NECESSITOUS LADIES' HOLIDAY AND GENERAL FUND. (To THE EDITOR Or
THE " SPECTATOR.") SIR,—As you have been good enough to allow my appeal for Neces- sitous Ladies to appear in your valuable paper in past summers. I venture ones again to trespass on your kindness.

Food, medicine, and clothing are provided for those who are beyond taking a holiday. All contributions sent to me at the address below will be gratefully acknowledged and
