Five Principal reasons why Hongkong needs the Blue Triangle Women's Interna. tional Club:

1. To supply a centre for Rest and Refreshment for Business and Profesional Women (and others) in the heart of the City.

2. To supply a Headquarters (and occasional accommoda- tion to many women travel- lers through the Colony,

3. To Supply an Employment Bureau to help those who need work and those who need workers.

4. To provide a place for Re- creational and Cultural Acti vities.

5. To provide a meeting place for the many nailonalities in the Colony.

workers look forward to this Club as a peaceful spot in which they can have a simple meal and then read, meet their friends and ex- change ideas with other members. The business girls' lunch hour' does not admit of returning to her home if she lives at any distance, excopt in a rush which is certain- ly bad for her health and peace of mind. The advantages of the Club from the business and pro- fessional women's point of view, especially those whose homes are in Kowloon, cannot be too much emphasised.

FRECKLES AND HIS FRIENDS

Helena May Institute,

Hongkong. 26th November, 1932. Dear Mrs. Southern,

I hear that you are about to announce to the public the for- mation of the International Club, and I write at once to say that we at the Helena May Institute shall all watch its development with friendly interest and sym- pathy,

There is plenty of room for the new institution, its success will not re-act in any way ad- versely upon Clubs and Socle- ties already existing.

You have admitted me to your preliminary Committee and I have been able to realise how much the International Club is destined to nchlove for the Colony.

With kind regards,

Yours sincerely, (Sd). Frances Wood. St. Paul's Girls' College,
