ur, "Echoes of the Week" in the Illustrated London Nam, • tr. A. S. writes :— I paid a visit to some old friends of mine, the Nans of Nazareth House, Hammersmith. These good Sisters as many of my readers may be aware, shelter, feed, clothe and educate some four hundred girl children ranging in age between babyhood and sixteen years. They are trained to be domestic servants and nursery governesses ; and when they leave Nazareth House situations are found for them.

Their pencils might have given you some idea of the doleful yet comforting spectacle which I beheld. Scores npon scores of ragged and pallid men, women, and children, from dotards of seventy to urchins of seven, ravenously devouring the soup and bread served out by the kindly Bisters. Go to Nazareth House, Pomp, and see the soup served out to the outsiders ; and take physic, Pomp, before you go 1 r
