in the room. That night she was found
kneeling before a church in her nightgown. Again she threw
a lot of articles into the yard, saying a curse had been
put on her by her father, and she did not wish to give him
anything. When she was taken to the Observation Pavilion
she said, "I am a good girl--my mother is dead--it is all
my father's fault."

At the _Observation Pavilion_ she put her arm under a hot
water faucet "to save the world," prayed and laughed--again
sank back and appeared as if asleep. She said, "I hear
angels telling me how to pray when I lose my
thoughts--sisters and nuns are all around me here, to save

She soiled her bed and was asked why she did it. She said
"I have been transformed into a baby, the Lord said I was
too pure to be a woman--I had to become a baby to save the
world." Or when asked her name she called herself "Baby
Chadwick of the whole world--divine Irish Catholic
World--Amen," or again "I am the Roman Catholic Irish
Divine Baby."

Although she was not essentially disoriented she called the
