bility has ended her youthful career in a
manner which has caused a sympathetic
udo Of popular Indignation TO engulf that
particular class Of scientists known as
splritudlis-s and hypnOtists.
The latest victim of this fanatical doc
trine Is no less a person than The much
talked OF Countess Milewska Of Warsaw,
Poland who was until "a few years ago
one Of the most popular social leaders Of
the Polish court. She was enormously
wealthy and by the power of this wealth
ana her ACKNOWLEDGED beauty and tho
fact that she was the widow Of Count
Rudolph Mnowska. the sweet faced lit
tie woman became one Of the best known
social stars In all Poland.
The home Of Countess Milewska was
at al times center Of music, literature
and art. II was there that the select
gatherings were held and for an aspiring
genius not 20 have the cntree 10 this
house. was a sufficient guarantee for his
non-success. The dainty little countess
set the pace socially for others to follow,
but despite this fact. she did not arouse
the element of jealousy which generally
cnvclops social leaders of note and dis
tiuCtion.

Afllewska To be sure she did not take
into consideration the series OF deceptions
which were practiced upon her. but with
eyes blinded by the adulation OF her new
friends the unfortunate woman deliber-
ately continued the pastime which event

Upon the Investigations conducted ny

countess was taken III with cancer oil

was with her continually, persuaded the
countess 10 place her faith in the power
Of spiritualism and thus overcome the
pain incident 10 a surgical operation IN

To this the countess agreed. She would
not send for a physician neither would
she take any treatment whatsoever which
might tend 10 ameliorate the awful pain
which she was forced 10 endure daily.
Madame Solkovitch actually made the
suffering woman believe that she was not
