.cHILDREN'S COUNTRY HOLIDAYS : THE " SPECTATOR " FUND A

FURTHER sum of £118 19s. 10d. has been received for the Children's Country Holiday Fund during the week, making the total to date £315 ls. 10d. If the readers of the Spectator are to provide for a two weeks' holiday in the country for five hundred poor London children a sum of £184 18s. 2d. is still required. Owing to the coal stoppage and to other causes many London children will have no holiday this year. We hope that our readers will enable the Children's Country Holiday Fund to deal with its long waiting list. Envelopes should be marked, " Children's Fund," Spectator, 13, York Street, CoVent Garden, London, W.C. 2.
