Celie dress herself with so much elegance last night? What Vauquier said is true. Her dress was not suited to a seance. A light-coloured, rustling frock, which would be visible in a dim light, or even in the dark, which would certainly be heard at every movement she made, however lightly she stepped, and a big hat no no!

I can hardly wonder at this, however, for I have never in my life been present at so powerful a séance, and you may comfort yourself with the reflection that Son Altesse has never honored any one with his presence for so long a space of time before.

"I says, 'Well, Doc, some day you'll see how deep in error you are, and I didn't say no more. "Of course Doc wouldn't let well-enough alone. There was a big spiritualist over to Peory, Illinoy, a reg'lar ghost-raisin' feller, and what did Doc do but write over and git him to come to Kilo and give a seance. That is a meetin' where they raise up ghosts.

Speaking now in my own proper person as author, I may mention as I have purposely deferred doing up to this point that a light was subsequently struck at one of Mrs. Holmes's Dark Séances, and that the discoveries thus made rendered the séance a final one. Mr. and Mrs. Holmes retired, first to Brighton, and then to America. Holmes is a genuine medium.

Mahbub slipped from the divan and disappeared behind the curtains, and then the door opened and Señor Silva and Mr. Lester entered. I saw, at once, that there was to be another séance, and that I could not escape, for Señor Silva sat down facing the corner where I was. I could only brace myself against the wall and wait. It was a dreadful ordeal. But it had its reward," she added, with a smile.

Hyacinthe, looking very bored, quietly replied that he had been detained at a seance given by some adepts in the New Magic, in the course of which the soul of St. Theresa had descended from heaven to recite a love sonnet. However, Fonsegue was now coming in with his wife, a tall, thin, silent and generally insignificant woman, whom he seldom took about with him.

Even history can show us that this has always been the case. Yesterday," she continued, "I went to a spiritual séance. I found nothing. I shall go to the next thing of the sort which any one suggests. I am like the hypochondriac with his list of patent medicines. I try them all, but my heart still aches."

I next present a remarkable series of photographs, kindly lent to me by Lady Glenconner, to whom I am indebted for permission to reproduce them. These photographs were taken at the "Crewe Circle," in the presence of Mr. Hope, the medium. Personally, I have never had the opportunity to attend a Crewe séance, and hence cannot speak of the evidential value of these pictures from first-hand evidence.

She has a plain, powerful face, with a lot of grey hair turned off her forehead." "Have you ever seen such a person with Lionel?" asked Miss Farrow. "No, not exactly." "What do you mean, Bubbles?" "I can't quite explain what I mean. Even before the séance I seemed to feel her last night. I suppose you would say I saw her in his mind in what some people would call his inner consciousness."

She has been at a séance; she has broken her promise," sang in perpetual reiteration through his brain. And then came the interpretation. "She has done it because I have left her. I might have told it from her letters. She has done it because she thinks I am not in earnest, that my love-making was just boyishness ... "I knew she would never understand."
