SARAH AND THE nNDIANs."
Bernhardt Played Fedora for Them at
Thirty-Eive Cents a Head.

Sarah Bernhardt. the great French
actress once played in Sullivan. Ind,
at thirty-1ive cents q head
1t was many years ago, and Bren-
hardt was making a tour of the coun-
try. On the way from Louisville. to
indianapolis the train was stopped at
Sullivan by the news that d serious
freight wreck had occurred a few
miles up the road, completely block
ing the tracks and making progress to
indianapolis impossible until the next
day
Very WELL said the manager in ex-
cellent French and with forced calm
ness. Since we cannot leave town
we will give a performance here.
Impossible, said Nine. Bernhardt,
also in French Quite impossible 2
Not a bit" said the manager, and
he went about it. The divine Bern
hardt, being under contract to play n
certain number of nights, was induced
to consent. There was no opera
house, in Sullivan. but the Masonic
hall was rented, and some of the
scenery was crowded into it. The local
job Office got out lot of handbills III
a hurry and messengers were dis
patched to the adjoining towns to
spread the glad news that Bernhardt,
the divine Sarah. was to play in
Sullivan that night and that admission
would be thirty-five cents.
No use trying to charge metropoli-
tan prices here" said the manager to
the treasurer, and that gentleman
sighed and said he supposed not.
In the early evening there began to
come into town long lines of green
farmer wagons, each holding a family
party. When the house was full the
great Bernhardt cautiously took a
peep at it from behind the flimsly
curtain.
Mon Dieu!" she cried. raising her
jeweled hands. Look at the
Indians!''
But she played Fedora for them,
and she played until II o'clock.-Sat-
urday Evening Post.

Terrific Strain Upon the Workmen in

A GENUINE PROBLEM.
Estimates of Amount a Woman
Should Spend on Dress.

Estimates of Amount a Woman
Should Spend on Dress.
Estimates Of the expense of a wo-
mans dress made by Lady GWendolen
Ramsay and published in the Nine
teenth Century have been widely
copied. Lady Ramsay names two
sums as fixing proper limits of money
spent for dress by the wealthy and
merely well-to-do. The former should
get along on $1,250 year. The
latter should make out their attire on
$500. This clearly defines the
habitual wrong way of getting at the
right relation of dress and money.
The problem Of economy in dress
was never solved by asking anybody
else how much dress ought to cost.
The first thing to be settled is, How
much have you to spend? The great
harm done by Lady GWendolen Ram
say and other economists in advising
women on the cost of dress is this
the notion thus conveyed is that the
expense of a woman's wardrobe is a
fixed quantity. Now, the factor of
this problem that is actually fixed is
the amount of money available. OF
course, thus considered, in many
instances The problem works out so
that woman cannot have the dress
she needs, according to Lady Ram

says standard, nor yet what she and
her neighDor determine is absolutely
indispensable to proper appearance.
What then happens? Self-sacrifice,
of course-a factor generally over
looked in the problems of life as they
are solved by the light of modern
science.
Clearly, if woman wants more
clothes than she has money to buy,
she has to want less.-Harper's Bazaar
