FOUR LONELIEST WOMEN
SHUT OFF FROM WORLD. AMONG PRIMITIVE TRIBES. The four loneliest women in the world have passed through Port Moresby, Papua, on their way to what many must regard as a living grave. They are nuns of the Carmelite Order. They have gone to spend the rest of their lives in the silence and seclusion of a little convent built specially for them some 30 miles inland. There these four white women, who have dedicated themselves to a life of prayer and work among the primitive tribes of Ihe country, will live shut off from the rest of the world. They will occupy separate cells, and meet each other only in their little chapel for liturgical services. By the rules of their Order, they must eat no meat, wear no stockings and shoes, sleep on straw, not look into a and have no correspondence.
