Hall and efforts were made to find her work. The
Charity Organisation Society was appealed to and
guaranteed to bring her incornc up to a sufficient level
for a certain length of time to give her a chance of
making good: they also kept up her insurance payments

end of September in the hope that later on employment
might be found for her there as a sewing maid.
The Handicraft (Gloving) Class.
This class, which was started in February, 1932,
has continued throughout 1933, the members meeting
on Tuesdays at the Dispensary. Thirty-five lessons
were given during the year, two hundred and eighteen
attendances being made altogether. On the whole
the class is slightly smaller than in the previous year
as one member has returned to ordinary work, one
has died and four are away in institutions and are
not likely to return.
There has been, however, a marked improvement
in the quality of the work ; and the fact that gloves
to the value of £51-19-2 were sold privately through
the Care Committee, besides those which were disposed
of by the Central Fund at Denison House,
speaks for the efficiency of the work done.
At the present time, there is a membership of
ten, with an average attendance of six.
The Secretary is only too glad to receive orders
for gloves, both for men and women, in various
leathers and styles, including motoring gauntlets
and gardening gloves.
