Novar Greip." It is about 915 am. Four young ladies are. baeily pretending to be occupied when the gtranger comes in. The leading lady of the little group. looke up, and finding the visitor middle-aged and uninteresting, adopts a rather revere expression, Siranger: Can I see M Black?"

Stranger: "Yes; 1 may be a few minate before my time. "
Leading Lady (wit resignation): "Perhaps you'd like to wait."
Stranger site down. Fear young ladies affect to be busy, but the effort is too much, and they decide to ignore the intrader.
Oas, Young Lads: “It was 'Yop-. ping last night. I screamed when he jumped over the precipice to Bare ber"
Leading Lady (with enth usieam) Yes, it was lovely. Did you see Mabel, in her new bat. S'pore her boy treated her." I'll ring her up and tease her about it.” (Walks to the 'phone past the "Never Gossip" placard and asks for number XYZ)
Leading Lady (severely, 'through 'phone):-"We ste the ---Office. Will you please ask Hi Dearlove to come to the telephone. I that soa, Mabel?

Oh, that's all very well, bet I HAW you, you weren't half enjɔy- ing yourself. Yes, wasn't it lovely?-Did you éte Grace? She was sitting in the corner with Charlie Tee, I thought so too-It was a jolly fine box, and she said he bought her a bundred cigarettes-Tea, it looked all right. Some people are very extravagant in war tima * - (farther giggle of approval from. the three young ladies)-Did] you? I told them they could keep their overtime. There's quite enough to do without that,

"And when you give it, give absolutely
all that you can spare, and dɔn't consider yourself liberal in the giving. If you give with self-adulation, you are not giving at all, you are giving to your own vanity; but if you give until it hurts, then your heart-blood goes into it.”
TT has been said that St. Andrew's Society is allocating too much
of the War Bond Drawing receipts to War Charities. Junt. think for a minute of the War and not of the Drawing; think, of the "tragedy beyond words which in being enacted on the battle front; think of the rest relief organisation and the money that is needed to uphold it and think of your own duty in the matter. No, we are not giving too much; we are not giving enough.

ACTION
H
ERE is a story of Action, nonë. mpre noble, thrilling, daring, self- sacrificing in the history of the war. These men went out on the eve of St George's Day 1918 to do two things-to-stop, in some measure, the German submarine" menace and to. prove yet once again to all the world that the British Navy is the samevin spirit, the same in genius, the same' in noble telf-sacrifice as it was in the days of Nelson and far down the ages. And they did them both They succeeded with the fullest measure of brilliant success. They went out to greet what they regarded as certain death, they stormed the breakwater of Zeebruge, blocked the Bruges Canal and inscribed such a story of action on the annals of the great war as will be told and retold long after the present generation has passed from the scene... They made history. Did they hesitate? No. Had they hesitated the great adventure would have failed.
Now, it is 'your “turn tö act. Thousands of young fellows have been maimed in this war, The heroic, noble and monumental work of restoring the wounded to their wanted activities typifies the great human and humane side of the struggle. We have won a great victory; but at a terrible price. The work of healing the human wreckage calls for all the help and support-all the action-that. true allegiance to the cause of civilization can give. Do not hesitate. There was no hesitation on the part of the boys. Signalise your appreciation of all they have done for you by a little self-sacrifice for them. They will appreciate it; and don't forget that you cannot give too much.
Heather Day, St. Andrew's Fair and the War, Bond Drawing offer an unique opportunity for residents of HongkongTM-- to send a Victory Offering to help the great, work of the hospitala.
