The /|lectric, light (by latest .. reperts) will be ready early m September, and the Home should be opened as soon: as possible. St. Augustine/s intends to , provide a lar^ge dining table. The- committee appointed by Chapter is busy looking for a matron, but nnds i its task very "difficult. So many qualifications are absolutely necessary,/not least a complete devotion to Christ and the care of His little onesi raotherlitiess, patience, experience sorac education, and knowledge of household management.
