They were on this acount permitted, once a year, to go abort and foicit the charities ofal! good Chnliains, and never returned empty handed. As thefe alms were bv them c:;iletted during Lent, they were generally called h'irontlillcs dc Gar cms. They always went u pairs, when on thefe expeditions, an old one and a young one, the latter as much as pofiible ban lb inc. gay. w no livelv. Thev fondly iniusrmed.
