A STEAD MEMORIAL,

''It .was a happy thought to establish ft hostel for young women as a memorial to Mr. •> Stead,"' says the Nation. "Tho house chosen— at a corner of St. Georgo's-road, Pimlico, London, almost in sight of tho river — has been well arranged, and the charges, low as they | are, are calculated to cover expenses. Four shillings a week will rent a cubicle or half of a double-bedded room. "Food is paid foi> according to a j tariff, and fivepence will purchase a meal consisting of meat, a vegetable, and pudding. On a weekly income of fifteen shillings, a girl, after paying for clean and pretty housing and wholesome food, will be left with three shillings or so for other expenses. Moreover, the directors of the hostel, perceiving that the surplus can hardly allow for laundry, have provided conveniences for the washing of clothes by their tenants."

The following 1 amounts are being paid out this month by Stratford district factories: Stratford £4132, Nptacro £1602, Cardiff £1223, Lowgarth £1320.
