Time after time she performed feats that left her friends astounded. On & visit to Gen. Sir Redvers Bul- ler and his stepdaughter, Dorothy Howard, she was sitting and writing (sutomatically) with her pencil. when some one asked: “Where is Don?” With- out hesitation, the pencil replied, “He is dead.” Lady Mabel then asked, “who 45 Don”" and learned that he was pet dog. His death was not suspected, though he was missing. The next day 4t was learned that he was dead. A little girl in the house, during the same visit asked Lady Mabel who her | Dbest friend was at the school she at- tended in London. Lady Mabel did not know the little girl's friend, but her pencil wrote “Ma This was _true. FPrederic W. H. ers, great psychol- ogist, and one of the most celebrated investigators of pyshic matters, suc- ceeded in getting two answers from Lady Mabel to questions beyond hér knowledge. ‘While a guest at a house where Lady . Mebel was also being entertained, he | was invited to have luncheon at the home of a man whom he knew only through correspondence. This man, his house, his way of living and his friends and associates were completely unknown to Lady Mabel. Coming back from luncheon, Myers asked Lady Mabel, “How many people #at_down to luncheon?” Her pencil immediately wrote the | eorrect reply, “Six.” g “What was the name of the gentle- " man, not my host, with whém I sat |n and talked after luncheon?” pursued Renovation of ‘The homemaker who has feather pillows that require renovating, or that have tickings which need cleansing can do the work herself.

Lady Vane had lost a manuscript book and four searches throughout her home had failed to produce trace of it She now enlisted the ald of Lady Mabel, who wrote, “It is in the locked cupboard |in the bookcase—hidden behind the | books.” | _“Well” commented Lady Vane, “i | that is true it must be in the library, because the bookcases are locked.” | . “No, not in the Mbrary,” wrote Lady | Mabel.

This proved to be the sitting | room, where the book was found in a | folder for newspaper clippings. | _Circumstances in connection with his incident were the following: The manuscript book had been put down by Lady Vane while the house was under repairs, and forgotten; at the time it was lost, Lady Mabel was traveling on ,the continent; at the time she wrote directions for its finding, Lady Vane and Lady Howard were at luncheon on a race course and the writing was done {on a°piece of sandwich paper. The most startling of Lady Mabel's stunts come in connection with a jewel ;obbery that for a time agitated Lon- lon. ‘The robbers, through the activity of the police, were caught after a vigorous chase. Being cornered at Tebay Sta- tion, they surrendered. However, the valuable jewels they had stolen were not found on them.

It is better to teach baby jfrom the very first how to handle the ill"«lflfl with which he has to live ,dlfly. instead of trying to prevent such {bhandling and punishing him when he | does. Mrs. A. M. is going through this ex- perience. or is just about to, with her 11-month-old baby. She wants to know how to keep baby out of things she doesn't want him to touch. “I have a low chair and table and open bookcases in my living room,” she writes, “and if I turn him loose in the room everything has to be fixed so he can't touch it. Despite all his interest- ing toys he always turns to the tables and bookcases when he is down. “I have never given him cod liver ofl, but he has a good coat of tan and is strong and straight-limbed. Shall I do that this Winter? Should water be kept cold, after boiling, to keep it pure? He has been slightly chafed around the buttocks lately and his breath s bad. I think more teeth are coming in." I feel sure, Mrs. A. M., that the leaf- let, to Direct a Small Child's y,” will be of help in directing your management of the child during this period. Then you will be certain that he is learning what you know he must learn and still not damaging ycur | tremsures. A self-addressed, stamped envelope inclosed with the request will bring this leaflet to any reader. You can't keep a baby away from your household goods indefinitely. If you slap, the child learns nothing ex- cept to wait until the slapper is out of the way before delving into the forbid- den places. Patiently and consistently teach him how to handle the objects. Let him take the books and look at them and carefully put them back and then give him his own books which he can handle as he pleases. He very early learns to be careful of all the things which his mother says are hers. We must admit a child's intelligence; we must work with him and not against him to get the right, results.’ ‘The mischievous child, who turns the house upside down when the discipli- narian is out of sight hasn't enough lib- erty of action when the mother 18 around.
