81 saw Mrs Eddy on Good Friday,
said Mrs, O'Brien, "and talked with
her for ten minutes. [ may say that
Mrs. Eddy did most of the talking
Nv questions, or most of them, were
nrepared beforehand, and these Mrs.
Eddy answered / did not refer to the
suits in equity, for that was not the

| she.
"I went to Pleasant View in the
morning Of Friday. [ have been there
before, you know. 1t was the hftf
interview I have Ind with Mrs. Eddy
in the past two years.
Is No House of Mystery.
.'Pleasant View to me is no house
Of mystery as it has been called
Things there to me are quite the same
as Mt my own grandmother s house
or course, many more important things
are considered at Pleasant View thar
would be at the house of other ole
ladies. But, all in all, the place Il
one of tranquility and calm, and
always enjoy going there.
Gas I was saying, / called at Pleas
ant View and saw Mr.. Frye, will
whom l am we'll acquainted. ! saw
the others, too, and explained to then
what I had come for. They thought i
unlikely that Mrs. Eddy would see me
but ! wrote out what / wanted anC
left it, asking that it be given to Mrs
Eddy and saying that | would return
While l was in the library talking
to Mr.. Frye, Mrs. Sargent came in ant
asked that we withdraw to the office
as Mrs. Eddy wanted to look at SOM
books in the room where we were. We
of course, complied with the request.
Called by Mrs. Eddy.
s'I went away soon afterward ant
came back at 2:30. There seemed thel
be able to see Mrs. Eddy, but while
was talking with Mr.. Frye and MI
Kinter, who is visiting there, bel
was rung, summoning Mr.. Wilson. In
minute or so Mr.. Wilson came in ant
told me that Mrs. Eddy wished to Sc
ME. Mrs. Eddy had had dinner an,
been out to drive.
81 went upstairs to the room wher
Mrs, Eddy does her writing and as
entered she was seated at desk an
parently engaged in work. She wa
looking down as I entered, and upol
seeing me, got up, came over to IN
and placing her arm on my shouldc
led me over to the bay window.
''The window commands beautiful
view, and In fact the house is beauti
fully located. Throughout the inter
view, the nature of which you must no
expect me to disclose, Mrs. Eddy stood
1t lasted ten minutes. When it wa
"Was anybody else in the room a
the time?" was asked Mrs. o 'Brien.
"No," was the reply, eve wer
alone. Mrs. Eddy spoke Of her confid
ence In her belief that the world woul
do her full Justice. That referred l.
the questions l had asked her concern
ing certain statements which have bee
published about her life.
Seemed Cheerful and Well.
"To me she appeared cheerful, wei
age. During the conversation sh
smiled. but all that she said was seri
Gus. To me she is temperamenta
woman, a. spiritual woman. She seemed
alert and as strong as when / first saw
her.
In my opinion, now that YOU asl
IT., she lives in an atmosphere of beau

The attitude of those about her is affec

rules the house, L am sure, with lovinj
