Among all the cases of spirit
photography which have been as
certainly authenticated as such mat.
ters can be, none is more interest
ing than the recent so-called "Twec-
dale Case"
By the expression "as certainly
authenticated as such matters can
be-" / mean that the facts have been
established, that purposeful fraud
has been eliminated, the chances of
accident reduced to minimum and
the facts explainable in no other
way than the action or presence OF
some spirit" or supernatural" in
dividuality.
The photograph was taken, in this
instance, by Rev Charles L. Twee-
dale. vicar of Weston, Yorkshire,
England. in his own home. with his
own plate and camera. His wife,
who is clairvoyant, saw, first of all.
a form standing behind the dining
table, and described it to her hus-
band. Rushing into the next room,
he procured his camera and photo
graphed the spot which his wife
said the phanton's head occupied.
Affidavit Supports Story.

faint and somewhat curious misty
and Jagged head was found upon
it. Writing of the experience. Rev.
Tweedale said:
1T has been my privilege and
good fortune recently to have an ex-
perience which has scientifically
proven the reality of clairvoyance.

following particulars. set forth in
the form of an affidavit recently at

dale, the son, of Charles Lakeman
Tweedale, both of Weston vicarage,
aforesaid, jointly and severally make
oath and say as follows:
Beholds the Figure.
Firstly. I, the said Margaret
Eleanor Tweedale, for myself say
that on the Goth of December, 1915,
about 80 in the afternoon, my hus-
band, my son, and myself, were at
lunch in the morning room, when
suddenly saw the apparition of 4
man, with = full head of hair, and
beard, standing on the left hand
side of my son, and in close prox-
unity to the piano in the said room
l Immediately cried out to my hus-
band and my son that the figure
was 50 standing. I directed their
attention to the figure, but they
could not see it. My husband hasti-
ly left the room and brought in his
camera, and took a photograph of
the position where l still saw the
semblance of man. l produced
the exhibit marked A. which is a
true copy of the negative taken by
my husband, showing the figure Of
the bearded man.

Secondly. /, the said Charles
Lakeman Tweedale, for myself say
that on the Goth of December, 1915,
| was present in the morning room
of Weston vicarage along with my
wife and son, Herschel, and that my
wife drew my attention to a figure
which she saw in the room standing
by my sons side, and although l
could not distinguish it / immediate
ly brought in my camera and took a
photograph of the position where
my wife still adhered that she saw
the figure. The photograph marked
as the exhibit A was a true copy
of the resulting negative. l swear
that the negative, which l person.
ally developed. was in no way tam
pered with, nor did the plate leave
my possession until it was de-
veloped.
Thirdly. I, Herschel Burnett
Tweedale. for myself say that | was
present in the morning room at
Weston vicarage aforesaid, on the
10th December, 1915, about l.30 o.

my fathers and my attention to the
hgure OF a man, which she saw

standing on my 1eft-hand side. Along
with my father | was unable to see
the figure which my mother said
she saw. My father Immediately
left the room and brought in his
camera and exposed plate on the
position occupied by the figure as
seen by my mother. The exhibit
marked a was true copy of the
resulting negative. No other person
was present in the room during the
time the picture was taken, except
our three selves-Charles Lakeman
Tweedale, Margaret E. Tweedale,
Herschel B. Tweedale.

my wife described the man as a
little man, and said that the top of
his head appeared to be about on a
level with my sons shoulder. She
saw the figure more during the time

Defenders OF American woman-
hood have focked to the standard
in answer to the question, "Arc
Women Slipping?"
But the majority OF answers from
readers Of The Bee continue to car
~. the general admission that there
is~a tendency among the modern
feminine sex to slip away from the
old standards of refinement, when
it was difficult matter for men to
break down the outer portals OF
her" inner self
Now, however, woman invites ia
miliarity, the majority of readers
believe. But they contend that this
new action on the part of the feml-
nine sex may be turned to either
good or evil, depending upon the in
dividuals concerned.

locks remarkable sex drama.
Tiger! Tigerw which will be seen
at the Brandeis this week, has
opinions quite as convincing as
Meredith who long ago avowed
civilized man can't live without
cooks"
I'm choosing a cook as the hero
Of his piece" the star of the play
said recently. "the playwright chose
the primitive woman, and the
kitchen Of today comes nearer be-
ing the background OF such a type
than any place in the modern home.
In fact 1t seems to me that the
kitchen is, now the one and only
place in the home where woman is
absolutely and always her true self.
There she reverts to type and one
sees her as she is without any of
the externals that mean so much
to a woman--only because she
thinks they mean so much to a
man.
THE kitchen in house it seems
to me. is somehow its heart-its
throbbing, beating center Of activity.
We can live without drawing rooms
and Libraries, without boudoirs and
dressing rooms, even at pinch we
can make-shift somehow for bed
room. but there must be kitchen
if it is to be home.
There never was real woman"
Frances Starr continued. who
wasn't at heart cook. 1t is the
woman nature to wish to minister
to man, and food in this life is
the first necessity to mans happi-
ness and well being.
Again if Sally had been
stenographer, or say bookkeeper,
the play could never have hap
pened. Knoblock knew his types.
He knew the appeal that the
healthy and splendid vitality Of the
country girl made to the blase man
of the town. He was sick of
mentality. Fed up on theories. and
consequently a victim marked for
the first all feminine primitive wom-
an who crossed his path-and Of
course the affair was all the more
inevitable when the man in the case
met her in the spring moonlight,
near where lilacs were in bloom.
