THE GIRLS' FRIENDLY SOCIETY.
To THE EDITOR OF THE "SPECTATOR."] SIR,—Will you allow me to draw your attention to the fact that the " Travellers' Aid " is not the only society that protects girls against the infamous " White Slave Traffic " P The Girls' Friendly Society is the largest and the most widespread protective society in the world. It protects its members in four ways : first, by its registry system ; all situations found through it are guaranteed as safe, and the dangers are quite as great in seeking employment as in travelling. Secondly, by its emigration department it protects its emigrants from shore to ' shore and beyond. Thirdly, it co-operates with the " Travellers' Aid" in meeting girls at railway stations, piers, and landing stages. Fourthly, it has lodges in all largo towns and many small ones where its members can find shelter in an emergency, as well as a permanent or temporary home under ordinary circumstances. May I ask you, Sir, in fairness to our society to make these facts public P The Girls' Friendly Society Central Office, where all information can be obtained, is at 39 Victoria Street, Westminster.—I am, President Southwark G.F.S. Di000san Council. Lismullen, Wimbledon Park, S.W.
