A PORTSMOUTH HOME.

LTo TER EDITOR OF TER "SPECTATOR.']

Sin,—May I ask an inch of your space to press the claims of the St. Andrew's Home, Portsmouth, which, under the care of the Diocesan Deaconesses of Winchester, is doing a good work in the rescue of young girls and befriending children in Portsmouth and its neighbourhood, where there is a special necessity for such efforts ? The Home specially needs a laundry, to provide occupation and training for its inmates, and there has been a difficulty in raising sufficient funds, 22,500 being required. Will any who feel disposed to aid the work send contributions to Sister Emma, St. Andrew'm Home, or to me P—I am Sir, &c., FLORENCE HARRISON.

Kemnal, Haslemere, Surrey, August 10th.
