Although known only as Mme. de Thebes for years, her real name was Anna Victorine Sav- igny. Her most recent prediction of note, and one that added much to her rep- utation, was that contained in her published in January, 1914, 1In that she said that a Bu ropean war would break out about the middle of 1914, and that it would be preceded by a sensational trial. Tn addition, she said that the Popa | would die soon after the outbreak of hostilities and that the Germany would closely approach Parls, Il would be unable to take the city. If Mme de Thebes had stopped with predictions, Ther reputation been greatly enhanced she further predicted tha the German emperor would be killed on Sept. 27, 1914: that the French would enter Germany on Oct. 29, and that the war would end on Nov. 7 of the same year. Later she was reported to have re- canted several of the erroneous pre- dictions and then issued a general summary of what would happen to the various European nations. Ger- many, she said, would cave in through internal troubles and the pressure of her enemies from with- out, and that the Ilohenzollern dy- nasty would end. England, she said, would play the supreme part in the war, which has saved her from her own internal troubles. Continuing, she predicted the end of the Turk in Furope, the Slav world would ad- vance, and that Italy would play a considerable part in the war and is called to a prodigious future if she is true to Latin d 28 Mme. de Thebes s ecy that the United States, “wher people leaned so much ‘on Berlin will undergo many changes.

In the eyes of thousands of French people and of many others all over the world, she was considered to be an infallible seer, gifted with occult powers. Years ago she became cele- hrated when she correctly predicted the death of General Boulanger, and her reputation was further increased by the prediction concerning the au- thor, Catulle Mendes. Her Pari home was always crowded by those, many of them of high standing, who wished her to read their future and her almanac and writings sold by thousands. Two of her most widely known publications were “The Enig- ma of the Hand” and “The Enigma of the Dream. ENGAGEMENT ANNOUNCED. The engagement has been an- nounced of John J.
