their slightly older sisters who have
found the world too hard for their del
icate natures will make the gray walls
of the Stevenson house the more
fraught with pain.
In Europe there are many Carmelite
retreats and they are usually in lovely
spots, which makes the absolute sex
clusion of even enjoying the beauties
of nature the more pointed. But in
this young land where life is lived
physically and in the open there have
been very few converts established
This will be the eighth. The first one
was established in 1890 III New York
the next in 1918 in Boston. Later Bal
timore. New Orleans and Montreal were
chosen for converts, and this is the
first to be established on the Pacific
coast
AS the nuns never go beyond the
convent walls and communicate with
the outside world only through a
woman who does not belong to the or
der, little is generally known of them.
In fact. it is almost impossible to learn
about their daily life and the facts set
down here We're only gained after
great effort. The Photographs shown
here are from collection taken in
France and the only ones in existence.
The order has a legendary origin far
back in the time of the Prophet Eli
jah, who, it is said, founded the order
on Mount Carmel. Among his disci-
pies was Obadiah, whose wife became
the first abbess. after taking a vow of
chastity. The first historical record of
the order, however, is in 11S5, when a
Greek traveller. visiting the Holy land
found "a nloaastery. IN Mount Carmel

urres of life. The nuns slept on straw
and ate no meat. Since that time the
nuns have never owned property and
have subsisted wholly upon aims.
Saint Theresas example is ever held
before the Carmelite nuns and they
emulate her in their religious duties.
They pray and fast and beat their
tender flesh with knotted cords. scarify
their brows with crowns of thorns and
even submit to the constant torture of
hairc1oth, known as the height of PEN
ance.
On account of the secrecy which sur
rounds the order 1t is impossible to
give the full details of the ceremonies
which attend the entrance of a novice
into the order and her daily life until
her face is uncovered for the first time
in death, but some facts are known.

and told of its existence to the crussad-
ers Becoming known. the order spread
to Europe, Saint Louis, the great
French king and crusader, establish
ing a Carmelite house in France.
The Carmelite nuns, however, did
not come into great prominence until
the time of Saint Theresa, who was
born in Avila, Spain, in 1915. When
she entered the order as girl the
monastical habits of austerity which
characterized the middle ages were be-
coming lax and she found that the
sisters of the famous order were in
dulging in luxuries not always con-
formingsto the rules of the order. She
was of far different turn of mind
and spent her days in fasting and pen
ance Still she could not help seeing
the slaxness about her and she spent
many years attempting reform. But
it was not until 1862, when she had
been in the convent for 80 years that
she was able to bring about the re-
forms she sought. She succeeded in
obtaining papal bull which permitted
her and several other Carmelite nuns
to leave the conspicuous home of the
order and seek a secluded refuge in a
quiet street.
The little convent of the Reformed
Carmelites grew and, on account of
the extreme simplicity in which. they
lived, they were called the Barefoot
Nuns The most severe rules that could
be found in the history of the order
were adhered to and, in fact. have been,
practiced ever since. Never after that.
