In Disappointment, Men Be-
come Victims of Vice;
Girls Resort to
Veil.
BY PARA DALTON.

WHY do girls become nuns
w AS a rule, when we think of a
" girl becoming a nun, we think
of her as of sweet, sanity disposi-
ton, who finds only happiness in a
life of denial and self sacrifice, but
this is not always the case. Many
times girls become nuns through
strong religious inclinations, while
others are impulsive and enter the
order without long consideration of
the fact that it means life of soil
tude. Others enter the walls
through dependency, when they
have lost faith in the people of the
outer world and some resort to the
veil when Cupid has played havoc
with their heart. Under similar con-
ditions r<any meC resort to the cup.
dissipation and carousal, to forget.
Occasionally you hear Of some
wealthy girl sacrificing her worldly
riches for the order, but the ques-
ton is. would such life appeal to
our Spokane maids? Some of them
have voiced their sentiments:
Miss Marietta Liftchiid: 81 don't
know why I wouldn't, but just
have a feeling that l couldn't.
think it mostly appeals to girls who
have met with some terrible disap-
pointment in this life. If ever you
hear of me becoming nun. then
you will know | have joined the
ranks of the disappointed"
Miss Daisy Cooper: THAT sort
of life might appeal to some senti-
mental girls. when they have just
gotten out of school, but I think a
careful consideration of the matter
would change their minds. y GER
tainly would not care to lead such a
secluded life"
Miss MabIe Spencer: IT really
have never given the matter more
than fleeing thought; but, o, heav-
ems! / would rather die than be-
come one of the order"
Miss Pauline O'Brien: From
what 7 know of the lives of the
nuns, they are very happy and
reaceful. They don't have to stay
If they don't wish to, and that is
more than you can say for matri-
mony." Just the same, Miss O'Brien
