WRITES WHILE ASLEEP
Miss Metcalf Dreams and Develops
Plots as She Slumbers.

Miss Metcalf Dreams and DevelOp.
Plots as She SIumbers.
A writer of stories, who not only dreams
plots but actually writes them out while
sleeping, has been working In Chicago for
several months. She is Miss Euretta d.
Metcalf. and she says her best work is done
when in a state of somnambulism.
Miss Metcalf is young woman. and her
sleep walking dates from her childhood. She
has ridden bicycle in her sleep, but the
most pronounced feats in this line are her
writings. She does not inherit the trait, for
her ancestors were sturdy. hearty individuals.
fond of hard riding to the hounds in the
north of England, who went to bed and slept
dreamlessly.
Fond Of writing from childhood, her sleep
ing actions followed this bent Of her brain.
The plot of the story varies from dark
tragedy to light farce. Most Of her writings
have been short stories, and nearly all OF
them finished in one sitting. Recently Miss
Metcalf has taken up longer work, and Is
in the midst Of long novel, which will be
entitled Her Other Self Every chapter
of this has been written when the author
was in somnambulstic state.
81 have been writing stories in my sleep
for number Of years. she said, "but only
for the last year or so have I tried to find
any sale for them. l have disposed of a
number to syndicate and they were printed
in various papers. I know, that do my best
work when 1 to all 1ntents and purposes
asleep. l seem to write with more force, my
thoughts are more concentrated, and my pen
gets over the paper much faster, for hnd
long stories on my desk in the morning,
which would have taken me several hours to
prepare.
IT do not know that any bad effects follow
my night work, unless it be from loss Of rest.
I have talked with many nerve specialists
about it,. and they have been much inter-
ested. My sleeping work follows much the
same trend as that which I write in the
daytime, only it is better, I think.
when I was in school 1 learned German
and French we'll enough to read and write
the languages. l frequently use scraps of
foreign quotations in my stories. Some
times the plots of stories will come to me in
Dreams and I will awake and remember
them. If I set them down at once I can re-
tain the ideas, but II 1 neglect to do so they
fade away"
Miss Metcalf was born in Kansas City
and moved to Rockford a year before she
came to Chicago. She had brother. who
was reviewer in an Elgn newspaper, and
, he was the only member of the family who
took up writing for profession. He died
short time ago.
Miss Metcalf does not claim clairvoyant
powers, but ascribes her faculty of sleep
writing to development of her other self"
She says that every one has two sides to his
life, but in most persons the one side is but
little known. She takes her characters from
the people she meets every day. and claims
to have an intuition which enables her to
divine their characters and open their
thoughts to her view, in limited sense.
It is her purpose to enter the literary field
in Chicago.

''Other Notes, -

A new book of much interest to Min
neapolis people of literary tastes is a
smallvolume of poems by Mrs. Mary Boole
Hinton, of Washington, for several years
a resident of Minneapolis. The volume,
which Is her first essay in the world Of
books, is a thin one but contains in it's
small compass several real poetical gems.
The poems reveal q true sense Of melody
and a firm technique. There - is much
variety in poetic form, hut the predomi-
mating theme is music in it's many sided
ness. The book is fttingly entitled
"Other Notes." .,.-....-:z ....
Like many novices in book publishing
who are wrapped up in their art to the
exclusion Of more practical things, Mrs.
Hinton has been unfortunate in the dress
given to the beautiful creations of her re-
fined fancy. Although this is a Earring
note, the true lover Of poetry will find so
much that rings true in the small book
that he will forget its unattractive ex-
terror. Several of the poems are reprint
ed from the leading magazines.
The poems reveal nature keenly at
tuned to the beautiful in sight, sound,
emotion and life. These are treated with
loving sympathy and appreciation. A
notable point in an age of haste is the
high degree of finish given to each poem
none of which contains more than fifty
lines.
Mrs. Hinton is woman Of great natural
literary and artistic gifts which have been
cultivated by the associations and circum-
stances of her life. She is sister of the
brilliant author of "The Gadhy" and "Jack
Raymond" Mrs. E. l.: Voynich. The
family is Irish and Mrs. Hinton lived in
Ireland until her fathers death. She
was educated in London and taught there
before her marriage. Several years of
her married life have been spent in Japan,
just previous to the Minneapolis residence
of the family.
Last year Mrs. Hinton gave several de-
lightful lecture courses on her observa-
tions during her travels, on literary top

Mrs. Barnes attended a state convention
for the first time at the Jackson street
church, st. Paul, at which time Mrs.
Mary A. Woodbridge gave the address.
Having been for many years teacher,
trained also in Bible truth, Mrs. Barnes
earnestly desired to be connected with
the W. G. T. u, which emphasized these
plans Of helpfulness and aimed at the
overthrow of the liquor traffic, and soon
after 1888, when Miss Carrie Estey or
ganized a union at Granite Falls, Mrs.
Barnes was made president of Chippewa
county and, later upon the removal Of
Mrs. Heard, was made president of the
district. In medal contest work, in or
ganizing unions, holding conventions, ETC.,
Mrs. Barnes has been an idefatigab1e
worker and her fellow workers testify to
her unfailing cheerfulness and hope re-
garding the work. For her helpers whom
she has so generally visited in their
homes, she has the warmest sympathy,
knowing how their hands are tied by aged
parents, by the care of little children, by
drunken husbands and unreasonable hus-
bands, and her pity for the woes OF in
nocent children encourages her to perse-

development Of many women, whom her
own hands. though in much hesitation and
fear Of her own imperfections, have led.
