NECESSITOUS LADIES' HOLIDAY AND GENERAL FUND. 1.70 THE EDITOR OF
THE " SPROTATOR."1 Sm,—For several years past you have been good enough to allow me to appeal in year, valueble paper for oontributions towards the Necessitous Ladies Holiday and General Fund. So much self-sacrificing help has been given to other charities to meet the need this awful war has in- vol% ed, that the needs of the poor ladies are likely to be overlooked.. Yet no class has euffered so pitiably as the poorer gentry through loss of work, fed ifierefore of money, and more especially governesses, secretaries, literary ladies, musicians, artists, companions, and those ladies engaged in other professions, who through weakness and age are disqualified for working at munitions. To these ladies, beyond a hen-, day, I supply relief in the form of food, medicine, clothes, and nursing. I plead for these,' our unfortunate sisters, who are broken through privation, and too proud to plead for themselves. Any contributions sent to the address below will be gratefully acknowledged and distributed.—
