INVISIBLE.

HAND

'N A DARKENED ROOM AT BEDFORD PARK, WEST LONDON, A GHOSTLY HAND IS WRITING IN LETTERS OF. LIGHT A STRANGE LOVE STORY.

The unseen hand, spiritualists say, is that of Lady Caillard, who, until her death in 1935, acted as leader of the Society of Pro- gressive Souls at her home-half mansion and half church---in West Halkin-street, S.W.

Thero, on a psychic instrument known as the Communi- graph, she watched the spirit hard of her dead husband, Sir Vincent Caillard, inscribe a book called "A New Conception of Love."

Sir Vincent, famous financier and Vickers director, died in 1930.

To that book Lady Caillard added an appendix which stated "I have made all arrangements to continue my work with him and he tells me that together we will be permitted by God to continue our work on earth and write the sequel to this book, the title of which will be 'The Bird Goes Home." Socioty's Claim

Lady Caillard picked this title since, in life, her pet name for her husband was "Big Fish." while he coiled her "Birdle."

Now bath husband and wife ore dead and members of the Society of Progressive Souls claim that when they meet once a week, Lady Caillard's spirit hand writes the promised book before them, chapter by chopter.

They are watching fascinatedly the progress of the love story they belleve has entered a new phase with the reunion of husband and after

death.

The Communigraph, on which the this instrument flash out the words spirit book is being written, is anjof the dead Lady Caillard's book, electrically operated machine which was "Invented" after his death by dictated $11~ George Jobson, who structions of his construction "from the other side."
