That Dr. Fox is firmly convinced of
ibe powers of these young women Is
ipparent to any one who talks with
him. For some time prior to four years
igo he was Junior physician at the
Manhattan State Hospital For the In
■ane, and he told a reporter for the
New York World the other day that
raa there he first became interested
what Is commonly known as spirltn
llism.
"One of the bead physicians told
me," he said, "of a man in the hoapital
who was undoubtedly a madman in
■any respects, but that he had fore
told the assassination of President Mc
Kinley on the very morning that it oc
curred. He not only gave the hour,
hut described the assassin and the spot
where it was to occur. Of course such
marvelous feat could not be explain
away as an Instance of mental telep
athy. I bad been deeply interested in
hypnotism, and this story made me
more so.
"After leaving the hospital I treated
many of my patients by hypnotic sug
gestion. Of course there are many
physicians who do the same thing
nowadays.
"Certain little phenomena that I have
noticed while administering the treat
ment have tempted me to experiment,
and some of the things I have proved
my own satisfaction I hesitate to
talk about because I fear I will be mis
understood and branded aa a crank or
faker. I venture to say, however,
that I have discovered so called clair
voyant powers in at least 96 per cent
the patients I have experimented
with that simply cannot be accounted
on any ground yet known to scF
ence.

The strange anomaly of wearing furs
and low cut gowns Is now very much
to evidence-furs for the street and low
cut gowns for dancing, opera and cere
nonloua receptions as well as dinners
Just why. ask womankind In general,
for no one else can give a reason
Before I apeak at length on furs let
me say a few words about a reception
pwn and a ball dress for a young
&<!$. The receptiuu gown was of
crepe Be chine, there being one seam
down the front of the skirt and a
couple of shawl drapery folds Just
above the real waist line. To get this
particular form it is necessary to build
the waist directly on the corset. This
allows the skirt to fall from much
higher than would be possible any
other way. And the figure thus seems
to have changed materially. There
was no trimming of any kind upon
the skirt, which fell to a demitrain in
exceedingly graceful lines. There was
a gulmpe. The waist was of the same
material, richly braided with silk sou
tache In the same shade, a rich, warm
brown. The gulmpe was of silk of
the same shade and was drawn In at
the throat by means of narrow folds.
Sleeves of the silk were laid in super
posed folds from the back of the hand
to the shoulder. The back of the waist
was in the form of a bolero Jacket,
the skirt being gathered closely to the
notch in the middle of the back. The
skirt fitted closely around the hips
and fell in ample folds around the feet.
All in all, this is a graceful and ele
gant style.
Sleeves are nearly all close to the
arm, and where it is possible the exact
outline of the arm Is shown by the
close fit. Many sleeves have cuffs,
others have ruffles, and most of them
have caps at the shoulders. Sleeves
may and very often do differ from the
material of the gown. This is a bless
tog to such women as have short
sleeves to dresses that have lasted Into
this winter. By the Judicious addition
of trimming on the waist, to match,
the sleeves may be of any suitable
material. For instance, black cloth
gowns may have silk sleeves, and
gowns for home wear or even for
dressy occasions may be made with
net sleeves. The amount of soutache
braiding is limited only by the space
to be covered. It Is put on closely.
And It is and always was and always
will be rich and handsome.

fingers. Some have but a narrow,
long seam, while others, and they for
outdoors, have three widths.
Now for the new furs, without which
no woman Is happy. There Is a de
cided revival of the Bbort, tight fitting
jacket, with basque. The front is
slightly fulled and the sleeves fulled,
with lapped cuffs held by bone buttons.
The flat collar is so arranged that it
can be transformed to a storm collar.
Aside from the automobile or driving
coats, which are usually of pony or
dog dyed to represent pony and lined
with squirrel skins, the present fancy
is more for handsome neck pieces and
muffs. Some of these muffs are fear
ful in size. Tails and paws, beads
sad fringes made of far to represent
tall, are lavishly used to trim them.

There are fewer flat pieces of close
fur, the fancy being for the thicker
furs. Fox is shown in more varieties

If any one had told Thompson Tbom
*• ato mouths before the general elec

date for office he would have laughed
him to scorn. Thomas was the moat
unassuming man In the world. Small,
bald, nearsighted, with a soft voice
and extreme gentleneaa of manner, he
was especially unfitted tor participa
tion to aa exciting campaign.
On* day a widow. Impecunious and
ambitious, hearing of Mr. Thompson

marry him. There are various ways
of appropriating a man. The widow
chose that of carrying him by storm
When the storm was over Mr. Thomas
was a married man.
The wedding occurred five months
and two weeks before the election. At
the end of a week's honeymoon Mr.
Thomas took up bis paper one morn
ing and read:
There n * movement on foot to plao#

need n practical business man for the po
sition, not a drone.
Mr. Thomas was astounded. Calling
his wife, he showed her the item.
"W*11." she said, "I know I'va married
a drone, but I don't Intend that my
husband shall remain a drone. I have
some ambition. 1 and you are one.
We will work together. I am arrang
ing for your candidacy myself."
"But, my dear"—
"I have the promise of the boss that
you shall have the nomination. All
that is required is your check for $5,
000 for election expenses"—
"Five thousand dollars!"
"Which will be well spent. You
have never taken any stand iu the
town whatever, but the mayoralty
will"—
Mr. Thomas groaned. Then he
showed a bit of figbt-the only fight
he had ever shown lu bis life—but
Mrs. Thomas so out-Heroded Herod
in a war of words that her husband
waa cowed. He did not consent to the
movement his wife had inaugurated
any more than a man commits to be
drowned; he was simply submerged.

considered their franchise as American
citizens. The morning after the nom
ination Mr. Thomas was surprised to
read ln a journal—the mouthpiece of
the party he represented—an Interview
with himself. He was not aware of
having been interviewed and spoke of
bis astonishment to bis wife. She in
formed him that It was a "faked" in
terview for political purposes. Among
other things that had been put into his
mouth, waa this:
"Mr. Thomas, whet are your views con
cerning the trusts r'
"1 consider them unholy alliance# to
grind tht faces of tho poor."
"And how do you stand on tho labor
question T"
"I look upon the laborer as a man and
a brother. If elected. I shall do all ln my
power to advance his Interests at the ex
pense of his employers"
Mr. Thomas was Indignant. "What
pothouse politician put that ln my
mouth 7" be said to his wife. "I would
be an Idiot to 'advance the laborer's
Interest at the expense of his employ
er.' Where would the laborer be if
his employer were degraded?"
"No pothouse politician wrote it, my
dear. I was Informed that your views
would be required, and I put that lu
myself. You must stand well with
the laborer or you will be defeated."
Then came demands for more funds.
Mr. Thomae refused, but one day's bat
tle With his wife was sufficient, and he
gave another check and another and
another till most of his capital was in

was the abuse beeped upon him by the
opposition. When he read the follow

Mr. Thomas
dust about his past? Only a jury of th
countrymen could throw a searchlight
upon that record b* soaks to hid*.
Aa soon a* Thomas could pull himself
together be went to the newspaper of
fice and demanded to see the man who
wrote the article. "You mustn't mind
a little thing Uke that Mr. Thomas,"
said the scribbler, smiling "They say
all's fair In love and war. They forgot
to put 'to politics.' " "But I'll have the
law of you." "Oh, we haven't men
tioned you- Good day, Mr. Thomas.
Hope you'll meet with success."
The morning of the 4th of November
came at last. A president waa elected
with an eclat that diverted attention
from the minor offices. Mr. Thomas,
looking ln his morning paper for bis
record, saw In ooe comer:
