"Hearth and home" Guild of Aid for Gentlepeople.
(OFFICES: 10 & 11, FETTER LANE, E.C.)
THE OBJECGT OF THIS GUILD is to help, in various ways, a very deserving section of the public, excluded by reason of gentle birth from benefiting by charities intended for the working classes, and MOST INADEQUATELY ASSISTED FROM ANY OTHER SOURCE.
HOW THE GUILD WORKS. - The Proprietors of that well-known weekly paper for ladies, "Hearth and Home," generously put a Wardrobe and Committee Room at the disposal of the Committee, and allow news of the doings of the Guild to be published free of charge each week in their pages. The expenses, therefore, of this much-needed organisation are unusually small, and its supporters may feel that their subscriptions and donations are bieng used to the very best advantage.
The Committee meet every fortnight. Each case is considered with the utmost care, and the particulars relating t oit are regarded as being strictly confidential. Every effort is made to deal with case quickly and in a sympathetic manner, while at the same time precautions are taken to avoid wasteage of funds on underserving persons.
REGULAR ALLOWANCES.-THE CHIEF AIM OF THE GUILD IS TO GRANT VOLUNTARY REGULAR ALLOWANCES, PAID MONTHLY, to those who by reason of old age or illness, are unable to work. In many cases it is found that there are neither relatives nor friends who are able to help, but should these exist, every effort is made by the Guild to induce them to co-operate in providing a monthly allowance. These allowances, although small, are a far greater help to applicants than irregular grants.
OTHER WAYS IN WHICH HELP IS GIVEN.-Grants are made to assist with educational expenses, to provide rest and change after illness, to meet the extra expenses of illnesses, and to assist working gentlewomen to obtain holidays. Work is found for applicants whever possible.
The lives of old and invalid persons have been brightened by the gift of fruit, flowers, invalid delicacies, books, papers, and comforts such as a mattress, elastic stockings, bed linen, curtains, carpet, and so forth.
We have also found kind friends for several children whose home life is a sad one, and have been able to arrange delightful visits for them, and in several instances have obtained free home and education.
THE GUILD INDUSTRIES.
The work is undertaken for the most part by old and invalid ladies.
LETTER-CASES. Post free, 1s. and 2s. per doz. These cases are made of strong brown paper, with tapes, labels and fasterners. They are most useful for the safe keeping of every kind of loose papers, letters, bills, etc.
HAND-KNITTED DISHCLOTHS.-Post free, 5s. 6d. per dozen. These cloths are of excellent quality, well made and durable; they are of the greatest use fo all cleaning purposes.
NEGLIGE CAP.-Price from 10s. 6d., post free. This charming novelty is copied from Bartolozzi's engraving, "A St. Giles' Beauty." The materials used are of the finest quality.
"LONDON CRY" CAPS.-Price from 1s.6d. each. These charming caps, for tiny children to wear when Morris dancing, are now much improved, being made to draw up, on strings that will untie for washing.
SUNBONNETS.-From 2s.9d. to 10s. each, these are made in several sizes, of print, zephyr, etc.; they are intended for Morris Dancers and for general outdoor wear.
THE GUILD WARDROBE.
The Committee are most grateful for clothes of all kinds, provided they are clean and in fairly good condition. May we beg for a few stamps in each parcel, to assist in paying the cost of the carriage fo the clothes to their final destination.
All communications should be addressed to the Secretary, Guild of Aid, 10 and 11, Fetter Lane, E.C.
MURRAY & CO., PRINTERS, 180 BROMPTON ROAD, S.W.
