bright young Chicago girl, 20 years
OF age, gagged by time, as IL Is known
to latter-day people, was married by
pseudo nineteenth century process
TO Claude Falls Wright, the New York
theosophist in this city. on Sunday,
May g. Immediately after the weird

Quoted by yelled prophet and many
curious incarnations. Mrs. Wright
made her strange assertion about her
long married life with her present nus
band. Two weeks Of welded bliss as
earthly people know it have not altered
the young brides memories of her first
matrimonial venture in Egypt and to-

Memory is merely a matter Of the
association of ideas" she said, ''if ones
mind is trained in the philosophy of oc-
ultism, It is just as easy 10 remember
what took place 5000 years ago as oc-
currences of yesterday.
II remember that first meeting dis
tinctly, and We repeated 1t at our wed

course, there exists no written account
of what took place at that time.

present circle am living out the eff

time.
Speaking Of her present incarnation
Mrs. Wright said: ~ am not so much

Like all theosophists. Mrs. Wright

much nonchalence as an ordinary be
