Sister, OF silence.

On the wild coast OF the Bay of
Biscay. half way between Barritz
and Bayonne, is the humble, bare
convent of the Sisters of Silence.
They are bound by their oaths never
to speak nor to look in a human face.
SPECIFICS, and with ever down cast
eyes, they mediate hour by hour and
day after day on the life that Is past
and the life that is to come. Toiling,
working and praying. But do not
believe for moment that, however
bitter their task, however humble
their dwelling in the lonely dunes"
however lowly and unadorned their
chapel, their @cellules"-which almost
resemble 4 prisoners cell, with moth.
ing but sand for the floor these soil
tary and silent women are never idle.
They till the barren soil and make it
fertile; they cultivate flowers and
grow vegetables in al undance, which
are freely sold in the markets Of
France as well as Spain; they make
lace, they make shoes: they paint
cards with exquisite taste-all of
which produce is sold for the benefit
of the Convent of the Refuge. En-.
press Eugenia has prayed in this
chapel; Queen Victoria has also been
a visitor within it's walls.
