London. April 2s.--Ghosts are get
ting tired OF wearing Just fiiny drap-
cries. which they find are too none
descript TO enable them Co be rccOg-
nized easily by the former friends
and relatives To whom they appear
and they are taking. instead. Ia sure
enough clothes such az they used To-
wear ON earth. Incidentally ghosts
sleep. Perhaps YOU oldn't know that.
Both OF these two statements are
made ON the authority OF Marvin
Hume. vino II one OF the leading au-
thoritles In this country on affairs
Va the spirit world. Hume. isn't
member OF "Julias Bureau" the Ia
nous psychic institute that was start
cd by the late w. r. Stead. and claims
still TO be receiving messages to the
official organ OF the English spirits
the international Rsychic Gazette,
and II was at the offices OF that
breezy periodical In Bridewell place.
that he saw the writer yesterday In
response 10 request for some de-
tails regarding his psychic expert
enccs.
Hume. who looks rather ghostly
himself. says that he has seen no end
OF spooks. including his own.-and
that Of all those he has encountered
and communed with recently, only
one wore the traditional fiimy cloudy
transparent drapery.

Still. Of course. the fabrication OF
any sort OF clothes, even ghostly ones,

bother, according "a Hume. that
spJoks originally attlred themselves
IN draperics only. "They are human"
said he, land such Is the way of hu-
manlty; also from time lmmomorial
the PROPER clothing for ghosts has al
ways been sort of white fllmy

" seems however. that the ghosts
found that they were not recognized
by the Old friends ana kinsmen whom
they haunted Hume SAYS that though
walking and waiting are quite cor
rect things Tor ghosts Go do. they are
not sufficiently evidentlal for identl-
fication ne the wrcathcs OF departed
friends. GLOW" he asks. ARE We TO

assume clothing made out OF the
