“...Compound has seen various changes since the
issue of our last number. Another semi-detached house
has been built between the San and the Girls’ School, and
much curiosity has been aroused as to who its occupants
will be. A wall now runs round the south side of the Boys’
School field and up the gully to the B.D., giving more
privacy to the Compound.
•Sad to relate, the Doctor has again been kept busy
combatting ‘flu, which, until half-term, afflicted many
members of all three schools, even obliging the Prep, and
the Girls’ Schools to close for a few days. Scarlet-fever
later broke out amongst the boys, but few succumbed. The

“...the first part of the term Miss Cooke was
housekeeper at the Girls’ School, as Miss Williams was
detained in Shanghai on account of her health, but later,
when the latter returned to take up her former post, Miss
Cooke left for Shansi, accompanied by the best wishes
of all the girls. The Girls’ School are glad to welcome
Miss Dobson and Miss Macnair as members of the Staff.
The former has taken up the position of Matron.
Changes in the personnel of the Staff have taken
place also in the other Schools. Miss Goddard has left for
furlough and Miss Day is now wardrobe-keeper at the Prep.
School. After being on the Staff of the Boys’ School for
about fifteen months, Mr. Lyall has left for Hungtung,
Shansi, where, when he has acquired the language, he hopes
to begin work among children and young people. We take
this opportunity of wishing him much happiness in this
sphere of labour.
The price of this issue of the Chefusian is 40 cts.-
Mexican currency, per copy.
HPuFJE cheers for the holidays hip...”

shine, preluded a morning of exceptional beauty
on the China Inland Mission Compound, where all was in
readiness for the event to which so many had looked for-
ward—-the marriage of Mr. Stanley Gordon Martin and Miss
Frances Heather Moore.
The Memorial Hall, which was most tastefully de-
corated with cinerarias, geraniums and blossom, was com-
fortably filled with the girls and boys of the C.I.M. Schools
and with many friends, when the bride arrived punctually
at 10.30 a.m. Escorted by the Rev. A. Lutley and closely
followed by the bridesmaid, Miss K. Macnair, the bride
walked down the aisle to the strains of Wagner’s Bridal
Chorus, and at the beautifully decorated platform met the
bridegroom, who was attended by Mr. S. Houghton as
groomsman.
The bride wore a beautiful dress of hand-made lace
over oyster satin. Particular interest attached to the lace,
which had belonged to her great grandmother, and to the
veil made by the bride’s...”
