White Velvet Dresses.

One of the most extravagant fash

present rage for pure white velvet,
for afternoon dresses. These delicate
gowns are worn in carriages and, very
largely, for visits and receptions and
almost always they are trimmed with
bands Of costly fur. White velvet, for
any but evening dresses, is a terribly
extravagant fashion, but no one could
deny that 1t is fascinating.

China showed great curiosity as to the
dance customs of Europe and failed
to see how any pleasure could be
found in such an occupation. She had
been told that even old women with
white hair were to be found at balls.
"Her majesty said." the princess
writes, 1 would like to see how you
jump; can you show me little?'
went in search of my sister and found
her busy talking to the young en-
press. | told her that her majesty
wished to see how people dance. and
that we must show her. The young
empress and all the court ladies heard
this and all said that they also wished
TO see. My sister said that she had
noticed a large gramophone in her
majesty's bedroom and that perhaps
we could find some music. | thought
that was a good idea and went to ask
her for the gramophone. She said:
oh, must you jump with music?

that and told her it was much nicer

higher order. for they have in them
something vital and a kind of mental
ity.
My experiments made during many
years with spiritualism and its mani
festations have shown me that these
psychic forces are worthy of being
embraced within the scope Of scien-
tific analysis. At present they have
been as little studied as in the time of
Ptolemy and have not yet found their

selves on our notice and cry out to

when we remember that the earth

nine crystalline shells. Magnetism

The members come together every

which was placed under the protec-
ton of St Louis. The president
opened the seance with an invocation
Of the good spirits. 1t was admitted
as a principle that invisible spirits
were present there and tried to ap-
peal to US. A certain number OF
people were selected They were
seated at large table and were told
to abandon themselves to the spirits
in the room and to write: these were
called mediums. Several years later
my illustrious friend, Victorien Sar-
