THE WOMEN'S HOLIDAY FUND.
(TO THE EDITOR OF THE " SPECTATOR.")
SIR,—The Women's Holiday Fund is this year strained to its utmost capacity to meet the demands on it, for while those who need rest and recuperation after strain and illness are as numerous as ever, the great increase of prices for lodgings, food, and railway fares makes it impossible, in the present condition of our funds, for us to assist more than a fraction of the cases which come in for consideration. We reserve our money for the assistance of women really in need of mental or physical rest, and who cermet afford to take it unaided. It might surprise those of your readers who watch the reckless expenditure to be seen in some quarters, to know the numbers of women who are really short of money to meet the bare necessaries of life. Once again then we appeal with confidence to our kind supporters of former years.—I am Sir, &c., 1TELEN A. POWNALL
(Chairman, Ex. Corn., W.H.F.).
