REST-ROOMS FOR GIRLS AT THE WHITE CITY EXHIBITION.

rTo THE EDITOR OF THE "SPIWT•TOH.1 SIR,—In response to my letter of June 26th, which you kindly made attractive by an editorial postscript, I have received £11 12s. 6d. from readers of the Spectator towards the upkeep of the rest-rooms for the women and girls employed at the White City Exhibition:— Mr. and Mrs. Banks and

family ... 1 8 The Hon. Mrs. Drewitt ... 2 0 Major D. C. Courtney ... 1 0

Owing to the decreasing number of employees, we found that one rest-room and coffee-stall would provide sufficient accommodation, and we feared creating a future grievance if too generous advantages were granted in providing for rest, food, or money on behalf of this year's Exhibition workers. Since July 17th, when the green rest-room closed, the girls' own weekly subscrip- tions to the blue rest-room of a penny each have paid the attendant's wages. The coffee-stall profits support all the other expenses. The initial outlay was heavy, but is now almost balanced through the support of friends and of your readers.—
