    Shows a housemaid standing in a drawing room, in which a table, a broom, dust-pan, and gloves, levitate above the floor. The caption notes how the housemaid is now greeted by a table that plays an accordion and wants to shake hands. Punch emphasizes that these feats, the stock phenomena of domestic spiritualist séances, can now happen in broad daylight.
