SURE SCIENTISTS
BELIEVE In ELVES
Mrs. Welton Says Now
Even Newspapers Regard
Fairies Seriously.

Fairies not as a pretty poetic con-
ception but rs a scientific fact, fairies
OF assorted ages, habits and habitats
were the topics Of serious consideration
last night AT the Theosophical Head
quarters. 1929 Broadway, where Mrs.
Emile Is. Welton discussed. and threw
upon the screen, The Hidden Things
of Life" especially sylphs
Not only children and poets, but
scientists and other men Of letters are
to-day convinced of the existence OF
fairies" she said. Modern day news
papers give whole pages TO the sub
Jcct. Until a year or two ago few per
sons treated IL seriously"
The chances are that you have not
only one but whole swarm of little
fairies in your home, VINO would reveal
themselves 20 your mundane eye, but
for your lack of intelligence. The kind
Of fairies they are depends upon where
you live.
A now variety Of black and white
fairy has been discovered in the Da-
kotas, and the sprte most commonly
come upon in California is white and
gold, something like the Shasta daisy
in coloring. With diagram Mrs. Vel
ton traced the whole family tree OF the
fairy. showing just where the deys
scientific term for sprite) merges into
the human branch.
There are five main branches Of fairy
life, which 90 upward from the lowest
form If sprites 70 the deva, and form
thence TO the Dhyan-Chochan. When
you get that far. IT doesn't much mat
ter whether you started life as man
or an elf, except that in the latter case
YOU no doubt had pleasanter time.
For the fairies, scientists tell US, come
into the world full grown and escape
all disease.
"The average sylph is as intelligent
a. man. but does not have SO per
manent an individuality" Mrs. Welton
explained. Sometimes fairies are
mischieyous. Many OF the tricks Of
modern day jugglers would be impossi-
bic except for their aid"
a certain type OF nature fairy, called
the color kin. has for it's summer work
the task of painting fruit, a thing not
approved by the New York police laws,
but perfectly sanitary when done by
expert sprites.
The meeting was finally thrown open
10 skeptIcs, who were given the priv
ilege Of asking the speaker all the
questions they liked, j. testing the
existence Of the fairy.
where do the fairies get the color
they uso In painting fruits ," was one
query. % which Mrs. Welton responded
that 1t probably came from the sun.
