AN APPEAL TO THE WOMEN
OF HONGKONG
Colonial Secretary's House 297, The Peak Christmas Eve, 1935.
Dear Reader of this letter,
A happy. Christmas to you and yours-here and overseas. This is the Children's Festival and while hundreds and thou- sands of children all over the world are happily opening presents and anticipating Christmas Trees and parties, there are in this Colony thousands who are underfed to a degree which wrings one's heart.
Mr. de Martin, 'in his address at the Annual Meeting of the Child Protection Society, spoke of "the heart-sickening poverty where the unhappy mother sees her infant wilt and wither on her breast because she has not bad enough food to bo able to feed it herself and does not know of and cannot afford to buy artificial substitutes."
Will you help by a donation to nourish these hungry babies of Hongkong? `Any contribution, big or small, will be grate- fully received and may be sent to the above 'address ́or to myself, c/o. Messrs. Kelly and Walsh Ltd.
Yours sincerely,
BELLA SOUTHORS.
