Half-year Meeting Concludes with Gifts for Girls
Months after a good conduct certificate from their employer each girl receives 31.8s as the half-year total. On the 30th those returning will have a Crystal Palace day funded by committee members for 380 children. Distant friends may support the fifty or sixty who stay, with excursions and a berries and cream day in the grounds. Contributions to Mr Soul at 73 Cheapside are welcome.
