AN APPEAL FOR VOLUNTARY WOMEN WORKERS. (To THE EDITOR OF

THE " SPECTATOR."] SIR,—May I avail myself of your courtesy to ask for more help for our wounded soldiers ? There is immediate need of three hundred voluntary women workers for sewing, machining, knitting, and preparing dressings at our British Red Cross and Order of St. John Central Work Rooms, the Royal Academy. We supply clothes and dressings to the Red Cross hospitals at home and abroad, and there is no service more directly beneficial to those who deserve our best, and who are entirely dependent upon it. The appeal is to women who can give four half-days a week from ten to one or two to five; and here I should mention that among our workers are professional sempstresses who, after their day's work, give their only leisure. Applications should be made to the President, the Countess of Gosford, British Red Cross, H.Q., Central Work Rooms, Royal Academy, Piccadilly, W.1.—I am,

Royal Academy, IV.
