THE CHARITY OF ST.

ORBEROSIA Every Friday evening at nine o'clock the choicest of Alcan society assembled in the aristocratic church of St.Mael for the Reverend Father Douillard's retreat.

Prince and Princess des Boscenos, Viscount and Viscountess Olive, M.and Madame Bigourd, Monsieur and Madame de La Trumelle were never absent.

The flower of the aristocracy might be seen there, and fair Jewish baronesses also adorned it by their presence, for the Jewish baronesses of Alca were Christians.
This retreat, like all religious retreats, had for its object to procure for those living in the world opportunities for recollection so that they might think of their eternal salvation.

It was also intended to draw down upon so man noble and illustrious families the benediction of L.Orberosia, who loves the Penguins.
