Inn, FACTORY GIRLS ' COUNTRY HOLIDAY FUND. [To THE EDITOR 07
set "srrevvroa."3 Sia—The Committee of the Factory Girls' Country Holiday Fund have had a very difficult decision to make with regard to their work during this summer. On one side, never were holidays more needed by the poorer class of workers ; on the other, never was it so difficult to find safe accommodation and people willing to receive them or girls willing to leave their homes. Yet we all know there comma time when a holiday becomes not a matter of choice but of necessity—a matter of health and not pleasure. We have decided therefore to send away only those whose health makes a change desirable, as indeed we have been doing since September last, as far as funds permitted.
The Committee now appeal urgently for help. The oost per head for holidays is nearly double, as no reduction can be made in fares for the present by the railway companies, and the charge for board and lodging is necessarily greater. Also we feel very strongly that we should not spend more than we have in hand this year. In the past we have trusted the generosity of the holiday.. making public to refund the overdraft we have annually incurred. Subscriptions and donations will be thankfully received by the Hon. Treasurer, Mrs. Arthur Randal, or the Hon. Secretary, Miss Paget, 75 Lamb's Conduit Street W.C. Cheques and postal orders should be made payable to "Mary Canney," and crossed ...London County and Westminster Bank, Holborn Circus Branch." —We are, Sir, In., HENRY SCOTT /TOLLAND, D.D.; FRANK LrOVII; NORFOLK; Rouser F. Marron ; J. H. Haar., Chief Rabbi; LOUISE CREIGHTON; MARY Sr. HILLIRR; H. L. STRFNZir ROBERT M. SOUTHWARK.
