She is Mint.ly marvellous in her manifestations and s ivowrs of tha supernatural. The telling of azes, biiths and dates of the audience, numbers and makers of their watches, contents of unopened letter.-:, description and names of photographs and tho marvellous knights tour in a frame of chess which has baffled tha eminent chess players, Madame doing it blindfold must be seen to be believed.

The tour is under the pilotage of the well known entrepreneur, Mr Travers Va'n, and it is pleasing to note the great success that this combination has achieved.
