A SLUM GARDEN
[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.] SIR,—Perhaps you would care to tell your readers that the East End Garden their generosity brought into being from a waste patch is the greatest success. The lupins are in bloom now and the garden is the joy of that dreary East End street. We do thank them heartily.
One reader has been down and was delighted with all she saw. We shall be only too pleased to see any others interested. If they write to me I will give all particulars and arrange to meet and show them over the Hut. I should also like to interest your men readers in the Men's Club—fifty-six members —loyal and grateful for what is done for them. They would greatly appreciate a visit.
Though the Hut is at Custom House in one of the poorest streets the men sing " God Save the King " at the end of each club night. Many have given up drink and own the public-house attraction was that it was " somewhere to get to " (out of a one-room home overcrowded by the family). Hoping that readers may be interested and will care to come
and see the work.—I am, Sir, &e., MAY WYNNE. 3 Wanlip Road, Plaistow, E. 18.
