The countess was about to depart for
Rome. when she received a telegram from
Nine. Blayatsky telling her TO come at
once She went to her and remained six
months.
Il viii simply give my experiences
while under Nine. BlavaJsky's roof she
said. They are wonderful, and l know
not whether you will believe them or not.
lone Of the most extraordinary occur
rences was the rapping on madame's bed
1t began at 10 o'clock every night and
continued until o in the morning. At
first there would be a distinct rap by her
bedside, and it would be repeated
throughout the night at intervals Of every
ten minutes. l have often lain awake all
night listening for this rap while Nine
Blavatsky was sound asleep. ! timed the
rap, too, and it would come in ten min
utes precisely TO the secon
II asked Nine Bla at 7 TO explain
this phenomenon 10 me, AM. she said il
was a spiritual telegraph iaIG out by the
master for the accommodation of pupils
and in order 10 facilitate communion with
him.
Il slept in the same room with Nine.
BlavatskY She usually read the Rus
sian papers al night and always left the
lamp burning. One night | arose and put
out the lamp. The room was perfectly
dark and ] went back to my couch Sud
denly the room was lighted and the lamp
was burning again. Nine. Blavatsky was
apparently sound asleep aud had not
moved. / thought that it was a strange
lamp, and 1 got up and turned it out
again. IL was lighted again. / went
back and turned it out and kept my hands
on the lamp for a long time. AS long as
my hands remained on the lamp the room
was in darkness. AS | toOK my hands
away distinctly saw a brown hand turn
up the lamp and the room was lightagain
But the spirit of mischief was in me
that night. AS said, Nine. Blavatsky
was apparently sleeping. ] called to her
loudly. There was no answer. [ called
again and again. Suddenly she screamed
cut as if in great anguish: "Oh, Countess,
you have nearly killed me!'' ran to her
bedside and found her heart palpitating
violently She said: You have nearly
killed me by calling me back into nv
body so suddenly She made me promise
that would never again awake her sud
denly, and never did. Nine. Blavatsky
was weak and frail. Many people say it
was strange that she could heal other
persons and did not heal herself The
reason for it was this When a person

over which they obtain power for the ben

selfish. They may cure others, but not
themselves. have seen her heal many
persons brought to her in great pain. l
have seen insane persons about to be sent
away TO asylums brought to her, and 1
have seen them cured by her. / once saw
her cure young girl who had nursed her
The girl was suffering from the grip. She
told her to lie down beside her and she
would cure her. The girl did so, and in
a few minutes she arose perfectly cured"

strings that is always afraid of getting
wet, and Is always getting in near the
beach. She labors with that Willful head,
and adjusts IL in many ways. before you
ever catch glimpse of her. First, she
knots IL tightly beneath her cap, and
then decides that she looks frightfully
severe Then she lets it all flow loosely
out, and brushes a soft gloss upon it. II
looks pretty that way, but she thinks
ruefully of how quickly the water will
transform 1t into thin, ugly little ends.
50 It's finally put in braid and knotted
high on her head. with all loose crimps
and curls pinned neatly back, so they
won't fall in limp ends over her face.
And that is really the best thing she
can DO.
Or Of your girls with glorious tresses
is making a stir at Bar Harbor. Her hair
hoals magniicently about and curls up
fresh with every dip into the waves.
When she steps forth for a morning bath
there's a little whisper of stays: but
that's unkind, in spite of the fact that
her figure does present a suspiciously
trim look. 1t must be the wide belt that
gives the effect AbO e a broad, full
effect is given by the loose blouse and the
round shoulder rulle. Then the belt

skirt stops Just above the trousers and

AprOpos of the dropping and floating
notion Of the summer costume, let me de-
scribe TO you true Partisan gown that
appeared at select garden party this
week. The silk-for that was the mate
rial-was woven in peculiar com bination
OF soft peach and corn color, and the
effect was most beautiful. The simple,
full skirt was of the silk; but there were
long, loose draperies of white lace, falling
from each hip. The silk of the bodice
was covered with rich yellow lace; and
from each side of the bust fell shorter
lace draperies in white. caught at the top
by velvet bow. The shade of the ribbon
was deep pinkish vellowish red if you
can conceive the shade-a happy sugges-
tion of the peach and corn, with bright
ening of both. The short elbow sleeves
were of plain corn silk, and the white hat
was trimmed with more velvet bows.
Everybody that makes a gown this
month makes it with view 10 the future.
Il want something simple and unobtru-
sive, something that win not be likely to
look out of place next spring" was the
order given for gown this week, and |
thought the dressmaker did very well
She turned out a skirt that had a band of
delicate embroidery, set in above the
hem. The dress was 4 faint old rose
chambray, and the silk beneath the en-
broidery was of a trihe brighter tint.
The bodice was after the same manner.

A band of narrower embroidery set in
below the plain yoke; shoulder bretelles
showing the same open band. and a pink
silk sash that knotted at the side and fell
in simple fringes
How the bathing girl concocts schemes
TO make herself look irresistibel She
knows that she looks perfectly charming
when she starts out, ana before the water
has splashed over her. But once let her
get beneath those great waves, and she
comes up looking somewhat forlorn. no
matter how aunty her costume. But we
must except the girl who is 50 fortunate
as 10 possess hair that curls up all ABOUT
her head as soon as the water touches il.
That girl need spend but little thought
upon her suit. for she can well afford to
keep IL under water, and let only her curl
ing locks appear, while she floats and
swims In perfect freedom. 1t is the girl
whose hair falls about her in ugly

ing yokes for coming brides. The pale
SILK shirts now in favor have pretty Gro
cheted yokes inserted, made of wheel and
open-work designs. And each girl has
started one for her own particular dear
friend. Most of them are in two shades,
PINK and white, violet and white, and so

stitch, and are enthusiastic over the
small wheels but dear me it
takes so long, you know, TO make one

brides may be induced to set their dates
