Sarah Bernhardt, spendthrift.

From Lucy Harper's Letter.
I really think that this wonderful
woman has q screw loose somewhere in
her mental organization. She is not
mad, nor even cracked, but she is what
the French call ''toquee. convenient
word for which the English language
affords no evuivalent. Her recklessness
in money matters is something phenom-
email When she was about to start for
America, she wrote to brilliant French
author:
''All my expenses and those OF my
maid, including carriage hire, are to be
paid by the manager. Do you think I
can get along with 81 900 per month as
pocket MONEY!" Her friend wrote back
in answer: Since you ask me the ques-
ton. do not think that you can" She
Wi give her steward 800 at time.
Two days later he will come to her for
money. "Why, did I not give you
some the other day?' she will say,
vaguely. ''All gone, is it, Her cook

be present at breakfast or at dinner, for
Sarah thinks nothing OF inviting in an
