IN A GOOD CAUSE.
To Every Reader of "Punch".
Dear Reader,—H.R.H. Prince Arthur of Connaught has consented to take the chair at the Centenary dinner of the Artists' General Benevolent Institution on May 6th. This Institution devotes itself to the help of artists who are in need through poverty, sickness or other ill-chance. As a lover of Art—and, of men—I am in close sympathy with this good work, and am to be represented at the dinner in the person of my Art Editor, Mr. F.H. townsend, who will act as one of the Stewards. I am appealing to my readers of their kindness to send something to swell his list, and so to help in making this Centenary a memorable year in the history of the Artists' General Benevolent Institution. Contributions addressed to Mr. F.H. Townsend, "Punch" Office, 10, Bouverie Street, E.C., will be very gratefully acknowledged.
Your faithful Servant,
Punch.
