THE WOMEN'S LEAGUE OF SERVICE.
rro THE EDITOR OF THE " SPECTATOR., Sns,—The Spectator has so warmly supported the claims of motherhood and infancy in this time of national stress, that I hope you will allow me to make known through its columns the urgent needs of the Women's League of Service, a Society which for the past five years has established and maintained Infant Welfare Centres in various parts of London. These oontres provide Health Visitors who work under the Medical Officers of their district, infant consultations, dinners for nursing and expectant mothers, classes in cookery, needlework, and infant care, and in some of the centres ante-natal and dental clinics for mothers. The increased cost in food and salaries has rendered the usual income quite inadequate, and £500 is immediately required in order that each centre may be maintained at its full efficiency. Contributions will be moat gratefully received by the Secretary or the Hon. Treasurer at the Head Office, 31A Mortimer Street, London, W.—I am, Sir, &c.,
FLORENCE E. BAratErr, M.D.
P.S.—Visitors will be welcomed any day at 2 p.m. at the various centres as follows : Battersea, Ill Bridge Road West ; Hammersmith, 161 Sulgrave Road ; Pontonville, 129 Pentonville Road ; Stepney, 49 Church Street, 3finories ; Marylebono, 39 Lisson Street ; Shoroditch, 152 Kings- land Road ; East End, Boyd Hall, St. Luke's Square, Tidal Basin.
