II is a fact, however, that as regularly
rs the months Of June and july come
Nrouud mauy ladies begin TO anticipate
receiving uIei notes Of invitation, issued
by the converts OF the order OF st. Mary
eonvcuts scattered an over the country,
North, South, East, aud West.
These retreats have taken place annually
Tor the last twenty five years, aud have
Decn attended Ey a great number Of ladies.
There is never less Than fifty or sixty
Nrescut, many OF whom are well known in
society.
IL is called a " weeks retreat" although
the actual time is only about three days;
thai is, The retreat commences at YES
pers Monday evening usually as near ST
John the Baptist day as possible, and
CLOSES after the celebration Of the Holy
Communion the folio wing Friday morning.

time. In this way three days are spent in
silence and meditation, nor does the time
seem long as one might suppose, indeed,
every moment is so fully occupied that the
days fly by very quickly, and on Friday
every one returns to her own home, feel
ing that she has spent happy and profit
able week.
There is nothing sensational connected
with these occasions; nor are retreats es-
tahlished for proselytng purposes. 1t is
not expected that one who takes part Will
eventually become a sister, although in
some cases one discovers, during this time
of meditation, that she has vocation" I"
