Takes Up Spiriitualism

New York, Feb. 1S.-Mrs. En-

poltan opera star, today an
nounced that she was interested in
spiritualisn, and had enrolled in

people who had been attending va

I see somebody asleep, and there
is a chapel and a priest and nun.
I also see cross. Don't worry"
Mrs. Caruso interpreted this to
mean the chapel where her hus-
band rests in Naples. 1t is being
cared for by members of a
religious order and the cross is the
small cross Of her rosary which she
placed upon her husbands body.
Il am not seeking any message
from the dead" she explained, "but:
I have become tremendously in
terested in the subject in purely an
impersonal manner"
Then she told of once witnessing
"a remarkable exhibition" by a
young man, whom she described
as rather sickly youth who gave
one a peculiarly weird feeling"
compounded partly of interest and
partly of repugnance. He sat up
right in a chair, she said, and when
approaching trance his eyes
rolled backward in their sockets,
his body became rigid and ierky
and he talked in the Choctaw
