the reins of management of her mani

Supervises Every Detail.
Though the reporter did not see Mrs.
Eddy, except as she stepped into her
carriage for her afternoon drive at
O'clock, he was persnitted ~ wisnnsa
the admirable executive force she
displays, not only In the conduct OF
business of great magnitude, but in
the direction OF her household.
Nowhere in the world said Mr..
Dickey. "is there q household where
you will find such precision of man
agement, such attention to the minut-
est details, such attention etaoshrd
est details, such harmony among It's
members, as I'm this one. where ev-
Ierything moves smoothly In accord
with the wishes of Mrs. Eddy herself"
All this was well borne out by what
the reporter saw within the doors or
her home. This was the first time a
newspaper man had been given an
opportunity of inspecting the interior
of this fine mansion high In the Brook
line hills.
A ring at the door. and 8 milling
woman attendant, approaching with
noiseless tread, admitted the caller TO
the vestibuIe. AS his card was taken
to Secretary Dickey, the newspaper
man was shown into the spacious re.
ception room and library at the right
OF the wide hall. which extends clear
through to the rear OF the house.
Above a bell jingled and door was
heard to open and softly close again.
All else was still. This was Mrs. Ed.
dy's signal to call one of her many
assistants, to whom she conveys her
instructions for the carrying out OF
her multiple plans.
Mr.. Diskey entered the library, smil'
ing and with cordial greeting and a
hearty hand clasp. and welcomed the
reported to a seat. A bell was again
heard above.
II believe that Is for me-" said Mr.
Dickey. MRS. Eddy wishes TO see
me. and you will kindly excuse me
for few minutes"
This was I'm the afternoon, after
the drive with Mr.. Frye and the
Coachman Stevenson, and the veneer
able woman was again at her desk
examining correspondence, signing let
tiers and documents and quietly giving
orders with the clockwork precision
and attention TO detail which charac'
