TOC H WOMEN HELPERS.

HOSTELS OF SERVICE. A sister organisation of Toe H—the Toe H League of Women Helpers—has been formed, states our London correspondent. New June is the name of the headquarters, a hostel for girls run on the same lines as a Toe H Mark, or hostel for young men. It is situated in Great Tower Street, on the site of a 12th century house called New June. Second June is the name chosen for another house in Notting Hill, to which the additions of New June had spread. In time it is intended that there shall be other Junes, just as there are other Marks. In the " family " of New June there are as many different elements as possible. The ideal of all associations of the Toe H League of Women Helpers is that there should be in each " family" a hospital nurse, secretary, domestic servant, student of medicine, dispenser, social worker, clerk, etc. They live together, each pledged to do some work of service—children's welfare, girl guidss, clubs, work tor hospitals, or the blincl. As in Toe H, the league requires probation before membership and appoints its sponsors to help the probationer to an understanding of the duties and privileges of membership. The women of the league help where they can in the domestic work of the Mark houses. They darn the socks, sew on the buttons ol: the young: men, and launder the vestments of the chapels.
