GIRL GUIDES.
(TO THE EDITOR OP TICE " SPECTATOR.")
Sze,—There ore very few people nowadays who have not heard of amongst Girl Guides and the immense good the movement is doing amongst girls of all classes. As a great admirer of the Girl Guides Association I want to point out one of its latest develop- ments, and that is the establishment of an Officers' Training School. Lord Portman has lately lent No. 3 Bryanston Place for this purpose, as the premises lent by Mrs. Lumley Holland had become too small for the ever-increasing number. of officers attend- ing the classes. In these days, when money is getting scarcer and the war charities absorb most of one's spare cash, the most de- serving philanthropic schemes bare had to suffer. The Girl Guides have done splendid war work during the last three years, paid and unpaid, and deserve some help. Friends of the movement might perhaps present some articles of furniture—cupboards, chairs and tables, dark blinds, bookcases, linoleums, de. A piano is a great want for the orchestra which is to be started in the autumn. A large carpenter's bench and a telephone would all he most acceptable by the middle of September, when classes reopen. —I am, Sir, Ac.,
