THE YOUNG WOMEN'S. CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION.
[To THE EDITOR OF THE " SPECTATOE."1 Sia,—Now that emigration is coming so prominently before the notice of the public, and the number of emigrants from these shores is increasing yearly, we would like to draw the attention of your readers to the work done in this direction by the Young Women's Christian Association.
Having its homes and hostels already established in most of the large cities of our overseas Dominions, this Association is able to give adequate reception and sound advice to those who leave this country provided with an introduction to our Secretaries in the Colonies. Information as to fares, assisted passages, safe escort on the journey, and openings for employment is offered free of charge to any girl who applies for it at the address given below, and the need of friendly help and advice at a moment, so full of importance in a girl's career, as that when she leaves the familiar surroundings of home-life to adventure in a young country with its many pitfalls for the ignorant and unwary, will readily be recognized. Funds are urgently needed to strengthen and develop this Imperial work that it may be adequate to meet the advancing needs of the present day. Miss Wingate, the National Head of our Employment and Emigration Department, is now in Canada, travelling in the interests of our work, but during her absence contributions will be gratefully received and acknowledged by Miss H. Langton, our Hon. Secretary for Emigration. H. M. Paoc-rsn,
EMILY KINNAIRD, MARY MORLEY, BEATRICE C. DARBYSHIRE,
Acting Head of Department.
26 George Street, Hanover Square, W.
