It was in December 1919 that I saw the first close-up picture of
a Martian--a woman. Her head was covered with a thin veil which

Her skin was unusually white, which contrasted with the dark
hair. She wore no jewelry, or other ornaments that I could see.

On a subsequent occasion I was permitted to see a Martian male.
He was playing a flutelike instrument, and as he was quite close

semi-transparency of the skin is characteristic of the Martians,
and evidences a life that is free from the many bodily ailments
that afflict humanity on our Earth. The Martian was dressed in
graceful but loose-fitting clothes of a reddish-brown color. His
eyes were a deep blue and his lips seemed to be unusually red.
In respect to stature he was, I would say, about five feet nine
inches in height. In fact, on subsequent occasions I have
observed crowds of Martians gathered together and they appeared
no different from the inhabitants of our own world except as to
clothing, which is much simpler, but more graceful than our

at the time of my vision were engaged in playing about the feet
of a Martian. They did not exactly resemble cats, but were more
