...girl with a wisp of brown hair sticking out from under the light blue veil of her habit, walking about alone in the streets of Madrid. What the nun told the mother superior, in a combination of French and halting Spanish, was almost equally surprising: she had come from Aix-en-Provence to establish the first house of her order, the Little Sisters of Jesus, in Spain. She asked the mother superior of the Casa de la Virgen for hospitality until she could find a place to live...
...days, Sister Marie Aline was joined by a teen-age novice, Sister Dominique, who had once been a student at the University of Aix-Marseilles. Every morning after Mass, the two sallied forth alone in their blue and grey habits on long walks through sections of the city where nuns and priests-or anyone with a few pesos to rub together-are seldom to be seen.

...Bernard DeVoto '18, and Laurence McKinney '12 named two short stories and a poem, all of which appeared in the Advocate, as runners-up in the competition. Donald O.

Regardless of what she refers to, her piece creates...
Without additional U.S. aid (which Washington has already refused), France might soon be in for more trouble. But "Lucky" Pinay refused to be downhearted. Last month, vacationing at Aix-les-Bains in the French Alps, he ran into a gypsy in front of his hotel. The gypsy grasped the Premier's hand, studied his palm and said: "I see no change in your present political situation for at least a year or possibly two . . ." Then the gypsy traced Pinay's line of Mercury (which shows ability in the pursuit of wealth), and added: "You are going to make...
