SILENT SISTERS IN CONVENT
Remarkably Severe Regulations Gov
ern the Life of Spanish Religious
Organization.

Not far from Biarritz is a commune
ty of women who pass their lives in
silence. They live and die in the
( Convent of the Silent Sisters, and are
buried in silence in the little cemetery
within the walls of the grounds. At
o'clock, winter and summer, they leave
their bare cells, and for three un-
broken hours tell their beads and say
their prayers. until they are sum-
moned to their Spartan breakfast.
Two more hours they spend, later in
the day, with their rosaries and pray
ers in secluded corner of the chapel,
the rest of the day being devoted to
work of various kinds and to medita-
ton. In the refectory, a dark. unin-
viting chamber with sanded floor,
along which run wooden tables and
benches. the tables are spread for the
midday meal, with an array of brown
water-jugs and wooden spoons and
forks displayed on coarse serviettes.
which take the place of tablecloth.
During the meals not a sound is heard
"a whisper. even, would be a grave
offense bringing swift penance; and
every Friday the Sisters eat their
meals on their knees. The Sisters
must first spend two years of proba-
ton, at the end of which they are free
to depart If they so wish. II they de-
eide to take the vows they can never
pass beyond the convent walls again.
even in death. The survivors them
selves dig the graves, which are un
marked, save for few shells.
