OLD HOUSE UNTOUCHED. These proceedings were regarded as pre-

House into an English "Raja Yoga" Academy --whatever that might prove to be. But when the Leader representative paid a second visit to Old House this week, expecting to find the academy a going concern, he was astonlik- ed to discover that from the day of his previons visit, eighteen months ago, to that present moment, practically nothing had been 'done.. There stood the queer building, hiding in the furthest wilds of the forest, miles from railways and human society, an deserted in appearance as it had been in the few months that followed the death of its first master.

here

A few charges were noticeable as one came to the end of the narrow curț-track, which was its only approach from the main road. Chief of these was the absence of the tower which old Mr. Herbert had crazily piled up in the centre of bis singgling architecture, to enable him to sit, as it were, presiding over the storms and calms of the great forest stretched around him, One of Mrs. Tingley's first deeds as the new owner was to have it pulled down.. Gono, too, were the brightly painted caravans in which Mr. Herbert used to spend so many summer days and nights, and which, in his day, stood phow thaærowng dr the appearance of a fair yard.

The entrance gate, 100, `bad been smartened up, and was kept fastened against visitors, these being requested to pull the bell handle, which sounded a far-off peal in the servants' quarters.","

ONLY A CARETÁKER.

To the Leader representative's ring, there appeared after some delay a young man who described himself as the caretaker, le gave the surprising information that Old House had been empty, except for himself, ever since Mrs. Tingley and her party left it in 1907, and the only attempt so far to establish a school there had been the fitting up of some of the rooms as class-rooms. Through the window of the bearest building the visitor caught a glimpse of rows of chairs 'patically awaiting the little Theosophists who sie yet outside Mr. Ting ley's net.

As to the future, the caretaker had no in formation; but be put our rapresentative in communication with Mr. Crook, the before mentioned London agent of the movement,

Here was more change. The "Raja Yoga Lodge" in St. John's-wood, where Mrs. Tingley had queened it so majestically 13 months ago, was empty, and desolate, with the "House to Lat" board outside; and it was to quite a modest little residence.in Acton that the Lediler man discovered Mr. Crook last night.

LOTUS MOTHER" TOJ BUSY. His information was almost as meagre as the New Forest caretaker-who, by the way. bad carefully dispatched to London an account of our representative's call earlier in the week, To the question, why had there been such delay in ppening the promised. English academy, he replied that "Mrs. Tingley had been too busy to attend to it,'

But she is visiting England again this year, that is certain; and the date will possibly be in the early summer. Until then everything is in abeyance,

་་

"Our Miss Harbert, meanwhile, is managing the 'Raja Yoga' Academy which Mrs. Tingley 'established in Cuba..

Mr. Crook could say nothing definitely about where the New Forest scholars are to come from, on what terms, they are to be received, The ideality of the teachers, or the character of the educ tion of these interesting questions we may expect to have authoritative news from the lips of the "Purple Lotus Mother" herself when she again bonours us with her presence.
