saw him hiding in the back part Of the
hall. He frightened me by chasing me
through the house with revolver In his
hand.
Another time he wanted me to drink
something from a vial which believe was
poison. and he made himself so offensive
that finally was compelled to call a po-
liceman to have him locked up. because
thought he was crazy"

houses, the largest taking place at the
residence of Mrs. William Perry, in East
Fifty-sixth street, when there were many
interesting addresses made.
The people present claim they were lifted
from higher plane than the one where
on humanity as a rule walks. At the meet
ing three or four women spoke and spoke
well. DIR. Abbott and DR.. Rainsford are
credited with having made most stirring
speeches. What they said cannot be d.

PROBLEMS IN SOCIETY.
Washington Social Circles Find That

Washington. Feb Now that the
social season IS In full swing the
hostesses of Washington are beginning to
experience some Of their old difficulties.
which are new to the late comers, but
trying, nevertheless. When they send out
invitations there Is perfect influx of
cards and notes soliciting invitations for
friends or visitors. or requests from the un-
invited. All these must be answered. and
reasons given why the request cannot be
complied with. When dance or cotillon
Is given there is another difficulty. Every
one wants to dance. Matrons who have
been married twenty years and over don't
see why they cannot usurp the places on
the floor of young girls who are entitled
to them, and so the story goes The only
way is to divide the visiting list, and this
makes trouble, too.

HYPN0TISM BY MACHINERY.
Inventor Claims That Most People by
His Contrivancc Can BE Put
Into n Trance.

New York. Feb. 1.-THE newest thing in
hypnotism is the hypnotic machine. Its
inventor says that by means of the hyp-
motto machine 80 per cent of all persons
tested can be put in the trance state. He
Is prepared to do with the hypnotic ma
chine what has before been declared i'm
possible-hypnotize the insane.
The instrument is a recent invention OF
DR.. Carleton Simon, the foremost hypnot-
ist of New York. DIR. Simon's hypnotic
machine is an electrical apparatus mount
ed upon a small wooden box within which
there are small batteries. An oblons
plate made up of small mirrors of various
shapes and set at different angles is the
distinctive feature of the invention. The
plate Is eight inches in length by two
wide, and makes 1900 revolutions in a
minute.
The effect of watching the revolving
plate IS that the sight is first daZzled
then fascinated. In two minutes the mnd
is concentrated upon the center of the re-
volving plate. In eight or ten minutes the
subject is in the passive state known as
hypnotic sleep, and the mind Is open to
the suggestions of the hypnotist at the
machine. and the muscles are obedient to
his voice.

How Celebrated Authore.se. Dress.

Miss Braddon is well known as a
careless dresser. She garbs herself as
she wishes, without considering pub
lie opinion. Her gowns are therefore,
often old-fashioned in style, and leave
much to be desired in beauty of color.
Miss Braddon still wears the long drop
earrings in vogue five and twenty
years ago. Miss de la Rance, known
to fame as "Ouida," is also eccentric
in dress. She favors light colors,
quite out OF harmony with her age
and appearance generally. Her face
is not innocent Of powder, and her
hair is arranged in a curly mass with
roibbon on it. Miss Marie Corelli af-
fects a simple, girlist style, and gen
orally wears pretty frocks of white,
