This started the couple in pursuit

fine, keen knives and carried their ef-
forts onward to still more ambitious
designs.) For one thing they tried a

some eight feet long, with mountains,
trees, water course and other features

triumph, and was no highly praised

It was by accident that Mr. Hansen
first discovered the talent he had in
the use of the jack-knife. About twen-
ty yeara ago there came a perfect
fad-fov fans cut out of wood with a
knife.
Everybody experimented on them,
and some amateurs become 80 accom-
plished that they could turn out the
most wonderful fans, huge ones with
the leaves perfectly shaped. Mr. Han-
sen tried his akill. and was sosuc-
sure you will get a reply it you write.

and I hope you will do so. I win re-

and were much admired.
Next the Hansens hired a hall, and
announced that they would give an
exhibition and show Just bow the work
was done.
Then working swiftly, they turned
out examples of beautiful art objects
in wood, which were sold to the au-
dience. ■
One of the greatest feats they do,
and the one that attracts the most at-
tention, is to carve out a chain from
a solid piece of wood eignt feet long.
Tho links are only a half inch long,
and every process of the work calls
for the greatest skill. It takes several
( evenings to do a btece of work like
ibis, and in the interim they made it
t a point to leave the piece of work on
4 some place of exhibition in a show
* window where from day to day pass
ers-by could study the progress that
was being made.
In this way interest was aroused in
the work, and audiences alwavs as.
sured for the exhibitions of the couple.
or more before you do so I believe
in England they made numerous
carvings of King Edward, Queen Alex-
andra the prince and princess of
Wales, as well as younger members of
the royal family, and for all of these
they found the readiest kind of a sale -----

Mr and Mrs. William Hansen of

Not figuratively, but actually. I
With two deft penknives they 1
wrought so dexterously that they have
gone all over the world as trevelers,
showing to interested persons of all
countries their skill in making beau-
tiful designs in woodwork.
The couple are equally skillful in
mastery of the knife, but the husband
is the. artist, the master mind. He
thinks out the design, then he traces .
It out on the wood, and Mm Hansen I
‘takes this model and kradually cuts J
it out just as the workman follows 1
the sculptor’s lines and brings out the %
finished statue
This uncommon skin with the knife
has really been developed by the cou-
ple into a profession, rather than an j
oceupation. It 1 net their only means
of revenue, but it has enabled them
to travel over the world virtually with-
out expense to themselves, for lovers
of the beautiful have not hesitated to
purchase for goodly prices specimens
of their,skill.
* Some or the design® are very elabo-

than the work of any of their rivals
