BY J. p. GLASS.

1t was at a dinner in London that
Mrs. Harriet Stanton Blatch told the
story of the strange psychic expert
ence Of her mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Cady
Stanton, the celebrated leader in the
woman's suffrage movement and the
movement for the reform of laws re-
lating to women.
Mrs. Stanton was herself present.
There were other distinguished guests
including Sir Henry Lucy. the famous
Toby, M. p" of Punch. Lucy was
interested In supernormal phenomena,
and during the dinner related several
instances. 1t was this that inspired
Mrs. Batch to tell of her mothers ex-
perience.
Mrs. Stanton was not a skeptic in
psychic matters, as the following entry
in her diary indicates:
Adelaide johnson has just dined
with us and told of haunted house III
which she lives, staying bravely alone
there at night, seeing visions and hear
Ing strange sounds. do not ridicule
these stories, for In my own life have
had several marvellous experiences.
But l attribute all these strange phe-
nomena to some natural laws which VIC
do not understand, and may never un-
derstand."
However, she was not accustomed to
telling Of her experiences. On the pres
ent occasion she was considerably en-

Afterward she spoke to her about IL.
explaining that there were Sufficient
isms attached to her name without
adding spiritiSm or the like"
Mrs. Blatch's story, which undoubtsd-
ly was one OF the most startling of the
evening. ran something like this:
Mrs. Stanton had arrived in Spring
field, ILL.,, where the Legislature was in
session. On going to hotel where she
had stopped on previous visits, she was
told the house was full
But, If you can wait half an hour -
said the clerk, observing the distress IL

you. 1t isn't good room, but under
present conditions it is the best I can
give you"
Weary from train ride, Mrs. STAN
ton assented. After a wait she was
taken to a small, plainly furnishe d
room on the sixth floor.
She went to bed early and fell sound
ly asleep. But suddenly she was awak-
ened. She had had the sensation of a
hand softly touching her face, and In
her ears was the sound OF q voice cry
ing heart-rendingly, "Oh, Mother
Mother!"
Though greatly startled, she felt that
she had been dreaming. She composed
herself and fell asleep again.
Once more the hand stroked her face
Once more the voice cried. ooh

startled to attempt more slumber. Aris-
ing, she put on some clothing, lit a
candle, got out book and sat down to
read until morning came. Nothing
more happened.
AS soon as she heard the servants
astir, she rang the bell. A chamber
maid quickly responded. Mrs. Stanton
related her experiences to the girl.

low the rush and hurry habit! First of
all, 1t is extremely likely to result in in
digestion and dyspepsia. The person
who is always on the run rarely gives
the digestive organs time to perform
their functions. Constipation follows.
The nerves of the whole body are af-
fected. The mood of being all keyed
up with nerves and muscles tense and
rigid is like an enemy within the walls
/ the most dangerous kind of enemy to
health and beauty. Even during the So
called leisure hours the muscles and
nerves are in a state of tension. This
means that thew never get any rest dur
ing the day, nor, very often, during the
night.
There are q great many business
people who have the painful experience
Of feeling exhausted at night, yet too
tired to sleep, and the muscles and
nerves will not relax after a day of
hurrying and rushing, or after a special
strain or excitement. Each of us has
only a certain amount of nervous
energy. This being so, it seems pity
not to save some reserve energy for
emergencies, instead of wasting it and
frittering it away. The best remedy is
to acquire the poised attitude of mind.
It may be difficult at first, but the feel
ing of repose and calm, both physical
and mental. which follows, makes the
effort well worth while. We must mas

Mrs. Polly lived a few doors away on

lived. The two families had been friends
for many years. Their children had
been born about the same time, attend
ed the same schools and grew up to-
gether. One home was as familiar to
them as the other.
But both mothers noticed the same
thing. The children were likely to be
more confidential with the neighbor
mother than with their own All we
can do is to listen and if they tell any
thing that IS very important pass it
along to each other" they agreed.
One afternoon Mrs. Polly called
earlier than usual. She seemed excited
and distressed. After she had fidgeted
about for a while Mrs. Heron said
Whats the trouble? Better tell it and
get it over. Is It anything I can help
with? Better tell me, Mary"
Il just hate to tell you, Kate, but we
promised TO tell each other anything
important that we learned from the
children. Last night when your Jack

February "a, 1S6l.-Mr. Lincoln, after
arriving in this city at an Unexpectedly
early hour yesterday morning, disap-
pointing many persons who had intend
ed to meet him at the railroad depot in
the afternoon, spent today Sunday
very quietly.
This morning, shortly before IL
O'Clock, Mr.. Lincoln and Mr.. Seward
emerged unobtrusively from the Four
tenth street entrance to Wizards Ho-
tel and walked together to st. Johns
Episcopal Church, where Mr.. Seward is
an attendant. They entered the church
so unobtrusively that, even though Mr..
Stewards pew mo. /, near the altar is
conspicuous one. not a dozen persons
in the church we're aware of the pres
ence of the PreSident-elect during the
service. The rector, DR.. Pyne, was quite
unconscious of the fact, and, of course,
his selections for the service had no ref
erence to it.
But to some few persons who were
aware of Mr.. Lincoln'S presence, there
seemed to be considerable appropriate
ness in the Psalm chosen, two lines OF
which were:
And He will needful help afford"
Mr.. Lincoln was dressed in plain
black clothes, with his black whiskers
and hair trimmed. He was pronounced
by such persons as recognized him as
an entirely different man from the
hard-looking pictorial representations of
him that have been seen here.
After the morning service Mr.. Lin
coin spent some hours at the residence
of Mr.. Seward. He returned to Will
lard's Hotel between 4 and o'clock
this afternoon. Tonight he received
Senators Sumner, Wilson and Hale.
Mr.. Lincoln arrived in the city about
daylight yesterday and was driven at
once to Wizards, where Mr.. Seward
was awaiting him. The tall figure of
Uncle Abe" was very conspicuous
among the other train passengers as
they entered the lobby of the hotel He
was accompanied only by two friends,
Mr.. e. J. Allen of New York and Mr..
Lammon.
The President-elect had kept his in
tention of arriving here ahead of sched-
ule entirely secret except from the
secret service men who are guarding
him. This course was adopted because
Of the threats that are alleged to have
been made to assassinate Mr. Lincoln or
prevent him from reaching Washington.

Some of these slips are made from

Then there is a slip made from two
straight lengths of material, with an
inverted box plat at the back, EXTEND

from waist to top taking care of the
extra fullness.
For the slip, select q material that
will be suitable both for the petticat
part and the camisole part Some of
the good quality fine satines are excel
lent, either in dark or light colors An
excellent idea is slip of cotton Saline
with a deep plated ruffle of some sort
of silk. Washable satin is an execel-

of a slip of this material is TO

tie. Wrap a bit Of cotton around an
orange wood stick, dip in this, and rub
the juice around the edges Of the nails
and under them. Then wash of with
soap and warm water.
Or you can get the regular nail
bleaches, which are stronger. You must
not leave these on; use them to bleach
stains, then wash off at once. They are,
and must be, very drying to the cuiticle.
Even lemon juice Is but not so much So
With these other nail bleaches 1t Is best
to use cold cream, and when you get
into that you get into lot of trouble
You need time-what the busy office girl
or houSekeeper lacks. So, for temporary
freshening up of the nails, stick to
lemon juice.
Ammonia is a good bleach, too, espe-
cially for under the nails. And foI
some stains nothing beats tomato Juice
that it's a good idea to keep a small
tube of that sticky white stuff sold as a
bleach to run under the nails. 1t makes
them too white, but 1t bleaches nicely
