CHILDREN'S COUNTRY HOLIDAYS: A "SPECTATOR" FUND [To the Editor of

the SPECTATOR.] Sia,—Among the first and most helpless sufferers from the reverberations of the general strike are many of London's poor children. I appeal on behalf of the Children's Country Holidays Fund for donations to enable this society to send away during the summer as many as possible of the under-nourished children, to whom a fortnight in the country will bring refresh- ment of body and mind.—I am, Sir, &c., A. F. LONDON.

[The Bishop of London shows why the need for help in this admirable cause is more urgent than usual this year. We shall be glad to receive, acknowledge in the Spectator, and forward to the Fund any donations which our readers may care to send to us. Envelopes should be marked " Children's Fund." The Spectator opens the list with a donation of ten guineas.—En. Spectator.]
