Who Lst.4-t e• as wpUabsped Observer to ma Exhibition ..In Ribw York by Mers. MceAMllter-gpeneer of Her Playing, I lot Pll7 Coevinced of Psychic Iatnamees .. -i. Quaekenboe Co- Wheed. Music lover and• specialists in psy- chic phenomena gathered the other night in the parlors of Dr. John D. Quackenhos, professor in Columbia col- lege, doctor of medicine and lecturer on hypinotism, to: 'itness a private per- eormnnce, tija fl-st in New York, of Mrs. Ellen Mc~i~Ater-Spencer, who ie known to her friends as the "psychic piano player," says the New York Her- alid: - , "1- Mrs. McAllister-Spencer is personally agd ancestrally well known in Chicago aid d'other western cities. She Is tie daughter of the late William=King. Mc Allister, for many years senior judge of the appellate court in Illinois.. Her home is in Raveuswood, Chicago. Ac- cording to the story she told the other night, her father and her mother were both fond of m'ioc and wished that she should be taught in her early youth to play the piano. "I took lessons," she said, "for about three years between the ages of twelve and fifteen years, but my teachicr gave me up as an impossible subject. huithle first place, my biands, _as you :see"--eui she held up a plump and diminutive hand, with very short flngera-"are too small for a piano player's. Fu•rther- more, I could never memorize a piete, and I was not the least bit interested in my studies. So my parents had to accept the teat'her's verdict." - Some twenty years ago the family was living in Waukeegan, Ill. Sp•r•t- ualism was 'beginning to be talked about there. It was a favorite pastime for young people to- sit in a circle around "a table with their hands Upot its surface and concentrate their afte:r tion in the hope of making the table move. The ~able never did movq ~n the McAllister family, but a sister of Mrs. Spencer , suddenly began to move her hands isi,. it she were playing a piano. It.: was suggested that she should setahlierself at the piano and see what she could do. This experimept also was a failure. bauuuenly I expresseu an araent wisa that I could play," said Mrs. Speieer. "I felt a strraige inspiration. My moth- -'ltoaJd in try. I sat down at the te•yboari,; .i4. to the astonishment of pverybody,• any. own especially, any hands flew, over the keys in an xm- provisation. 1 played on for hours, and everything that I played was as new to everybody as it was to me. I felt that I. was impelled by some unseen force within me. Since that time the fit has never left me." "And how do you account for it?" was asked. "Personally I believe that the spirits of masters dead and gone take posses- sion of my mind,, for while I do not play anything that is in. their works I always play in the style of some fa- mous composer." The guests had gathered by this tinge and the performance begun. Professor 'ames :Hyslop of lolumMl college was the master of ceremonies. He came simply 'as an unbiased observer to make up his mind as to the character of Mrs. Spencer's gifts and if they were supranormal to make a report to the International Psychic society, of which he is the most prominent New York member. This was the method employed. Pro- fessor Hyslop whispered in Mrs. Spen- cer's ear the name of some composer whose method she was to follow. She at once dashed into a brillianptperform- ance. Her fingers- moved over the keys with a precision and agility that seemed to bespeak the trained per- former. At the close of every selection the au- dience was called upon to give its ver- dict as to the master -who had- been imitated. In every case the musicel critics responded correctly. The list comprised Chopin, Wagner, Beethoven, Mozart, Grieg, Schumann, Gottschalk, Strauss and Stalsmidt. Then themes .for improvisation were suggested and successfully performed. At the close of the performance Pro- fessor Hyslop, while acknowledging that it was a brilliant tour de force, said, he would have to reserveany de- lislon as to possible psychic influences until he had had further opportunity to study the pianiste..- - 'O'Of edurse," -he said, "from the bare facts before meit- is impossible to say' whether It is q feat of memory or not. I must hear the lady play many 'tiines and subject her to ma•ny tests bire Ican be' asired that each selecttOi is] really an improvisation of theuo ment. It she never repeats herselt-I.n a -long series of -perOxmai ces, ther; t would seem that- hd• gifts= are supra- normaL I would next have to obtain facts as to her angostry, to learn ii her gifts were attlktl. I 'think- from what I have hea tonig.b however, that it is ikely I Speancer's 'mind hia a 4lspositlg' to mluiminal activ- Dr, Quackenbod oan his part, was en- tirely. convinged .that )Mrs. Spencer's pneuma or soul is 'innpresse by dis- •trnate or unearpate