band was with her, but he sat near one of
the lights reading. while she occupied a
window place IN seat with stranger.
She had been looking out of the window
as the darkness grew, watching the
lights and faces of the people in the car
reflected in the Opaque dusk, when sud
denly she was startled by the appear
ance directly in front Of the window of
an apparitiOn in marble. it seemed.
1t was the face and head of veneer
able man. with high forehead, flowing
white hair and long beard. Unlike the
faces of the other occupants OF the car,
which were turned in the same direc-
ton with herself, this face looked at
her from forward, SO that it presented
almost a square front.
Something in the sight chilled and
frightened her. Not daring to turn,
she reached around and touched the
woman at her side. to whom, before
this. she had not spoken.
Look" she said, earnestly; "look at

Attracted by her manner the stranger
leaned forward and peered over her
shoulder into the darkness.

spoke the face vanished.
"a .sWhy. didn't you see it as you
turned?'' the other asked, eagerly. "a

beard. Whose could it have been?'
: She turned ana scannt the occupants
of the seats near her, then got up and
walked the length of the car. searching
for the original, thinking she was tie
victim of some illusion of refractlon.
There was nobody in the car whose face
in the least reSembled that she had seen,
and she and her seat mate talked OF the
matter till the litter left at the next
stOpping-place.
On her way from the train the Con-

It is fully as broad as an Ascot; the ends
are pointed and intended to be worn out

into four different styles and is

very fetching little clasp comes in
silver. enamel and gold. which catches
and holds the completed tie fast to the

from slipping, and forming very pretty

DRAMA OF ALICE MITCHELL
1t Is Said Rernhardt Will Have
Sardou Write 1t For Her.

When Nine. Sarah Bernhardt was in
interest in the case of Alice Mitchell.
She made visit to the county Jail and
took a look at the young woman whose
crime has been the sensation of two
hemispheres. says the Memphis Appeal
Avalanche. She was not allowed to
converse with the prisoner, but her keen
eyes took in everything that was to be
seen. 1t now appears that it was not
morbid curiosity which impelled the
French actress to visit Alice Mitchell,
but business.
Nine. Bernhardt has been making a
collection from the newspapers of the
articles pertaining to the case; and she
has gathered the facts, theories and
comments into scrap book. The scrap
book has, however, not been compile q
for her own dedication, but it will be
presented to Victorien Sardou, the great
est dramatist of France-hence of the
world-and he will endeavor to write
play upon it for the divine Sarah. At
least this is what gossip says. Just
how to handle such case IOr the stage
would stump All EngliShman or an
American playwright, but it need not
present an inSuperaDle difficulty to a
Frenchman.
The skill with which the French
dramatists have handled, from purely
dramatic standpoint, such themes asia
Tosca," Fedora" and 1.-The Clemen
ceau Case" are based upon would, of
course, be equal to the treatment of the
case of Alice Mitchell. 1t is impossible
for an American, with his cold blood
aud conservatism, to guess at the shape
which Sardou,s drama of Alice Nit
chelI' will assume; but it would be safe
to wager that it will not be wanting in
thrilling situations land sensational
development. Just what role the
vine Sarah will assume in it is also 4
matter of speculation. Will she ,imper-
senate Alice Mitchell, Freda Ward
or Lille johnson? 1t is possible
that the great French dramatist
may make of Lille Johnson the heroine
of the drama. He would hardly select
Freda Ward, as much OF the incident of
the play would naturally follow her
death. He might also assume that the
nature of the crime was such that the
star ought not to take the role of Alice
Mitchell. May he not see possibility
i'll the character of Miss Johnson, around
whom a suspicion of guilt has been
thrown by the court, which would
Justify him in assigning to her the star
part in this necessarily lurid drama? If
it should turn out that Alice Mitchell
was crazy, and that Lille Johnson was
the innocent victim of terrible hard
ship, would not this make her case one
of the most pathetic as we'll as dramatic
on reeord?. May Lot NJ. Sardou see it in
that light?

Mrs. Julia A. Carney lives near Gale
burg, Ills, and has family of grown
up sons, with whom in her old age she
makes her home. She is three score and

temperament as bright and as philosoph-
ical and poetic as when. at the teachers
class in Slenography in the old fremont
Temple in Boston, away back in the
year of 1915. she first composed the

exercise.
When permission to publish her por-
trait was recently requested. Mrs. Car
ney replied:

Mrs. Carney has never attached much
value to the famous little verse with
which her name Will always be associ-
ated, but regards it as a mere accident
of composition. However. it has en-
tered into the folklore philosophy of
about every intelligent community, and
is more quoted today by fond parents in
the counseling of their children than
ever before.

was granted divorce by Judge Val

she and II. NJ. Hawkins called at the

was given them, she producing proofs
that she had the consent of her mother.

his residence the same place as that of
his prospective bride.
