NECESSITOUS LADIES' HOLIDAY FUND.

[TO THE EDITOR Or THE " SPECTATOR:1

Spit,--You were good enough on a previous occasion to allow me space in your valuable paper to appeal for contributions to provide holidays for necessitous ladies, and through the generosity of your readers I was enabled to send many away to the sea or country side.

I venture again to trespass on your kindness, and to ask for help to give holidays to governesses, hospital nurses, secretaries, musicians, actresses, typists, and ladies engaged in other professions, who, without the chance of earning money in the summer months, are often left behind in London exposed to the sufferings attendant on poverty. That rich men and women would but hold out the hand of kindness to their less fortunate sisters ! More especially I beg for those too proud to beg for themselves, for the sick and overworked.

All contributions will be thankfully received and distributed among the deserving cases if sent to me at 48 Upper Berkeley
