HONGKONG CELEBRATION OF EMPIRE DAY
SPECIAL EFFORT TO ENCOURAGE IMPERIAL TRADE
EMPIRE DAY, which is being observed to-morrow wherever the British flag flies, is the anniversary of the birth of the late Queen Victoria. It has been officially recognised since 1903, when the late Earl of Meath, a great patriot, inaugurated the festival as a means of training British children in good citizenship. With the march of time, the occasion has been marked with ever-widening enthusiasm, and this year a special effort is being made to draw attention to the resources of the Empire and to encourage inter-Empire trade. In Canada, the day is observed as Victoria Day, being a national holiday. THE EMPIRE FOOD
MOVEMENT.
Appeal to British Housewives.
The Empire Meals on Empire Day" movement, in which Hong- kunk will ahure to-morrow, was initiated by a women's committee of the Fellowship of the British Em. pire. In the Old Country, the Royal Households have given their approval to the movement, while the wives of the civic heads of each town have agreed to help in forwarding the idea. H.R.. the Prince of Wales is the President of the Fellowship, while Hor) Majesty the Queen has cordially lent her support to the movement, Moreover, the sympathy of the Do- minion and Colonial Offices has been assured, while the Depart- ment of Agriculture and Fisheries, as well as Chambera of Commerce, have given the plan their support.
The Home Country Committee includes members with special links with all parts of the Over- Beas Tire-Lady Jellieue (Em- pire Day Mement), and Lady Davson and Lady Morgan (British Empire Producers' Asauciation). Mrs. Florence Amery, wife of a former Secretary of State for the Colonies, is the Chairman of the Committee, whilst here h Hong- kong Lady Peel headed the move- ment until she left for Home, since when Mrs. W, T. Southorn has un- dertaken to discharge the duties of the office.

LONDON BEAUTY FAIR.
Mayfair's Bright Idea for
To-night.
Mayfair is preparing for a Beauty Fair.
"Her Majesty the Queen, has learned with great interest of the appeal which the Women's Com- mittee of the Fellowship of the British Empire Exhibition is making for the use of Empire foodstuffs only on Empire Day.
"Her Majesty wishes this appeal all success. She hopes that, by thus observing Empire Day, households in all parts of the British Commonwealth may learn how fully their everyday needs can be supplied from the produce first of their own coun- try and next of other Empire countries,"
