PASSION POETS
SPIRIT SPEAKS
Pshchic Gets Message That Ella
Wheeler Wilcox Has Been Re-
united With Her "Prince."

NEW YORK, Nov. -ls--il is icPoi u
ed here that within two days after
her death the spirit of Ella Wheeler
Wilcox. the poet and psychic, was in
direct communication with woman
friend living in Brooklyn.
While this might be surprising to
some, the announcement Ia not sur
prfsing 10 occultists. Mrs. Wilcox
for several years had claimed to be
in communication with the spirit Of
her husband. Robert wilcox.
The name of the Brooklyn woman
who received the communication
from Mrs. Wilcox is withheld, but the
circumstances of the communication
are such as to convince oecultists of
the genuineness OF the phenomenon.
For purposes of publicity the Brook
lyn woman signs "A Progressive
Thinker" to a letter in which she
details the experience.
"A Progressive Thinker
The letter from "A Progressive
Thinker" was called forth by another
letter in which the writer expressed
the belief that Robert Wilcox and his
wife, who had spent an almost per-
feet life together for thirty-two
years, had been reunited in life after
death. The writer of the first letter
said Mrs. Wilcox had no real all
ment at the time of her death and
had merely gone on in response to
the summons of her husband"
The message received from Mrs.
Wilcox is not made public in its en-
tirety. but like all ''hrst messages
II expressed happiness.

Two days later. Saturday. Novem-

fned, truly honorable and spiritual
