EMPLOYMENT FOR GIRL AND WOMEN WORKERS. [To 2212 EDITOR Or
THE " SPECTATOI.."] STR,—It has been strongly urged in various quarters that the Girls' Friendly Society and the Young Women's Christian Asso- ciation should co-operate in trying to advise, and find employment for, girl and women workers, especially those who are secretaries, clerks, typists, governesses home from abroad, and good-class dress- makers, who are largely affected by the war, and with whose needs our two Societies are intimately acquainted.
We are working through our employment offices and agencies; we are in touch with the Labour Exchanges ; we have links with practically all organizations for the help of women, and can frequently obtain more practically individual knowledge of the circumstances of those applying to us than is possible to other agencies. We should therefore be grateful if any one who can help in the present emergency by providing daily or other employment for such workers as those mentioned above, or who is specially interested in their needs, would communicate with our Societies at either of our Central Offices (G.F.S. Central Office, 39 Victoria Street, S.W.; Y.W.C.A. Offices, 26 George Street, Hanover Square, W.).—We are, Sir, &c., ELEANOR J. CHLTE, President. Girls' Friendly LETTICE DIGRY, Head of Registry. f Society.
H. M. I.-Roc-TEE, President. EMILY KINNAIRD, Vice-President. I
Y.W.C.A.
We are in cordial agreement with the above letter:— EDITH M. DAVIDSON. LOU/SE CREIGHTON (President, N.U.W.W.). M. E. JERSEY (President, Victoria League). GERTRUDE Gow (National Vigilance Association). RUTH Youma (Association of Women Clerks and
Secretaries).
