AN "ENGLISH MISS" WHO CAME
OUT WITH SARAH BERNHART.
London Pan, October %.
Gas soon as the pilot had left,
carrying Mr.. George S. Boyer away
In a flood of tears, Sara rushed to her
cabin. So did L, and was soon an
agitated witness of the great crea-
lures every action.
"By the way, 1 quite forgot to say
that in the hurry of parting, and the
crowding round her for last embra-
ces the ulster was torn open, and
bits of her expensively-trimmed robe
beneath few right and left as she
was torn with emotional spasms and
admiring hugs. One of these bits
piece Of bronze fringe-I seized, in
transports at having such souvenir
of our deesse, and it will form No. l
of my large collection Of souvenirs
Of Sarah.
"But to return to the hole in the
panel. The first thing the. great
creature did was to look in the glass.
Unrolling her Ulster, scarves and
swathing bands, she stood in her
simple peignoir, monument of fra
| gile lmperceptibility. 1 knew she
was there and could see the large
bunch of stephanotis at her shoul-
der, but the aperture was so small
that it was only for an instant that
she filled the area of sight.
"She was calm even to smiling,
and after touching up her cheeks
with white and her eyelashes with
bistre she touched the electric gong
which stood on a carved ivory ped
estal at the door of her marine bou-
doir, and at its silvery call her staff of
ten followers appeared together at
her door. There was the novelist
who writes her stories, the sculptor
who touches up her statuettes, the
painter who glazes into shape her
paintings, the tutor to Maurice, the
groom of the chamber, the musician,
the prompter, the jester in ordinary
and others whose duties L could not
divine. Sitting down in large ham,
mock lined with figured satin and
fringed with silver bells, she gave
the order to unpack. Ali she said
and did was done and said with those
languishiug lotus eating airs and
graces so we'll known to her admi-
rers. 'Deballez-moi tout ca--et vite

"In the twinkllng OF several eyes her
boudoir became a small Partisan palace
Venetian glasses, ebony and ivory
carvings, gold frames, terra-cotia busts,
marble statuettes, onyx cups and ver-
neil salvers did not strew the room, but
each found its place in way which
proved that many rehearsals Of this
Transformation scene must have taken
place previously.
"Ths loveliest Oriental rugs, the most
exquisite Persian embroideries, the
quantest Japanese silk paintings, filled
the corners or illum mated the stools

"How ii was the hole in the panel was
never stopped by some hanging mlnia-
!ure or intervening tapestry was won
der. And there she was lying, her bare
feet in slippers covered with pearls, fan
ming herself with hunming-birds' wing:
fastened together with DIAMOND links.
"Just opposite me was the celebrated
silver coffin lined with rose satin, and
the ivory skeleton holding the to let
glass before her.
"Then the ten followers sat gravely
on the longest Of the Persian rugs and
taking from various concealments in
their dress sundry musical instruments,
the following chorus was suug with &c
tastic signs of faith and devotion:
lTrhnslation.l
Sarah To thee our pecan raising
We sing the glory of thy name;
Thy every deed and action praising,
Though that can ne'er Increase thy
fame.
"My feeble lines do not pretend to
give the vigor Of the original staDza, and
when add that nothing could be more
religious in Its convlctlon,o or less musical
in its accompaniment, you will readily
believe it was strange scene.
The pilot waits alongside to carry these
lines. More In my next. Extremely
interesting and most exciting"
