HE SISTERS who direct ST. ANTONIO'S CONVENT at Macao will be very thankful
to Shop-keepers, Linen-drappers, Clothiers and Tailors in Hongkong, Macao, sillwhere who will send to the remnants of materials, books of patterus no kanger used, and any pieces of cloth, no matter how small, of which they can- not make use.
Those who
sond will thes, at no cost to them- selter afford the numerous hands in the convent, especially the little ones, opportunity for useful occupation; for pisces of cloth, even of a square inch, can be stitched together and very pretty pieces of work made out of cloth, that would otherwise be thrown away. These articles are bought hy charitable persons and the Sisters are thus helped to keep up their very large establishment, which is zeintained by the alms of friends and in a great measure by the earnings of the girls themselves, who lead by no means an idle life within the courant walls.
