years. Her mind is clear ana enc, eetic. narveilously alert and detcatey attuned. Her eyes are raoian1 nsr voice like a bell. In a word, Mrs. Eddy seems to have reached an ad- iustment between her physical ana spiritual powers which promises 10 carry her existence through many years to come.
 "There is no great palace at Pleas ant View such as is the vatican at Rome: no house with its hundreds of corridors. its doors opening upon doors. its every passageway guarded with soldiers. to insure quiet and sanc- tity from intrusion; there Is no walled garden extending for miles in which one may walk alone with nature and God and sheltered from. the prying eye of vulgar curiosity. There is only a simple cottage home set in a few acres of unfenced ground. A ring of the front door bell means that every member of the house Is disturbed. and the entrance of a visitor into the cot tage hallway means an actual intru- sion upon a family whose chief mem- Der is the most influential woman liv- ing in the world today" Miss Wilbur quotes Mrs. Eddy as having said to her. among other things:
 T would that. could satisfy every one who wishes to see me. would that I could entertain them all, take them all to my heart. But I cannot do it. I can only say to those who l cherish this ambition. Look on Truth and forget my personality All that ask of the world is time" Speaking of the conclusion of her audience with Mrs. Eddy. Miss Wilbur says:
 T lifted Mrs. Eddy's delicate hand | to my lips and bowed in assent to her k@ IxA Ns.An view. She touched my forehead with her fingers and lifted her hand as though to bless me as I withdrew from the room. My last glimpse of her was | as she stood there, erect as youth, dominating In expression yet gentle. fower-like and very lovable. Her last gesture was Q wave of her uplifted hand"
 Miss Wilbur quotes Mrs. Sargent, | on for many years. as having told her the following interesting story about Mrs. Eddys daily life:
 Mrs. Eddy Is an early riser," she said. She has all her meals with great punctuality, coming down stairs for most of them. She Is not faddish about her food in any way, has never given up the eating of meat. nor in any way does she show a peculiariity about what she takes for nourishment, though of course she has always been very moderate in her appetite. She would like to take more exercise than | she does, but there is little seclusion for us in these grounds. as you can | see. She can walk here on the veranda and she takes her daily ride. which Is always an hour in length. She loves order and regularity 1 above all things, and she likes to have l the household affairs move with pre- cision. She also likes to have a family around her, as you see. She sometimes throws aside all other work and writes
 poetry Her writing Is excellent, and
 she punctuates each sentence with l great care.
 l she takes a personal interest in her
 daily mall, which is voluminous. She | answers great many letters entirely | in her own writing, writing rapidly and apparently without effort; but large
 number of letters are disposed of by Idietation to her secretaries.
 She superintends all tho business | which is carried on here, supervising all business of her secretaries. Some
 times she spends long periods in con- | temptation and she likes to look across
 the river there to Bow Hill, where she
 was born. She told member of the
 household the other day that she knew
 every bit of that territory over there,
 and that she could see seven counties | from her window.
 Our life here is very simple, though quite busy. But 1t is life consecrated | to Gcd, and every day seems to brin 2
 renewed blessing from association l with this beautiful life of Mrs Eddy.
 She is always gentle, always self -efrac- l Ing, and only interested in the living | of holy life. We who are spending our days at Pleasant View have the
 opportunity of growing wonderfully in
