the Sisters for inspection of the insti-
tuition by the general public. Wonders
have beer accomplished by these Sis
tiers of Charity in making this much
needed institution as complete as it is,
although many things are yet needed.
Spotlessly clean and light it is a pleas
ure just to go through the building.
Immediately opposite the main en-
trance the parlor furnished by Felipe
Chavez. of Belen, is a beautiful room.
The handsome Chickering piano, which
is a gift from Mr.. Chavez, is in this
room. 1t is a magnificent instrument
with a beautifully grained oak case. A
large book case is another piece OF
furniture in this room and now the
Sisters are trying to get well selected
books to fill it. A modest start mas
been made in this direction. All the
private rooms on the first floor nave
been furnished and in every case the
Sisters left every detail to the taste OF
the one furnishing so the rooms TO-DAY
were just as they were le1t by tne uoh-
ors. The rooms are completely lur,
nished and are uniformly dainty and
