lately sent to the women of America contained the sigma
lures OF S4S English women each Of whom must
presume, earnest in her wish to persuade do
what they claim to be right Now it would be very
kind and wicked in to doubt for moment the true
philanthropy of our English sisters" and that philan-

and each lady who has SO kindly given her name should
be requested to call again. and subscribe As 3D. which
makes American dollar This sum- so trihing that
no lady who could afford TO give her can for mo-
ment hesitate TO contribute, will in the aggregate make

interested themselves in behalf that their advice
backed promptly by their active charity, will do much
towards opening hitherto unbeevng to their
