of Service and Good Fellowship. The guild was founded in April 1900 by Alice Corkran and charged a nominal subscription to members. The guild supported a cot at the Ormond Street Hospital for Sick Children, and also provided a scholarship to the Royal College of Music. Other activities included providing Christmas treats, one in Bethnal Green for 117 children and one in Kensal Green for 360 children, with the Guild members themselves providing the presents. The guild had over 2,300 members by 1905. Fund-raising events included tableaux vivant at Covent Garden in 1909, opened by the Duchess of Connaught and featuring Royal personages in the tableaux. In 1911 the Guild was fundraising for the King Edward Memorial Cottage where girl workers of gentle birth and limited means could take a holiday, either as invited guests or by paying a small contribution. By 1912, the Guild's trust fund was said to be distributing £450 annually and that more than 100 girls had benefited. The objective of the trust was not said to be that of assisting needy girls of gentle birth to acquire a profession al training. The Guild survived the closure of the magazine, and fund-raising continued, including a Gilbert and Sullivan Bazaar at the Royal Horticultural Hall, Vincent Square on 26 and 27 November 1920. The same venue was the scene of another fundraiser All in a Garden Fair on 22 and 23 November 1922. The Girl's Realm Guild office was at 2 Harrington Gardens in 1928, when it was selling tickets for the revival of L'Enfant Prodique, a French mime play, presumably a fund-raising event.
