MEMS ROLES FOR WOMEN.
Why Women Are Better Adapted to
Play Certain Male Parts.
Sarah Bernhardt In Harpers Bazaar

Sarah Bernhard, In Harper's Bazaar.
There is one important reason why
think a woman is better adapted TO play
parts like L'Aiglon and Hamlet than a
man. These roles portray youths of twen-
ty or twenty-one, with the minds of men
of forty. A boy of twenty cannot UNDER
poetic enthusiasm OF L'AigIon. and with
out understanding there Is no delineation
of character. There are no young men or
that age capable , Of playing these , parts arts,
He does not look the boy. nor has he the
ready adaptability of the woman. who can
combine the light carriage OF youth with
the mature thought OF the man. The wom-

much art in throwing the arm about a
woman's shoulders as a man would throw

which is the hallmark of genius. is never

A more difficult undertaking? Yes. I grant
you, much more difficult Mems roles In
themselves are. as a rule. more difficult to
portray than women's. and. assuredly. for
a woman to essay them Is an undertaking

May BE Paid Through the Cramps.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-The State De-
partment has received money as yet on
account of the Turkish indemnity claims.
Nor has it any connection whatever with
the deal made by the Cramps with the
Turkish government for the inclusion Of
the amount of the indemnity in the price to
be paid for warship by the Turkish gov
eminent. But it does know that such a
contract has been made, but it also has had
for its own part promises from the Turkish
government that the claims shall be paid.
So, If the money comes through the
Cramps it will be accepted, as the State
Department recognizes the right of the
Porte to select any messenger 1t may
choose to transmit the money All that is
necessary to make the transaction proper
is that the fact shall clearly appear on the
records that the money is paid by the Turk
ish government to the government OF the
United States, which will distribute IL
among the claimants adjudged to be en-
titled to compensation.

ODDS AND ENDS

Singers, actors and public speakers,
since the introduction of the electric
light, have less trouble with their
voices, and are less likely TO catch cold;
their threats are not so parcked and
they feel better. This is due TO the air
not being vitiated and the temperature
more even.
