French Wit.

Clyde Fitch was discussing French
wit.
"The wit of France" he said, won't
bear transplanting. We shouldn't like
it here. 1t is too subtle, too unex-
pected, too delicate, and, above all, too
wicked.
II heard yesterday a French with
cism that exempliffes well the Calls
qualities of subtlety, delicacy and
wickedness.

BERNHARDT AND MARIE LLOYD
When Music Hall Artist Was First
and Sarah Only Second.


Sarah Bernhard has told in her
memoirs, recently published, about
the result of the final examination at
the Paris conservatory, says the Pitts
burg Dispatch. She was, she says,
almost overcome, failing to receive
even honorable mention for her per-
Torrance in tragedy and obtaining
only the second prize for her work in
comedy. The first prize went to Marie
Lloyd, who afterward became a music
hall artistic
OF her chagrin and disappointment
on that occasion Nine. Bernhard
writes:

PROF. SEARS LONG SENTENCE.
Conclusion Afar Off. So the Class Was
Excused.

One warm afternoon in June Prof
Sears Of Brown university was lectur-
Ing to his class In American literature.
Several members had fitted from
the room during the moments when
his eyes were on his manuscript, but
beyond the remark that the room zap
peared to be leaking" he took no no
tice of the fact
His paper for the day, like the 9th
ers he delivered. had been prepared
at his home a long distance from the
college. The accurate eye of the stu,
dent who sat nearest him had noted
that 1t appeared less bulky than usual
but even he was not prepared for what
followed
Right In the middle of a sentence

the opening words and again halted

twinkle in his eye. he said:

i For the first time since her mothers
death, three years ago. she had taken

And after this dash OF cold water.
Billy would look very thoughtful for
fully thirty minutes.
They had known each other for al

abroad when she had been travelling
with her mother, and the tender, fra

AS for Billy. Il never knew what my

"but she must have been just like

They had been 80 much to each

since the mothers death Billy had
never missed spending his sundays In
the little town where Mrs. Court

girl must be. and although sne would
not admit II herself. the impressive
stiffness OF the big house was very
trying at times.
To-day was one of those perfect

tion of the city would be lowered two
