Miss McCall is one of the most popular members of New York so ciety, and is a niece of Public Serv ice Commissioner McCall, Tammany candidate for Mayor. Until she en ters the convent at Kenwood, near Albany, ahe will be the center of gayety and many fetes will be given In her hono*\ In an interview In which she ex plained why she will become a nun, Miss McCall likens the sacrifice of friends and happiness she will be compelled to make to the sacrifice of a soldier who gives up his loved ones to fight for the honor of his country. ■'We must sacrifice ourselves for a principle,” Miss McCall said, “the soldier sacrifices his home, his loved ones, everything that is dear, for a principle—for the honor of his coun try. The same reason stands him in good stead when death comes, and he smiles and passes on gladly, giv ing his life to service. "My sacrifice will be to give up the things I have always done, my friends, the gayety and charm of society; to give up dancing, singing and playing, which as a'girl I love. “I have been loved all my life. 1 have been shown every luxury and have been showered with attentions and blessings. Yet through It all 1 had a feeling that it was not right— I had an indescribable desire to give myself to God while I was young and fresh, keen and warm-blooded. God does not want the useless husks— people who have known pleasure and life and turn to Him merely because they seek a new diversion. He wants youth and talent, fresh, young peo pie who will give their lives to him through love of service.' Relatives Come to Check Raiser's Aid SAVANNAH, Aug. 31.—Robert G.
