scason. This match is of particular in terest in view of the fact that it will decide whether the Royal Engineers of the Hongkong CC. and II. win the Junior Championship. Should the "Sappers" draw or lose the match then they only become runners-up.

Kick-off at 3 p.m. South China C. St. Joseph's Reserves, Sookunpoo "A" ground. Referee: Mr. Gilmour,

The games in the Shield competition will be over the full distance, .e., ninety minutes, and extra time if necessary.

Kowloon, the, champions of last year, play the Police, who were the runners-up last season, in the semi-final of the Shield Competition on the Garrison ground at Sookunpoo to-day. Taking the form shown in league games, Kowloon should bo casy for they have won their league games with a margin of two golls in cach match. -Cup-tie form is very different to that of the league and the Police will be all out to take revenge for their defent in the final of the Competition last year. Both teams have made changes, Kowloon especially in their forward line, which appears to be on the weak side, Simms, by his showing of the week, should do well but luckily for Kowloon, Hudson, the ex-Navy center-half, is unable to assist the Police to day.

The game should be very evenly con- tested and with going on the heavy side, it would not come as a surprise should the Police get home.

The other semi-final is booked for the H.K.C.C ground between the East Surreys and the Club de Recreio. The Portugurse team has made great strides in the soccer game and appear to-day in the Senior semi-final for the first time.

This game should be well contested and very even. By three goals to one, the East Surreys got home iu mid-week in a league game. Although the "Club de Re ercio had their share of the game and with a little joss would have levelled up. Both teams will be at full strength and probably the first to score will win the game and quality for the final. Over the full distance, the East Surreys should finish the stronger.

South China "A" and the East Surreys Drums meet in their re-arrange fixture. on the Club ground. The Drams were leading when the game had to be aban doned four weeks ago to-day. South China should collect one point if they wish to make their position as league championa secure.

-South China "C" meet St. Joseph'a Reserves at Sookunpoo and South Ching is expected to win.

[FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT""

"FRAKKE." "HAKSAT,]

PARIA, February 15th. Sessons come and go and new collec. tioni are launched for each, but, when one sums them up in detail, there is very little rest change There are im portant modifications sa to line and colour, but nothing that is so definite or drastic as to constitute a definite change in either has been launched during the last four or five years. What is the most important factor in fashions now-a-daya are the materials. This is evident, for it stands to resson that if the line has been reduced to its minimum of straight nese and if the design has been reduced to its minimum of decoration, the whole effect of a dress and its one possiblity of possessing an individual gote lies in the material of which it is made. Which explains why so many different materials are launched bach season, why there is such a riot of colours, such a blending of harmonies, such a grading of nuances and such a display of materials so rich and decorative in themselves that they only need cutting out and sewing up to be complete in themselves.

GIRLS IN FINANCE.

WOMAN STOCKEROKER'S CAREER |

Speaking at a dinner given at the Tro- cadero Restaurant by the Women's Ad- vertising Club at London, Miss. Gordon Holmes, managing director of the National Securities Corporation, Ltd., and the only woman stockbroker in Great Britain, told how she had risen from a shorthand-typist carning thirty shillings a week to her prosent position in the financial world.

I started my business career in the offices of the biggest egg merchant in the world," declared Miss Holmes. "In 1918 I was looking for a new job. I was getting £9 a week, and I wanted £7 85. a week: You must not laugh,, but must remember that at that time Ea a week was a magnificent salary for a woman succeeded in obtaining a job in the City, in a. financial business, at £9 54 a week. When I asked any new employer about finance, he began to tell me, them stopped, and added. With all due res pect to women, the female mind is not capable of understanding finance. Years afterwards, when I ran his business for him I reminded him of these words. He would not withdraw them, but said he had never uttered them. I carried on the business for him during the war prac tically single-banded, and then, after the

PROFESSIONAL FAILURES,

BOOK LEARNING AND CHARACTER.

A correspondent in the 2′imer discusses the question of education and character: He writes:-I have during the last ten or twelve years undergone a valuable course of practical education myself. It has been my privilege to bear part in the work of an organization established in the early days of the war to help mem- bers of the highly educated classes who by its outbreak were deprived of their means of livelihood. The experience has been, and is, informing.

It is the rule of this organization to require a personal, interview with ap plicants for aid. I have interviewed now about 100 of these educated persons I began with the orthodox belief that a learning, made for success in. lita. I sufficiency of education, otherwise hock

When the de mand for officers denuded our public schools of young masters, vacancies were created which might have been filled by men above military age. fasteva, to re- place those young men were urgently required; yet, strange as it seemed to us at first, middle-aged schoolmasters form- eda larger percentage of our applicants. A recent case, that of Mr. X, is typical Mr. X had graduated with hañours (ia what subject I forget), taught mathe- matics and other subjects, and bis testimonials bore out his modest assertion that perhaps he was strongest in languages." He knew thoroughly five European languages; "Latin and Greek, of course," as an afterthought. He had been a schoolmaster ever since he left college but never held an appointment for more than two terms, have during the war," when masters were so hard to get then he had remained at the same school for three. Under the usual process of sympathetic message the usual ex planation emerged: They always say I can't maintain discipline."
