A HOME FOR WOMEN WORKERS.
. , [To the Editor of the SpE,crAToa.] Sia,—Miss 1VIontresor's reference to the Y.W.C.A. Forward Movement, in her letter in the Spectator of August 9th, is most kind. When the new Women's Centre of the Y.W.C.A. is in being, one of its functions will be to supply at the Inquiry Bureau information on all residential hostels and clubs for girls needing accommodation, and we hope the Club of which Miss Montresor writes will be on the list and successfully established. Meantime, will you let us remind your readers that the Y.W.C.A. already has in London about 1,000 beds in 28 hostels ? Most of these are for just the classes of women workers of whom Miss Montresor speaks and, at about the same prices as those she names, are entirely self-supporting. One or two, such as our Hostel for young theatrical workers in Guilford Street and the International Hostel in Newton Road; Bayswater, have special needs. But we know from daily experience that there is always need for more accommoda- , tion of this sort, and we cordially wish success to the new proposal.—I am, Sir, &c., 25 and 26 George Street, Hanover Square, W. 1.
