CENTRAL BUREAU FOR THE EMPLOYMENT • OF WOMEN. •

[To THE EDITOR OP THE " SPECTAYOR.") • Sue,—We wonder whether we mayhring to'youir mitice alactate to be given by kind' permission of Lady Lyttelton at the Royal Hospital, Chelsea, on July 7th- at 3.30 by Sir Frederick Bridge on" Pepys' Diary and its Musical Notes." We cannot but feel that there must be many 'visitors to London, especially those from overseas, who would greatly welcome an opportunity of hearing a lecture on the music of Pepyfi by so great an authority and in surroundings so extremely appropriate to the subject. The lecture is also in aid of a Most deserving charity, indeed one which we can scarcely call a charity, since it is a loan fund founded to enable women to gain the necessary training to earn their own living, and is the means of helping them to help themselves.—We are, Sir, &e.,

MARGHERITA HOWARD DE WALDEN. MARY BUXTON.

[It is with great pleasure that we publish this letter. The Institution is no charity, but a piece of excellent financial organization. A Brain Bank is as sound a proposition as a Land Bank. The Loan Fund is lucky in having only female members, for women in the mass are much better payers of just debts than men.—En. Spectator.]
