A postulant (Latin: postulare - "to ask"): She wears a black dress and cape or "pelerine." This was the school uniform from about 1855 to the 1920s. With the addition of the "bonnet" or "cap" to her outfit, she signifies that she has begun her trial of religious life. She can leave at any time. (Information from Sister Clare Veronica Wyman, R.A.)
