So Patience Worth got to be verv much of a by-word. When the actions of an Individual were questioned, they might reply in je.st. Worth told me to do or "jouli hav- to ask Patience Worth." But Patience Worth not a to Mrs. John H. Curran, iorinei- Louis woman, who claimed to be a modern reincarnation of the woman of long ago.

She believed that Pa- Uencc Worth was with her, telling her what to do and what to write. Tlie strange tale of Patience Worth revived Fiiday when Mrs. Curran died in Santa Monica, Calif. Tlie newspapers again reviewed the story but in a different period than when it was live issue. Almost a quarter of a century ago.

in 1913, when Mrs. Curran wa.s yj old. began the of the phenomena wliich her national and International fame and which resulted in publication of book.s and many lines of veree which she was dictated by Patience Worth Investigation of who id traded to the case by the revealed that her dictation of both and prose contained material far beyond her capacity for originating. Among the which she is credited with dictating are "The Sorrj I ale," and 'rrucblood." In 1916, Patience Worth. Through the ouija board, directed Mrs.

Curran and her husband, former state.im­ migration commissioner of Missouri, to adopt a baby girl. The child was adopted within a few month.s and named Patience Worth Curran, She is now a resident of Santa Monica, but her name has been changed by marriage. In the seven years from 1913 to 1020, Patience Worth was credited with dictating more than 2,000,000 word.s of verse and prose through Mrs. Curran, much of which was published. In 1S20 Mrs.

Curran announced that she had given up the oulja board and was receiving messages almost entirely through spirit communications. But by that time the world had grown more accustomed to Patience Worth, and Interest tapered off. Death of Mrs. Curran at the age of 54 years left the true Identity of Patience Worth as much of a mystery aa ever. Many believed her claims to hfi a accepted tlmm nil or in part, marweling at the ability of Mr.v.
