I am wearing a grey flannel suit similar to those you often saw mc wear, a soft collar and a. soft shirt. I have even finger nails. It is wonderful feeling ■ always fit and never depressed. We" have no money, and work things out in kind. I have worked for my suit. I would • I j . not return to earth, as I am quite happy here. I liked the pink . ffewers you placed on my grave. Keep plenty of •flowers in your room in future, as I'm often there. You -will be.glad to'know I have chosen a country home. I dislike great cities -without sunshine. I have a . beautiful home, with flower "beds, and even conservatories. Don'.t chew the end of your pencil when you write. Juicy figs are much, better." . : • Concluding, Northcliffe's voice said: "Power going, but won't say good-bye. Be ■with you again. Bless you."—("Sun.") i /
