In the sanctuary one by one they knelt, begging Bishop Thomas J. Walsh of Newark to admit them to the religious community. From each dark head full-fledged nuns removed the white veil. The Bishop substituted the shiny black sunbonnet-like headdress of the Maestre Pie. Now a novice, each girl walked back from the sanctuary in the black habit which she expects to wear for the rest...
