AN APPEAL.
THE SUPERIORESS of the ITALIAN TCONTENT on the APPEAL to the ladies and Gentleman of Hongkong for the usual GIFTS of CAST-OFF GARMENTS and WORN OUT CLOTHES to the Convent Of late, there has been an appreciable falling-of in the periodical collections of old and second- hand Materials received at the Convent. The Superiores feels confident that she has but to urge the pressing and daily increasing needs of the Convent in its provision for the poor, to receive benevolent responses from local residents.
The change of Beason calls for change of Garments for the Orphan Children. If residents will kindly realize the grant help they can render by sending such of their Dress Materials as are no longer any use to them, the little Children will be suitably provided with Clothes they are so much in need of.
