The professionals Messrs. Smith,

fashion that left nothing to be desired,
Rip was uncOmmonly good. She was the
loving, mpUlsive and hot tempered woman

for her work She and MIR. Smith gave a
good exhibition of GOODNESS and presence of
mind in the third act. Mr.. Smith happened
to be sitting on table on which stood
lighted candle. Beside him and at the end
of the table sat Mrs. Putnam, who was cry
ing, with her face in her hands. When she
loose coat Rip wore had caught fire and was
blazing merrily. Without in any way show
ing alarm she proceeded to put out the
flame with her hands, burning them rather
badly in the attempt. 1t was done SO swift
