Alas! don't no anything about Miss Helen Hart off-hand.  Will keep an eye
open for anything about her.  You may want to get in touch with Margaret
Barrow, a librarian in Manchester who is completing a doctoral dissertation
on British women and temperance reform.  If you want it, will get her email
address.
