WOMEN'S LIBERAL UNIONIST ASSOCIATION.
[To THE EDITOR OF THE "SPECTATOR:]
SIR,—The Duke of Devonshire's last words, as chairman of the recent meeting of this Association, were to the effect that we had done a great deal of work for the Unionist cause on an extremely meagre income. He trusted that larger funds would be placed at our disposal, and that more ladies would' join the Association.
Emboldened by these encouraging words, we venture to appeal through your columns to all women in sympathy with our objects to come forward and join us in working for them, either as active or subscribing members of the Association. Funds are urgently needed, and we can promise to make a good use of the sums entrusted to us.
Now is the accepted time ; a few months hence unready Unionists may rouse themselves to find their help comes too late to be of use in this grave political crisis.
We specially beg ladies in country districts who may feel' themselves isolated as Liberal Unionists, not therefore to fold their hands and do nothing, but to communicate with some one of our committee whose names are appended, or with our secretary, at 92 Palace Chambers, Bridge Street, Westminster, who will also gladly receive subscriptions and donations from all friends, whether men or women.— We are, Sir, &c.,
