The Sisters of Carmel, or the Car.
melIte Order. rs they are also known,
will open house In San Francisco,
and in no less a place than the ample
residence Of the widow of the late
Robert Louis Stevenson at the north
west corner of Hyde and Lombard
streets, overlooking the bay. The
beautiful home of Mrs. Stevenson
passed through two hands within the
past month, and when the first an.
nouncement was made that 1t had been
sold 1t was believed the buyer, Miss
Eugene Peyton, would occupy 1t. The
new owner did not make public the
deed by recording II until last Thurs
day, when she filed deed dated July
29th, by which she conveyed the Ste''
enson mansion and its large gardens
to Mrs. Alice Phelan Sullivan, the wife
of Francis j. Sullivan. On the same
date, II TRANSFERRED, Mrs. Sullivan
leased the premises to Most Rev. y
w. Riordan, Archbishop of San Fran
cisco, for the use of the Sisters OF
Carmel. Then 1t became known that
Miss Peyton merely acted In the mat
ter to expedite the purchase. The loI
extends northward from the corner o
Lombard street 1877 feet and & inches
and has u greatest depth of 81 feet
inches, being irregularly formed OF
= its western side. Precisely what Mrs
, Sullivan has done beyond giving tho
, lease Is not known, but II Is due {,
her generosity that provision has beer
made for the establishment of the Car
melite Order in this city. About {
2 year ago Miss Ada Sullivan, daugh

The life work OF The Sisters Of Car
