BRITISH GIRL BUDDIST.
v - NIECE OF A BARONET. LONDON, May 6. - On a. hilltop at Kandy, Central Ceylon, Miss Eveline Grant Robinson, daughter a! the late Sh- Ernest William Robinson, niece of the present baronel. lives the life of a Buddist, says the Colombo correspondent of the Daily Express. She wears a white robe and a scarf. Her home is a lonely stone hut. She came out here in 1934. She said to me: “The call came suddenly. I obeyed. I had completed the first cycle of my present life. “The second cycle will be completed in Ceylon. When it has run its course I may go to India to some mountain fastness. where I shall complete the higher initiation.” Miss Grant, who is thirty-four, hopes one day to become a, fairly competent Pali student, to record the scriptures in the sacred language.
