THE BEGINNINGS OF SEERSHIP.
description I recognized, without any effort of imagination, a young lady I had been intimately associated with. I have mentioned this to one or two mutual friends, whose look of awe when half through the description is quite convincing enough as to its correctness. As far as I recollect your description was as follows: “A young lady with a pleasant oval face, five feet six inches in height, who often wore a ‘toque,’ well marked and defined eyebrows, oval- or almond- shaped eyes, well-shaped nose—not long ; upper row of teeth slightly prominent, but not retarding the symmetry of the features; small and well- shaped hands. One who died between five and seven years ago.”
You were absolutely correct in every detail except height, as she was tall, quite five feet eight-and-a-half when wearing heels ; her hands though beautiful were not conspicuously small. I thought the period of her death at the time incorrect, but I have since ascertained that she died in 1900.
I have much pleasure in thus testifying to your powers of Clairvoyance, etc., etc.,
H, JENNINGS.
The sentence “quite five feet eight-and-a-
half when wearing heels”—to correct my modest five feet six,—is amusing. Had he actually measured her, with and without heels, I wonder ?
