A QUESTION FOR PHILANTHROPISTS. [To TEN EDITOR OF THE "SractrArolc."

J SIR,—I have 210 to invest for the benefit of a young servant- girl of eighteen, as, if the money were handed to _her, her family would have it all from her in a very short time. A few months ago there was in your paper a correspondence as to the advantage of various societies in the way of pay during illness and pension later on, and I should be very grateful to any of those who took part in it, or, of course, any one else who has knowledge of the subject, if he or she would give me information. Not thinking the necessity would arise, I unfortunately did not take particular notice, and as my Spectator starts on a long round when it leaves me, culminating in South Africa, I cannot refer to back numbers.—I am, Sir,

MISTR ESS.
