TAKING THE VEIL.
Three Young Ladies Join the Vista
ton Convent--FOw More to Join
the Sisters of St. Joseph This After
mountaineering CermOnies.

A beautiful and very touching cere-
mony took place at Mt. de Chantal yes
terday afternoon. Three young ladies
became Sisters of the Visitation Order.
They were Miss Mary Lodick, con-
vert. of Sandusky, o., who received the
name of Sister Mary Antonia; Miss Mary
Macdona. of New York, who will be
known as Sister Francis de Sales, and
Miss Della Manion, Of Baltimore, whose
religious name is Sister Mary Annetta.
Miss Lodick is a graduate of Mt. de
Chantal.
The ceremony was very impressive.
The habits were blessed by Rt Rev.
Bishop Donahue, who was assisted by
Rev. Fathers Paquin and Moye. The
young ladies who were aspiring to the
religious state entered the Convent
Chapel dressed in white silk and veil.
The Rt. Rev. Bishop addressed the can
didates in appropriate words explain
ing the nature OF a convent lie. lie
dilated on a life of sacrifice and prayer
that the new religious were expected to
live and explained what an interior life
means for a true Christian. After the
discourse. the new habits were blessed
and we're given 10 the POstulants, who
then retired. At Benediction they re-
turned to the Chapel clothed in the
gard of a Visitation Sister.
Mt. de Chantal will have very pros
porous school this year, as they have
received more applicants this term
than they have received in many years.
The Sisters are very much encouraged
with the number who are to attend the
school. even from other cities, as
number are to come from Baltimore and
New York.
This far-famed institute of learning
was established in 1S4S by the RI. Rev.
r. V. Whelan, Bishop of Wheeling, and
removed to the present site in 1865. The
academy is under the direction of an
order founded by st. Francis de Sales,
who wished his daughter to be remark
able for their simplicity and gentle
flrmness. These characteristics of the
Sisters inspire the school government
of Mt. de Chantal. The discipline is
strict but is founded on a sense of dig
nifty. honor and self-respect. In meth
cd and scope of teaching the Mount has
kept pace with the foremost ranks OF
modern Improvement. The curriculum
of studies offers the usual course in
mathematics. physics and astronomy
for which are provided the necessary
