This year's Touring Car offers many refine- ments which should make even more popular this widely favored family automobile. Simplicity and ease of operation make it the ideal car to drive, and its extreme economy of fuel, oil and tires, is only another proof of high engine efficiency.

It is with the greatest pleasure that the Central Council is able to inferur all those. who so generously came to their assistance at last year's Al Fresco Fête that, thanks to the unprecedented success of the Bazar, the Society has been enabled to consider ably extend the sphere of its activities during the prosent your, fr

Thus, the number of vizita paid to the poor in their homes has been calculated at 1,684 during the ten months ended on the 31st October, and 132 families bave been regularly relieved as against 87 during last year, although that itself was a record over previous year. Many of those re osiving relief from the Society are aged pour who are unable to undertake even light home work, such as sewing. For these, and others whese "special circumstances justify such an expenditure, the Society Pays house rout. The expenditure under this head amounted to $839 for the ten months January to October, the estimated expenditure on rent for the whole year being $1,006, as against $481.59 in 1919.

charge of the Society, which is often happily able to place the boys, on leaving school, in suitable "euployment, thus in some cases relieving the Society itself of the charge of the parents. Besides tuition, books and shone are also provided for these children. The total amount spent under this bead was $3,155.80 to the end of Octo ber, the estimated expenditure for the whole year being 82,587.

The question of education has greatly exercised the attention of the Society dur ing the year. Besides the above ameut, spent for the most part in the very poor district of Wanchai where by far the majority of the Society's poor reside, 14 destitute orphans have been maintained at the Italian Convent, Caine Road, at a cost of $1,170 for the ten months ended Uctober, or an estimated expenditure of $1,400 for the whole year. The scheme is to provide those orphan girls whose general education has been completed, and who in the ordinary course would be leaving the Convent to take up situations (often so poorly paid as to be quite inadequate to ensure to the girls an independent and decent lying), with an extra year's tuition in typing and stenography in order to enable them to obtain more remunerative situa- cioris in business houses. This is a. branch of the Bociety's work which the Council is very anxious to extend and to organise more thoroughly if its fands permit, for Babe of the Society's objects can be f greater importance than the provision of suitable, well-paid, and respectable employ ment for these poor orphan girls when they go out into the world from the sheltering walls of the Cocvent and the tender care of the good Sisters of Charity

Special grants have also been made to three Chinese Christian vernacular schools," to enable them to give a sound Chinese education to the poor boys in their neigh- bourhood. These grants are as follows:- Kai Lep School, Wanchai Grant for furniture, etc., $950, monthly subsidy March to October, at 850, $500; To Ying School, Mosque Street, 8126.20; Tin Chu Tong School, Bhangliai Street, Yaumati: Grant for furniture, etc, $78, monthly anbeidy, May to October, at $28, 9168 $246 → expendituresto 31at October, $1,038.20. Estimated expenditure, Novem berand December:-Kai Lap School: Monthly grant at 260, 8100: removal into ›Dew: premises String electric light, etc. 880 Tin Cha Tung School: Monthly grant 15828-856-Estimated expenditure to 31st December, $1,258.20

The Society has now arranged to take. over entirely the Kai Lap School from the and of the present year. This school la been very well conducted by a Committee of Chinese Christians residing in the Wan chai district, and has already established for itself so good a reputation even among the non-Christian parents of that district, that the Society is arranging to move the school, into larger premises.

In a few instances the Council has had great pleasure in co-operating with the

·Hongkong Benevolent Society in attending to some cases that have come to the notice of both, in aasiating in the recessary in quiries into those cases, and in rendering fellet

With the above brief record of the work performed during the year among the suffering poor of the Colony the Bociety feels it can again appeal with confidence to the generous and charitable public of Hongkong for support in the deathcoming. Bazaar which is to be held on the 5th December. The Society depends almost entirely on the proceeds of this Bazaar for funds with which to continue its good work and, if possible, to extend it in the way ontlined above for the benefit of the poor of this Colony.
