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.

. There, on a psychic instrument known as the Communi- graph, she watched the spirit hand of her dead husband. Sir Vincent Callard, 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," Society's Claim

Lady Callard picked this title since, in life, her pet name for her husband was "Big Fish." while he called her "Birdie."

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

They are watching fascinatedly the progress of the love story they believe has entered a new phare 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 an of the dend Lady Cuillard's book, electrically operated machine which was "Invented" after his death by George Jobson, who dictated in- structions of his construction "from the other side."

Her maid witnessed it, also her secretary at the time, Miss Hilda K. Bissett.

Miss Bissett left Lady Houston in 1928 to become Mrs. Chapman, of. Bris-. tol. She said to-day that when the will was made Lady Houston was staying at the Trianon Palace Hotel, Versailles, waiting to go aboard her yacht. She was ill.

One day sudenly she said to Mrs. Chapman, "I think I shall make my will." She was read- ing a book at the time.

She picked up the envelope, laid it on the book, and began writing: "This is the last will and testament... "Alling the whole of one side of the paper.

Mrs, Chapman cannot remember the details of the will, but she says it laft large sums to various hospitals in London, to be used for cancer research.

"I can only remember — and I am not even sure about this- two other bequests," she said. "These were to her favourite nlece, Lady Palmer, wife of Sir Geoffrey Palmer, and her sister, Mrs. Wrey. I did not see what the amounts were, and I never saw the will again.

A wrong which an English King appears to have done to Scotland in 1328 is to be righted in 1837, more than 600 years later.
