Appeal on behalf of the Children's Country
Holiday Fund by Miss BETTY NUTHALL
To live in London all the year round is bad enough, but for a child to have to spend the summer in a London slum is a fate that no child-lover can think of with equanimity. The fund for which Miss Betty Nuthall, the famous tennis ' prodigy,' will appeal tonight was started in 1884, and since then it has provided a fortnight's holiday in the country for nearly a million and a quarter children, drawn from the poorest parts of London-children, who, as the Prince of Wales said, 'in the ordinary course of events would spend their whole youth without ever setting eyes on open country or ever once filling their lungs with country air.'
