WHITE ROSE.--There is a “Factory Helpers Union” which is worked under
the auspices of the “Y.W.C.A.” The Hon. Secretary is Miss Skirrow, and
the office at 26, George Street, Hanover Square, W. There are branches
of this society at most of our large provincial cities. Amongst these
we may name Birmingham, Bristol, Eastbourne, Manchester, Ipswich,
Derby, and Leicester.
MARGARET H.--Put an advertisement in some of the leading papers, and
put up notices in the windows of the shops. Many of the owners would so
far oblige you, especially the grocer’s, butcher’s, and baker’s where
you deal, or propose to do so.
MARY AND KATHERINE.--We are very sorry for you; but your first duty is
to obey your parents. Take each some permanent address and in course of
time a correspondence may meet with no opposition. You are both minors
only.
NELL.--We give a notice of your “Invalid Home” at 10, Terrace Road,
Buxton, Derbyshire. The terms for board and lodging, with nursing,
etc., from two to five guineas a week. When visitors need only rest and
change of air, the terms are two and a half guineas, or three and a
half when two persons share the same room.
LILLY H. Y. Y.--Your letter impressed us very painfully. For a young
woman, or anyone, to “despise everybody” is a bad sign. There must
be grievous mental or moral disease (we do not mean in the sense of
insanity). Some of these light-hearted and apparently frivolous young
people may have fine, generous, unselfish natures, tender, loving
hearts; people who, whatever their tastes may be, or capabilities, or
deficiencies for intellectual culture, might willingly sacrifice any
selfish gratification to serve, or afford a little kindly attention to
another. Our divine Father made us all, with diversities both of gifts
and of opportunities. He does not “gather where He does not straw,” nor
does He permit anyone to judge his brother, nor to despise him. To his
own Master he will stand or fall. When your mother has a visitor, is it
not your duty as a daughter of the house to remain with and help her?
“Little children, love one another,” so said “the beloved disciple.”
Are you trying to profit by his teaching? We ask it in all kindliness
of feeling.
