THE BLUE LAMP
SIR,—In these times of stress and strain, whed our minds are filled with.thoughts of our very gallant Army, Navy and Air Force, perhaps the readers of The Spectator would spare a thought for the girls, often mere children of 15, who go astray in this city of London, sometimes from reckless love of amuse- ment, sometimes from the influence of bad companions, and often from sheer loneliness. The Blue Lamp tries to be a real home to these often homeless girls, and to hold out a friendly hand. But if we are to keep open and continue what is in a sense a very real piece of War work, we must have more friends to support us.
May I appeal very earnestly to the sympathy and generosity of your readers, and ask them to send a subscription, however small, to the Hon. Secretary, Miss Evelyn Ponsonby, 71 War- wick Gardens, London, W. 14, who will gladly give any further information? I have been connected with the Blue Lamp for over twenty-five years, and can vouch personally for the very fine work it has done.—Yours truly,
HYLDA WRENCH, Vice-President.
The Blue Lamp Refuge for Prevention and Rescue Work or Moral Welfare, 38 Great Pulteney Street, Regent Street, London, W. x.
