...Latest addition to St. Gandhi's sisterhood in his model colony on the banks of the Sbarmati River at Ahmedabad is 21-year-old Nilla Cram Cook. She arrived from Greece where she took part in the Delphic festival and where she spent two years in a Sisters of Charity convent accustoming herself to the contemplative life.
