II SISTERS IN
CHORUS,OTHER
IN CONVENT
BY GENE COHN
BROOKLYN.—“Who is there to say
In what direction lies greatest hap
piness?”
Such was the tolerant philosophy
upon which Mrs. Lillian Condouris
raised her family of girls.
Mrs. Condouris is what might be
railed a “modern mother.” She look
ed upon her beautiful daughters a 3
Individuals” with definite rights to
choose careers and be self-reliant
Her own youth had been paved with
old-fashioned restrictions. She be
lieved in guidance, rather than re
straint.
In the living room of the modest
apartment of the Condouris family,
upon a recent afternoon, Betty, Bob
bie and Athena Condouris kissed
fondly and went upon their ways.
Betty and Hobble, giggling and
chatting, ran for a subway train.
Athena, with a composed smile of
spiritual contentment took a train
for Peekskill, N. Y.
And Mrs. Condouris, watching
them with the tender eyes of a
mother, did not question the sound
ness of her philosophy.
For that night, under the glare of
a country convent Athena renounced
the vanities of life for the cloistered
life of a nun at the Convent of Mt.
Bt. Francis.
"And we’re all happy and doing ex
actly what we wish to do." chirps
Hetty, IS, in discussing this choice
of roads of life, so widely divergent
and glaring in contrast.
"Athena was always quiet and stu
dious. I never did understand her
very well. I was a sort of tom-boy
kid. Athena never had any beaux,
nnd didn't go out much to dances
and shows. Now Bubble Is sort of
quiet, too. But she had beaux and
went out a lot.
"I went to night school and then
became a stenographer, but l didn’t
like it particularly. Bobbie was go
ing to school and studying dancing—
real dancing. I mean, like Pavlowa.
She's going to be a big league dancer
some day.
"Athena waa different. She used
to dress the little girls for commun
ion and. after mass, she would go
down and help at the mission in
Chinatown. She has been talking
about the convent for years. She
talked It over a lot with mother. You
see. mother didn't believe In Inter
fering with anyone's life. She. just
wanted u.« to be happy and figured
we couldn’t be if there was interfer
ence with our plans.
"Well, one night Bobbie and I were
listening In on the radio when we
heard an announcement tha> they
wanted pretty girl* for the choru*
The announcer said to bring one
piece bathing suits for a try-out. We
went over nnd made the grade.
"The funny thing was that Athena
really wanted to see us In the show
before she went to the convent. ' But
they pnttnnned the opening of It and
the very day she left was the day we
showed Maybe she would have been
shocked, anyway, at the costumes.
"We went down to see her the
other day nnd she was very happy.
And so are we."
Psychologists would probably say
that Bobbie and Betty arc expres«lne
the "supbressed desires" of their
mother, "hoe upbringing was over
strict: while Athena was n "throw
back” to her prim forebears.
But Mrs. Condouris 6oeks no ex
planation
"Who I* there to snv In what direc
tion lies the greatest happiness?" she
asks.l