spirits--that is, of spirits -who' have shuffled off this mortal-coil ar who never had any mor- tal coil to shuffle off. He did not, however, believe that these personalities- of the past entered into het dy and dispossessed the soul, hil rather that they acted upon that pounm.the outside. FOR Tt IHOUSEWIfE Hilghteniag a North Room. A room with Ai e ub$in exipo ure t't Is more or less cbeeq may: bea ; pad attractive by the tbing. g ave the walls done' in o fIi, of a ;warm dream tint, with garlanas of olive and gilt and a touch of red in the border. Such paper need not be expensive. Coy- er the woodwork with' a coat of cream white paint and shaidb the .electric lights or the lamps withb rich red silk or crape paper. Cover the floor with a carpet in shades of olive, tan, cream and rich red and add a bedroom suit In golden oak. Over the 4badea. which should be of deep cream, hang curtains of filmy white lace. Place a pretty plant in the side window and a few books and magazines on a small table. A room may be furnished as described at a low cost or more expensively by having a better quality Of the fd'rnish. ings, yet keeping the tones auggested. If there is a couch available, buy a couch cover in sbades of color which will harmonize with th e.furnishlngs of the room and pile 'it with bright pil- lows in glowing red and olive. A few good picturee and photographs prettily framed will add much and change the cheerless apartment to a cheerful one. The Way to Make Salad. At one time when any one said "sal: d" the listeners at once had visions of fresh lettuce chopped up 'in bits and lubricated with mayonnaise dressing, all of which was regarded as a rather unwholesome and expensive luxury. It is the Italian who has given us the salad which is a really wholesome and delicious summer food. , The dressing is made of two-thirds oil, one-third vinegar,- with salt, pepper and mustard as condiments. This is beaten together With a fork until it grows somewhat thick and mayrthen be pgur- ed over almost any cold vegetable that happens to be left from dinner. French beans, peas, potatoes, hard boiled eggs, spinach, cauliflower-all are nearly as good as fresh lettuce or encumbers and make a fair substitute for them. When lettuce is used, it should be washed and shredded and then dried in the following manner: Take a good sized teacloth, lay the lettiuce upon it, gather up the corners so tliat.the leaves cannot fall-out and shake up and down till all superfluous moisture is gone. A Sectional Mattresa; The inventor of a new mattr es gives the world a promise of ease and, com- fort. His idea, which the illustration will help the reader to understand, em- braces a sectional mattress, such as is already in general use, ieept' that , p 1; WORKS LIE AN ACCONDION. the smaller section is so made that 'it can be adapted to the purposes of bolster or pillow, or both. This is ac- complished through the. medium of upper and lower portiqus, which are connected in much the same manner as the two sides of an accordion. The connecting arrangements, however, al- though adjustable to any angle, are so secured as to permita perfectly rigid adjustment of the raised upper half of the mattress section in whatever position it is desired to be kept. The Pyrographer's Masterpleee. The art of the pyrographer has about reached perfection in its newest appli- cation. A fopr poster bed described: by an :exchange was a replica of those in use in the days of our grandmothers, but instead of being of:polished mahog- any the wood was stained ' light green. The bed was then bbtired with a pat- tern of pink poppies in conventional de- sign, some of the dark green leaves even itraying over the high~ ots. A large, old fashioned bureau, with lMass knobs on the dr•wers, was also stained green to matchi'the bed, as were the dressing table, chairs and cheval' frame, Poppies and gree leaves were used, for decorative. efects on these pieces to correspond with the bed. The cushions on the, chairs were of palest green vglvet, :which looked like leather, and the poplids were burned on the seats in such a manner as to give an embossed appearance. Even thse screen which went with the suit was i masterpiece in burnt wood. Oransge Straws. Take the peel of'.some oranges and put it into a pot of cold water. Let it boil till quite tender, but be careful to change the water after three-quarters of an hour. Drain the peel and when cool cut it into thin strips. Make a sir- up of a pound of sugar and half a pint of ,water, put in about a pound of the orange peel and let the whole boil for twenty minutes. Lift out the pieces of peel very carefully 'and put them on a plate in a warm place to dry. When they are perfectly dry, which will be in about forty-eight hours, pack them in airtight fruit jars.
