AN APPEAL FOR THE DEVASTATED REGIONS OF FRANCE.

[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.] Sift,—I am working for the Devastated Regions of France, and have sent out 5,000 things already. I am collecting again, and if you would put a small paragraph for me in your valuable paper it would be a great help. I should like to ask every kind reader of the Spectator to send me one flannel or one woollen garment, a blanket or a rug for the Somme District. The smallest sum of money will be gratefully received. All parcels and communications addressed to Lady Dickens, 8 Mulberry Walk, Chelsea, will be acknowledged [For the benefit of those of our readers who may not happen to know, let us say that Lady Dickens is the wife of Sir Harry Dickens, K.C., the Common Sergeant, son of Charles Dickens.—En. Spectator.]
