SCENE 81.
Mrs. Be- Good Morning Mrs F.
You have, probably heard that we are
making an effort to raise box Of cloth
ing to send TO Madame Teller in Canada.
TO supply the poor deslitote Catholic child
rem with suitable clothing. TO 'ate1d her
school. MIR. Brown says there aye many
children who would be glad to attend. bul
cannot for want of suitable clothing 10
protect them against the inclemency Of
he cold winter wealher; and you know
at so large school it is very necessary
that they are decently dressed.
Mrs F:-I have heard something
about it. But thick we ought to look
about our own town and neighborhood,
and see if there are not some Of our own
acquaintance that are destitute and suffer
ing for the necessaries of life; and whose
children are obliged to stay out Of school,
for The reason that they have not suitable
clothing to wear. know OF some who
arc thus situated and was saying TO
ny husband, last night, that must 60
and talk with you, and some others, about
ii, and see if we could not think Of some
plan to get clothing FOR them, BY forming
ourselves into society, or some other
course, as we might think most proper to
bring il about.
B:-Why. really Mrs. F., if there are
any such, it surely ought 10 be done; but
for my part, know CT no such cases ;
and hardly think there are any in Town
thar are not able 10 clolhe their children
comfortably. and decently enough to at
tend our common schools here. If you
know Of any, just name them.
F:-WeIl, there is Mr.. W., our near
est neighbor. He is very industrious
hard, working man; but wages are very
low, aud his wife is not as we'll calculates
TO economic and save as some women
Besides, they have had considerable sick
ness in the family. They have thre,
very interesting children, which ar,
obliged to stay gu. Of school for want 0
suitable clothing.
B.-Dear me. Mrs. FL think yot
must be mistaken. have just called or
Mrs. w. and come directly from there
The children are at home, TO be sure
but she said she. was aboct fixing thei
: clothes for them TO wear to school: o
course they had clothes to fix. Besides
kshe promised to attend our sewing circle
to morrow, at Mrs. AS. She also sai'
she would bring in calico for one dress
and pay something toward the shawl an
hat for Madame Fe.ler; and l am sure
if she is as destitute as you represent. sh
could not DO so much.
