WOMEN'S HOLIDAY FUND.
tTo Tax EDITOR Or TER "SPECTATOR."] SIR,—Your readers will, I hope, be more generous than ever this year in their response to the appeal for the Women's Holiday Fund, which sends London working women to the sea or country for two or three weeks in the summer, adding-- what is necessary to the amount contributed by the women' themselves, who pay as much as they can afford. We .badly' need more money to meet the expenditure entailed by the increasing, numbers of those applying to us for help to get, a short holiday away from their work and worries:-.; Those interested in the house set apart foi- mothers and children will like to know that we have this year rented a house of otfr "own instead of taking temporary lodgings for them. Here a nurse matron watches over the interests of both mothers and babies, and so far the remits are most satisfactory. Of course this entails greater expenditure, and we beg all who are planning summer schemes for their own rest and refreshment to set aside a small percentage of holiday money for the sake of -thbse who without some help can have no holiday at all. Contriliwtiona will be gratefully acknowledged by -the- Hon. Treasurer, A. S. Daniell, Esq., Fairchildeft, Warlingham, Surrey; by the Secretary, Miss Crawford, 76 Denison House, Vauxhall Bridge Road, S.W., or by Mrs. Frank Pownall, 7r Bickenhall
Mansions, W.—I am, Sir, &C., HELEN A. POWNALL 7F Bickenhall Mansions, N. (Chairman of Es. Com. W.H.F.)
