GOWNS STARTLE FRENCH
Lady CheyIesmore, Born This Side OF
Atlantic, Better Dressed Than
Parisiennes Themselves


LONDON, Feb. 10. - Lady Cheyles-
more, who was Miss French, made
great sensation in Paris with her
gowns when she and her husband, Lord
Cheylesmore, who is mayor of West
minister, were entertained by the mu-
nicipal council of Paris. American
women who visit Paris are often said
to be even better dressed than the
Parisiennes, and Lady Cheylesmore
was determined to keep up this Amer
lean reputation.
She looked handsome at dinner
given at Volsln's. in a peach-colored
velvet gown. The rage for velvet
gowns, by the way, has affected all
London. At all the recent weddings
one out of three of the guests wore
velvet, the colors chosen being black,
purple and brown.
1t is conceded that velvet forms
splendid Setting" for diamonds, and
the fact that the queen has appeared
several times in velvet recently has ser
the seal on the fashion.

PARIS, Feb. 10.-Fair-haired. blue
eyed, pretty and not yet 81 years of
age, Mile. Louise Bar has further been
endowed by nature with supernatural
powers. When in a trance she secs
through people," in a literal sense; her
minds eye, like q Roentgen ray, per-
ceives the organs of the person under
observation. notes how they perform
their functions and can dectect whether
they are in good working order or not.
Young Mile. Bar has also been gifted
with the power of dvining instantly
the exact process whereby what she
perceives wrong in person can be set
perfectly right.
These remarkable capabilities have
naturally been turned to account by
Mile Bar and her father, who claims
to be a hypnotist, and between them
they have "cured thousands of sur
ferers.' The law stepped in and prose-
cuted them whereupon they had to
obtain the services of a certified med
lcal practitioner, who assisted the
young woman by writing out the pre-
scriptions. Nevertheless, the law has
come down again, this time upon all
three persons.
Wrong on CoIors
NJ Bar and his daughter went to the
courts to prove the young woman's
powers in the presence of the examin-
ing magistrate. A medical expert put
Mile. Bar in a trance, and verified by
the usual experiments that she was in
hypnotic condition. Colors We're set
before her, and she generally mistook
one for the other. This could not dis.
prove her gift of healing power. But
when it came to testing the latter the
medical expert refused. M. Bar senior
was furious, and when Mile. Bar re-
gained her senses she was equally
vexed. She insisted on being put into
second trance and seeing through
the persons present.
Il will see through you, monsieur, the
Judge" she exclaimed. II will and shall
see what is the matter with you and
tell you what to do to get better"
But the magistrate obstinately af-
firmed that he was quite we'll and re-
fused to permit the young woman to try
her powers of transparency on him.
Mile. Bar left the court without prov
ing any of her alleged supernatural
gifts. When she reached the street,
about two dozen former patients, in
Guiding policeman and a gendarme,
shook hands warmly with the clair
voyante, who had cured them of var
ious diseases.

come by the thousands-the blind, and
