THE SISTERS who direct ST. ANTONIO'S CONVENT at Macao will be very thankful to Shop-koupers, Linen-drapers, Clothiers and Tailors in Hongkong, Macao, and elsewhere who will send to them romments of material, books of patterns no longer used, and any pieces of cloth, no matter how small, of which they can. not make uso.

Those who send will thus, at no cost to themselves, afford the numerous hunds 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 by sharitable persons, and the Sisters are thus helped to keep up their very largo establishment, which is maintained by the ulms of friends sad in a grent measure by the earnings of the girls themselves, who lead by no means an idle life within the convent walls.
