ALPINES AND NATIONAL SERVICE.

[To THE EDITOR OF THE 'SPECTATOR."' venture to write and tell you what a great success, thanks to your kindness, my National Plant League has been (see Spectator, June 25th). I have made by the sale of my alpines £70. I have sent £35 to St. John's Ambulance (as I could not manage classes for the Red Cross in my Yorkshire division.), and the rest I have sent to the National Service League I hope next yeas.

to raise a similar sum for patriotic objects, and shall be most grateful for your aid again.—I am, Sir, &c.,
