goan who was first attracted to
theosophy about five years ago when
her mother, Mrs Byford Leonard. join
ed the society. The mysterious and i'm
pressive ceremony which united her
with Claude Falls Wright has made
real sensation all over the country.
Mrs. Wright was we'll known in society
when she and Mrs. Leonard lived in a
pretty house in Hibbard avenue Chica-
go, and gave theosophical Thursday
evenings to their friends. She is de-
scribed as pretty girl, "a years old,
slight in build, graceful and willowy in
pose and carriage, and decided blonde.
Her hair is purely golden, her eyes are
Of deep blue, and her expression singu-
larly sweet and sympathetic. Mrs.
Wrights mother was, during her resi-
dence in Chicago, a woman of progress
i've ideas. who worked for reform along
all social lines and who was favOrably
known among the women of her set.
Miss Leonard took up theosophy in an
earnest, eager spirit and began at once
to spread the occult philosophy. Two
years ago she left Chicago for Boston

subjects relating to theosophy. She or

Anecdotes Of Thomas Hughes.

The death of Thomas Hughes has
revived host OF stories illustrative of
the manliness and charm of his
character. The democratic bias shove
itself in boyhOod. At Rugby. when
head of the eleven, he set at naught
the aristocratic exclusiveness of the
place by bringing the country lads into
the school-close to play cricket with
him. At Lincoln's inn he defied the
beadle by opening the gates Of the
fields" and letting in the children Of
the slums. AS special constable in the
Chartist troubles Of 1S4S he was beset
with misgivings that the agitators were
right. But he knew where to draw the
line. At one Of the socialist meetings
in the days Of F. d. Maurice the ma.
tional anthem was started. The revo-
lutionary Chartists began to hiss. Tom
Hughes sprang upon a chair and
threatened the first man who renewed
the insult to the queens name with
personal chastisement. Fear of his
fists stopped the discord.-St. James
Gazette.
