RESCUE WORK AMONG GIRLS OF THE EDUCATED CLASSES. .

[TO THE EDITOR OF THE " SPECTATOR.")

SIR, — M 11C11 that is exaggerated and untrue has recently been said about the conduct of our women and girls, but, on the other hand, facts are facts, and many of us know only too sadly that there is abundant need of every effort that can be made to rescue those who have fallen or who are in danger of falling. The Fellowship of St. Michael was founded and exists to carry on this difficult but terribly necessary rescue work among girls of the educated classes. The extreme quietness and silence in which such work must be done militates in a very serious degree against the collection of funds, without which it is impossible to carry on. We very earnestly beg that this most valuable work may receive really generous support. The Bishop of London is Visitor to the Fellowship, and has been in the habit of signing our annual appeal, but his absence abroad prevents us to-day from having the help his name always affords. All information as to the objects and methods of the work can be obtained from the Secre- tary of the Fellowship, 5 Bloomfield Terrace, S.W.I. All contri- butions should be sent to the Treasurer at the same address. Cheques should be made payable to the Fellowship and crossed "Lloyds Bank a/c Fellowship of St. Michael."—We are, Sir, &c., JOHN KENSINGTON. President.

A. C YPRIAN BOURNE WEBB, Treasurer.
