CHINESE DELEGATES.
CONFERENCE IN SYDNEY.
Among the delegates to the International Women’s Conference who arrived in Sydney last week from overseas were Mrs Fabian Chow, formerly Alice Lira Kee, of Melbourne, and Mrs Elsie Lee Soong. Both are well-known in Shanghai social circles, iand they will represent the Chinese Women’s Club, one of tho most influential organisations in China, on their visit to Australia. Mrs Chow is also carrying greetings from the International Y.W.C.A. of Shanghai to the conference. Mrs Chow, who went to China more than 10 years ago, writes under the pen name of “Wu Ai-lien,” and has been contributing articles on Chinese women and their activities to foreign magazines and daily newspapers, principally the North China Dailv News of Shanghai. In addition to being an active member of the Y.W.C.A., she is on the executive board of the Chinese Women’s Club.
Mrs Soong, well-known socially, won fame as the most plucky woman of Shanghai by her several visits to the war front, bringing comforts to the soldiers, in spite of the attendant danger. After the conference the two delegates are expected to tour the Commonwealth, and will visit friends.
