Five Sisters of Charity and two

during the week as having completed
the prescribed course of training at

ter Domitilla, Sister Rita, Sister Ros-
anna, Sister Marcella and Sister
Coletta; Misses Mary E Collins and c.
+. Weichlein. Miss Collins will take
up her work in this city. Miss WEIGH

1t is just three years since the train
ing school was established under what
seemed at the time discOura cling cir !
cumstances. Contrary to the belief at
the time, the school has fourished and /
has added greatly to, the facilities of
the hospital. The staff physicians
speak in the highest terms of it.
The promoters of the fair in aid of |
the House of the Good Shepherd are
now Sanguine of success The fair will |
open in the Coliseum hall May and |
continue until May 16. 1t is the first |
time in four years that the Sisters of !
the House of the Good Shepherd have /
appealed for public charity. and even |
now it is not the demands of daily |
maintenance that prompt them. for the I
house is self-supporting institution, |
but they desire to more effectually care
for the inmates. There is a lack of |
proper living and working space that !
retards the development of the insti-
tuition. The time has been reached in
the history of the house when the space
in the dormitories mas been crowded to
its utmost, and the work room has been
cramped by the number of laborers
required Work is refused daily and |
deserving cases entitled to the assist |
ance and practical sympathy Of the |
Sisters are confined in too close quar-
tiers to do full justice to the good wo
men and their work. An addition to
the main building is contemplated. and
If the fair is a success its immediate
erection is assured. Since plans for the
fair have been under way attention has
in a particular manner been directed
to the institution. and the Good Shep-
herd Aid society has received fifty new
and interested members into its ranks.
At the fair the programme commit
tee is to receive a number of stage
from the Sisters in the
persons of about forty of the little
inmates of the house, who will present
at times programmes of exceptional
merit. Sixteen of the little orphans
will present realistic production OF
the genuine plantation cake walk.
