ed her to familiarity with great scietists,
and made her sought by the thoughtful,
the curious. the inquiring minds of two
continents. She claims to have raised
the subject to scientific plane, and
scorning the conventional and transpar-
ont methods of others, she courts an in

noted friend of the spirits is of slight
build, with small hands and feet, spark
ling blue eyes, blonde hair, and rather
pretty mouth and Grecian nose. She is
vivacious and unaffected in manner. She
is an educated woman in the accepted
sense of the word, her extensive contact
with the world and Ter observations and
