"Thcro wos a t.nidovUlc loam, consisting of a nuin and a woman, who did a very pretty knlfc-ilvtiwlng knlfc-ilvtiwlng act.

"On the evening 1 was present the girl I ilmncod to bo 111. and the knife-thrower was forced to substitute his wife ns the I target. She wns a complete antithesis of th.. girl, with a rotund llguro and wrln- kled face. When her husband tried to tic her on thc eascj. tho woman proved to be no stout that the thungs wero passed about her body with difficulty.

With unerring aim the knife Bhot through the air and Imbedded Itself In the easel within an Inch of the wo-man'o wo-man'o skull The knife was quivering ln the panel so close to tho woman's head that It touched her hair as it oscillated. The spectators gasped with admiration.

Tho first qualification demanded In a member of tho company, haa been voice, histrionic ability and porsnn.nl appearance, appear-ance, although absolutely necessary were, so to speak, socond.iry considerations. Naturally It has been difficult to organize a company of comedians who could sing, and It Is perhaps not neceoBtiry to say that all young women with good voices nro not protty. but Air. WItmnrk succeeded, suc-ceeded, and It ls his hoast that every woman wo-man In the company Is pretty.
