A Letter Writing Guild.

A curious sort OF benevolent enter
prise is that existing in Birmingham,
England, under the title of the Girls
Letter guild. The aim of those who
started the work was to help factory
girls in this great manufacturing dis
trict by means of letters written to
them individually by ladies on various
subjects of every day interest. Each
lady is asked to write to her girl ut
least once month, and assume toward
her the role of an advising and SYM
pathetic elder sister.
The guild has existed only eighteen
months, but its membership is already
over q thousand, with seventy more
girls eager to join, and no 'lady" cor
respondents to complement them.
Miss Isabel kenward, the honorable
secretary, writes: Il am often asked if
these individual letters are appreciated
by the girls The constant rush of
girls who beg for "a lady is one reply
to this, and there is another testimony
in the pile of letters of thanks and
gratitude that pour in from the girls
themselves"
All contributions are voluntary; nei-
Their ladies nor girls are taxed. The
working expenses of the guild are
borne by the honorary members Qadies
and gentIemen), who subscribe a fixed
small amount year This idea might
be grated with advantage upon some
of the many working girls societies
which exist over here.-Her Point Of
