Sir, – On reading Frank McNally's Irishman'sDiary of February 14th, and the reference to a written request by one "Siobhan" to St Jude, to pray for a hopeless case, brought back memories of my convent school education, when we were encouraged to pray, not only to St Jude but, especially before exams, to St Joseph for hopeless cases! Oh, what confidence our teachers had in us! – Yours, etc,
EILIS LAWLOR,
