In making the collection for a ghost book, partially men and women reproduced here, many were asked for ghosts. President and Mrs. Taft were keenImmensely amused at the idea and both took the est interest In seeing how their ghosts would turn out. The big statesman adjusted his glasses, folded with the utmost precision the paper on which he was to inscribe his ghost, looked around fur a stub pen, which, unfortunately, he could not find on his desk in the Hot Rprings bungalow and then he wrote bis name and hastily folded bock the paper. Cannot say that for such a big man as I am in the flesh my ghost ruts such a wide swath, he laughingly remarked aa he held the paper up for Mrs. Taft to view. Hut anyhow, the smaller one's ghost the better perhaps," be added. Mrs. Taft was more pleased with her ghost than she was with that of her husband.

Thursby has one of the most remarkable ghosts of all. and for beauty and symmetry it ia quite aa pleasing aa a wrought-Irowork design or a Japanese brass candlestick. "I prefer to think of it as something that was designed by the shades of some Japanese artist, which idea I absorbed when I visited some of the great temples in Japan, said Miss Thursby.

Of course one may just care to have the ghosts of one's friends and nut particularly those of people celebrated in the art, literary or political worlds, and then it will be a simple matter to fill up one's ghost book, for tbe making of ghosts will be found to be quite a novelty at a tea or other social affair, and taken along with one's hand luggage on an ocean voyage a ghost-boo- k will prove a source of endless amusement. while It will make a lasting souvenir of the trip. The ghost book Itself Is a small affair that can be gotten in the pocket of an overcoat or can he cairied easily In a muff or big handbag, so that one can always take it along without any trouble. When you ask for a ghost signature you prepare the page for the writing by folding it and the person whose ghost you are after writes directly on the line of the fold. A stub pen which holds a large amount of ink is best for this purpose, as the size and mystery of tbe ghost depend largely upon the Ink. After the name la written the pane is folded together again without blotting and lo, the ghost appears. Try it and see! It Is not necessary to have a book. One can have the signatures written on separate sheets of paper and collect them, but care must be taken to use soft paper that will absorb the Ink These separate sheeta can then be readily. but the little ghost pasted Into a scrap-boobook Itself will be found more convenient At the top of a page in tbe ghost book la a small dotted line for the date and below appears another line for the writing of the name after the ghost is made, ao that after all in a ghost book one gets a genuine autograph aa well as tbe spook slgnsture.
