THE ST. GILES DOMES FOR BRITISH LEPERS. ITo THE EDITOR
OF THE " SPECTATOR."" SIR, Z1'ill you kindly draw the attention of the readers of your valuable paper to the claims of the St. Gifes Homes for British Lepers on their charity? I find that the enajority of people do not know that such a thing as a British leper exists, but it is, alas! true that since 1914, when they were founded, the St. Giles Homes have been doing useful and most necessary work, receiving patients of all denominations, who are cared for by members of the Society of the Divine Compassion. Up to the prescut time wo have been enabled to keep the homes open through the generosity of friends, but wo are now faced with disaster unless tho public will come to our aid and help with sufficient funds to enable us, not only to keep the homes open, but to enlarge them, and to have a small margin over for the sorely-needed research work in connexion with this distressing malady. Any further information which your public would like to have I shall be glad to give them.—I am, Sir, &c.,
