A HOME FOR INVALID CHILDREN.

[To TRE EDITOR OF TNE " SPECTLTOR."1 Sia,—Some two years ago you were kind enough to appeal for us in the Spectator for funds for the Victoria Home for Invalid Children at Margate, and your readers responded most kindly and helpfully. Is it too much to ask if you would help us

again? We are in greater need than ever, for though expenses increase subscriptions decrease, and this year we are faced with the absolute necessity of repainting the Home. If only your readers could see the Home, and realise what an immense amount of good work it does, and what splendid results we get from the wonderful Margate air and ideal conditions, I am sure they would want to help. Last year each case was kept on an average 300 days, so it is not a question of "patching up," but really effecting a cure with a large number of them. I need hardly say how grateful we should be if you can see your way to helping us again. Cheques and postal orders will be gratefully received by the Secretary, 75 Denison House, Vaux- hall Bridge Road, S.W. 1.—I am, Sir, &c.,

SOPHY W. Renzi-.

[We hope most strongly that Mrs. Henry Huxley's appeal will not be in vain. Anything is better than to let children suffer unrelieved.—En. Spectator.]
