CHICAGO. Dec. g. The spirit Of an
ancient Egyptian artist of the Ramescs
period is at work in Chicago and is
producing a vast output of fantastic
pictures and hieroglyphics through the
hands of Mrs. Emma Mabel Field. At
least such is the theory of many spirit
ualists, while other persons contend
that her work is the result Of sub-con-
scious thought. Mrs. Field herself is
neutral as between the opposing
schools of thought
Il just have to draw She explained.
81 can't tell why, yet"
The ouija board has nothing to do
with it. Sometimes Mrs Field does
use a board, but it is merely a drawing
board, and has no other relation to the
ia.
For ten years Mrs. Field has been
drawing strange, Fantastic pictures of
Egyptian figures, symbols and scenes.
She began this work when she was
thirty years old and with no prepara-
ton. lgnorant Of both art and mythol-
ogy, with no conception of draftsman-
snip and utterly devoid Of any knowl-
edge OF Egyptian decoration and sym
bolism, Mrs Field says she began sud
denly in 1910 to turn out fascinating
pictures.
Hand Moves MeaninglessIy
She worked with soft lead pencil
on sheets from two to four feet square
The pencil moved almost by itself in
her hand, while she retained full con
sciousness. She says her hand seemed
to move meaninglessly across the card
