A TRIBUTE TO OUR SOLDIERS.
[TO THE EDITOR OF THE " SPECTATOR."] SIR,—I venture to say that the need for warm garments for our men at the front and in hospitals is one that must appeal to every loyal woman in this country. In a letter that I have received from Sir Edward Ward he says: " I can assure you that any help you can give us in providing additional comforts I shall greatly appreciate, as the demand is exceedingly heavy." Will every loyal woman who reads this letter send me a donation in money, or a promise of a pair of socks, a shirt, a pair of bed- socks, or a bed-jacket, handkerchiefs, towels, &c., and I will for- ward all to headquarters and acknowledge her gifts? I have, I beg to say, a large number of promises by skilful helpers. Some heads of High Schools, Church and Board Schools, and schools of all denominations, and many groups of patriotic women in Guilds and elsewhere. Help in this manner I believe to be urgently needed.—I am, Sir, &c.,
