The biography Of Sir John Edward
Millais, president OF the British Royal
academy, relates that during various
visits to Paris Sir John, OF course, met
many notable people Among them
were Rosa Bonheur and Sara Bern

him, he mistook for an able and could

honorl OF the second he wrote In 1878,
after a visit to her house:
"As we entered n boy dressed In
white, with yellow hair, sprang from
a sofa and greeted us warmly. This
seeming boy was Miss Sara Bernhard,
whose masculine attire was assumed
for the convenience 1t afforded for the
practice Of the art she loves far more
than that In which she is famous She
made the astounding declaration to me
that she hated acting and would rather
succeed in painting or sculpture or
both, than In any other earthly calling.
OF her painting ! cannot speak, for !

ture surprised US all and left little
doubt that II she devoted herself en-
tlrely to that art she would take a
