Appeal on behalf of the Women's Holiday Fund
By the Rev. Canon C. S. WOODWARD is the object of this Fund, which is the Good Cause of this week, is to send women requiring rest and change to seaside or country for a fortnight or three weeks' holiday. The average cost of two weeks' holiday is £3, including fares, of which applicants pay about one third. The Society has one permanent Holiday Home at St. Leonard's-on-Sea, kept for mothers and babies, which is open most of the year round. It was founded in 1895 by people who realised that most of the misery found in the poorer quarters of London was due to the fact that so many working women lacked any opportunity for relaxation or change. Every year it provides a considerable number of these women, who have never had such a thing in their lives, with a holiday, and little imagination is required to picture the resulting joy and renewal of health and spirits.
Contributions should be sent to the Secretary, Women's Holiday Fund [address removed]
