Exemplary courage was displayed precious and, perhaps, not abundant for us not to appreciate married life, I have succeeded in by a 12 year-old Chinese girl last to the full, and to store in our securing my family from want, and night in a fire which broke out in memories. Indeed, to recapture making my humble contributions to a Chinese medicine shop near the the happiness of some bygone days, the cause of charity and education, old North Gate, says the Shanghai is a source of happiness in itself. none knows better than I do how Times of November 19.

A Princely Gift When I look back and take a retrospective view of the fifty years through which my wife and theI have passed, in clouds and sun- save shine, I cannot but realise how was much, we have to be thankful for. in thankfulness for the abundant measure of happiness which has been vouchsafed to us, and in order to mark this anniversary of our wedding, I beg to announce that I take much pleasure in donating to the Colony a sum of $200,000, half of which is to be applied to the Children's Welfare building of a Centre in the New Territories, and to provide free the other half is education for poor girls in the East End of the City. (Loud Applause).

Another Honeymoon. Fifty years ago, when I married, the Chinese marriage customs in Hang Han were very different from those of the present day. The Wedding Cake and Honeymoon were practically unheard of; the nuptial dinner WAS an elaborate affair; and the number of "kow- towg" which the bride and the bridegroom had to perform to parents, uncles, aunts and a host of other elders was enough to give them the "house-mald's knee." The young couple were denied the joy of a few quiet moments to them- selves, having to entertain their friends night after night up to the small hours of the morning, for at least a week. The present day: bride and bridegroom are happily free from these fetters of conven- have all the Ilonalities and can time to themselves immediately after the wedding reception. To make up for what we lost half a century ago, I have persuaded my wife Logo on a honeymoon with me after this reception. (Laughter, and Applause).

The entire floor was damaged by the flames which spread rapidly owing to favourable wind. The loss re- sulting from the fire la estimated at more than $5,000.
