They had not far to look, for just outside the train stood one of those groups that are all too familiar to those who have travelled at all through the south and west of Ire- land, the gathering of a family to say goodby to a girl who was going to America. She stood in the centre of the group, @ rosy cheeked, black haired, red Mpped girl of not more than nineteen years, whose beauty showed even through the handicap of swollen eyelids and reddened eyes.

But the picture of that heartbroken mother praying for the safety of the girl who was going from Ireland, kept withouetting itvelf against every black mountain of Connemara.

Tho Sisters of Benada knew the condi- tions of the cottage hemes in the dis trict better than any board of exam- iners, They know every story of want, and misery, and privation, through the countryside, Inspired by the neceasity of action, they made an appeal to the | Congested Dintricts Board for financial aid.

At the Lace School to-day nearly a hundred were at work under the direction of two Sisters and of ten grad- uate puplis, The regular attendance of Benada is nearly three hundred, but at- tendance falls off in ummer months, The interest of the girls in thetr work was manifest, and no wonder, for it has been work that has brought them not only hope but actual comfort, During the first year Benada paid the girls £1,000 for the proceeds of their work.
