A Noble Work

In Cropsey's hall, every Saturday at 3 p. m., about forty girls, almost entirely frora the poor famiiies of the city, meet and are taught to do sewing, to baste, to out out work etc., by a small band of devoted ladies who give their time freely to the work. Of all kinds of charitable effort, thia is the best; for it calis out en deavor and gives something which will be of permanent value, without leaving in the slightest degree a sense of humiliation and degradaüon. This sewicg school has been doing its work for four years unheralded. During the past three years, Miss Amanda Brown has had its general supervisión. When she is absent as at present, Miss Henning takt Ohafge. More vhaD 10 children have enpyed its beneflts. Among the teachers futlüd at work ast Saturday Wei-e Miss Mabon, Mrs. Sewall, JIrs. W. W. Tczer and daughter, Miases Annie Wallace, Anuie Wilsey and Bdith Seyler. Toe threemisses had charge cf a large tlass who were doing patch work. lt is apparent, even to a novice, that there ought to be a few more teachers there to attain the boit rtsults. It is thought that iL this excellent chance of doing permanent good were well known, there would be plenty of ladies to volunteer in the work. The Ladies' Öbar'table Union buy what is made at the school, and kindiy disposed citteens often make contributions to the work. Of course there is gome expense coünected with maintaining the work. towa.-ds which the ladies would gladly receive voluntary contribations. Here is a chance to do good without letting the other hand know very much about it I During the last half hour of each session, the pupils crowd around the organ and, led by Miss Mahon, Miss Wilsey and Miss Meioderman, they ecjoy thetnselves by singing.
