by Lady Bertha Dawkins

The society for which Lady Bertha Dawkins will appeal tonight was founded in 1859, and is almost the oldest Loan Training Society in the country. Since 1894 it has, by means of its loans. helped over 1,000 women to get a business or professional training that they would otherwise have been quite unable to afford. Of late years training fees have risen in proportion to the cost of living, and many applications have had to be refused. The Committee feel confident that, if they could raise a really substantial sum, they would never need to make another appeal, as the money that they lend is constantly coming back to be lent again.
