Mary—and decided to dedicate her
country place to this purpose.
The offer was first made during
the lifetime of Right Rev. Charles
McDonnell, Bishop of Brooklyn, hut
the latter was ill for several months
before his death last August and
unable to take action. When Miss
Adams’ proposal was brought to the
attention of Right Rev. Thomas E.
Moiloy, present Bishop of Brooklyn,
he investigated it and gave his con
sent to the acceptance of the prop
erty by the Sisters of the Cenacle.
The last obstacle to the transfer
of the title from Miss Adams to
the sister is now removed.

New York.—Through the gift by
Miss Maud Adams, the famous ac
tress, of her estate of 300 acres at
Ronkoukoma, Long Island, to the
Sisters of Our Lady of the Cenacle,
these nuns, who conduct a retreat
house at 628 West 140th Street, New
York, will be able to meet the grow
ing demand from women of culture
for a place of retirement and spirit
ual refreshment, as they have not
heretofore been able to meet it.
Miss Adams lias lived for long per
iods at St. Regis House, the eon-
vent of the Sisters of Our Lady of
tlie Cenacle, and was a witness of
the value of retreats and of the
large number of women whose re
quests for accomodations there had
to be denied for want of room.
The Rev. Mother Marie Majoux,
Vicar Provincial of the Sisterhood,
says that while plans for the use
and development of the estate arc
not yet matured, a large building
probably will he added to those
now there. The house which for
k time served Miss Adams as a
tountry home is big and commod
ious. It is a two-story, stucco
itructure. Tlie whole property is
ralucd at about 8150,000.
For the last several years the
istate has been in the keeping of a
laretaker. This man, with help
from Olliers', lias reared pigs and
poultry and grown vegetables for
the New York market. The land
Is partly covered with woods and
much of this is being cut and sold.
Miss Adams has continued her su
pervision of the place even during
her residence and travels elsewhere.
It is the sort of farm that Sisters
yvith their patience, industry and
^ood management are sure to make
gtot only beaulful but valuable.
When it was definitely announced
that Miss Adams had given her es
tate to the Sister of Our Lady of the
Cenacle, it was generally taken for
granted that she had become a
Catholic, especially in view of her
frequent “retreats” at St. Regis
House, but her conversion is not
confirmed. She is a non-Gatholic
and was born and reared in Utah.
Miss Adams' regard for the Sis
ters of the Cenacle is not surprising
to those who know her and the good
nuns. She is a thougliful, serious
woman, who lias cultivated her pro
fession as a fine art; who loves pri
vacy in her hours of leisure. It is
easy to understand how she was at
tracted to the quiet, peaceful, spirit
ual atmosphere of St. Regis House
and to the cultured and refined
nuns who conduct it. These nuns
are of the highest type of gentle
women, who know and appreciate
the best in music, letters and paint
ings.
Catholic women of Manhattan and
Brooklyn—women of the intellect
ual and social elite—have been ac
customed to make retreats at St.
Regis Hou^e, where for days and
sometimes weeks they might turn
(heir minds and hearts wholly to
God, free from the distractions of
tlie world. This companionship too
Miss Adams must have found con
genial to her own spiritual ideals.
Indeed, the number of women who
have sought a brief refuge from
the frivolities and futilities of life
by a sojourn in this house of re
ligion frequently has been so great
that the utmost provision for them
is often inadequate. The need for
a larger building was much clearer
to the sisters Ilian the means of
acquiring one. Miss Adams saw
the situation when visiting St.
Regis House last May—the month of
