American Girl Tells Experiences
as Wife of Prince

New York. "I told him that there
tvaa something else In this big world
for me to do than to be shut up and
cry."
Thus an American girl issued her
detlance to a king. It was ler retort
to tho khedlve of Egypt's plea, one
we have all heard more times than we
have dollars, or even pennies: "A
woman's place is in her husband'
home."
"Be It ever so unhappy," she fin
lshed, adding to the discomfiture of
tho occupant of Cleopatra's throne.
They were saucy words to be spok
en to a monarch, and the speaker
might have been punished as aro tho

a sack and silence and the waters of
the sea.
She is an American, though she
bears the titlo of princess, bestowed
upon her by her husband, the Prince
Ibrahim Hassan, cousin of the ruler
of Egypt. She Is primarily an Ameri
can girl. Sho was a Callfornian, and
one of the handsomest of that state
of handsome women, before she be
came a princess, and to a woman the
habit of saying what sho thinks
clings.
That Is tho reason why she said
without fear and without wavering:
"An oriental husband is liko a small
boy that delights in tying a tin can
to a kitten's tall or In pulling a Hy

liliu that makes him like to see suf

Princess Hassan was explaining
why she Is in this country.
"The most foolish act a girl can
commit, except suicide, is to marry
an oriental," said tho tall woman in
black velvet and gray fur, her tiny
foot tapping. "The inhabitants of
these opposite sides of the world are
as un'.lke as oil and water, and they
will assimilate no better.
"In America a wife has a chance In
a mental contest or In a conflict of
wills with her husband. In Egypt or
Turkey or any other part of the orient
the American wlfo is powerless, for
he uses agalnBt her the mighty weap

This was ono of the 'messages"
from the lato W. T. Stoad, which his
daughter, Miss Estcllo W. Stead, do
Ihered to a crowded gathering of tho
London Spiritualistic alltanco in tho
salon of tho Hoyal Society of British
America.
Miss Stead, who explained that sho
was neither a lecturer nor a public
speaker, mado n very nrcmlflT dobut
In both capacities. In proclaiming
"what spiritualism means to mo"
shesald the ono fact that stood out
clearly was individual responsibility
and tho unlimited power of self-development
in this life, whllo away
ahead lay a long road of development
for the soul. As to tho possibility of
communion with thoBovho had passed
over sho was as certain of It as sho
was of anything.
Tor some tho veil between wns vory

of tne most splendid proof3 of authen

It was somutlmcs very difficult, how
over, to got into communication with
thoBo beyond. Her fathor, in n recent
message, said:
"Would that you could see how raro
It in for clear direct spiritual Inter
course to take place. I see peoplo
sitting in circles who ato the victims
of the lower spirits."
Her futher, said Miss Stead, found it
difficult to communicate through her,
becnuso her mind was apt to Jump to
concluslonc, but ninny messages had
come through others. In ono of them
ho spoko of tho horrors of tho battle
field and "of all thoso hurried over
hero untlttcd for tho spiritual life.
They como in great hands and ovon
tho archangels aro powerless to ralso
tho spirit it must grow of Itself."
In another message ho spoko of
tho harrowing scenes witnessed by
him during tho war. "Some of tho
victims," ho said, "were higher than
others In tho spiritual plane, but moat
gravitated to tho prison houses nnd
the da kness of tho spheres."
"1 think," Miss Stoad remarked,
"that my father has found It moro dif
ficult to got absolutely correct state
ments through than ho had any idea
was the case when ho wns on this
side. Many things that wo may havo
taken to be correct then, feol now,
with tho greater knowiedgo, ho wishes
