only protection against endless hours of misery,

And vet how few women of nowadays women of
Temperament, possess such health! Genius. if not

women, men for that matter, who can rise
high in Art without sacrificing health are rare
indeed.
1t was solemnly decided in family council my
fourteenth birthday that | was to be an actress.
The discussion extremely frank. My god
father declared vehemently that | too thin,

to think that | would always be too thin to act,
and vaguely could not understand what plu1npness
had to do with acting. As for me, | cried all night
with disappointment. | still wanted to be nun.
To be mother superior, full of love, gentleness
and self-sacrifce was the only aim in life which
had ever appealed to
The next day was taken for the first time to the
theater The theater was the Theatre Francois,
and the play was Britannicus.' | watched it with
no great interest until Amphitryon began to sob
over the sorrows of Acmene. That too much
for me, and l burst into sobs and disturbed the
audience. Ny godfather furious and took me

mind until the result announced: First
Prize in Comedy, Mademoisee Lloyd; Second
Prize in Comedy, Mademoiselle Bernhardt." Marie
LLOYD, who had the role of Cemene, had beaten
me- She charming girl and she came to me
and kissed and softened her triumph in any
way she could.
None the less, my defeat, young l was,
like the sting of a lash What most

had watched her in CGlmene, and she had realized
the character. She had harmonzed vitaized, it,
as had not done with Hortense. That conviction
absorbed my mind for days. 1t seemed as if an
opened door had revealed to what the art of
acting really was something that L had not
understood before 1t gave me new, clearly
defined goal toward which l must work and
aspire.
| may say en- passunt that this critical capacity,
this power to appreciate superiority in others, to
see ones faults truly, others Them seems

success l had my vanity of course. One must
have that to one for the long struggle.
l shall never forget, while still young actress,

wanted to play La Tishe in angelo He ceased
his work-he was sketching- and laughed hard
that he had to sit down. My dear child" he said,
you haven't the strength the experience. 1t
will be years and years before you equal to
La Tishe.''
AS matter of fact, it thirty years later
before l felt that | could do justice to the
role, and | then played it in my own theater.
But this critical capacity, this power to ones
own powers and to Art correctly, truthfully,
is as l have said, vital Nothing interferes with
it SO much, nothing clouds the vision much,
as dreaming. Nothing develops it SO rapidly as
doing.
Another incident of the final examinations
dwells still in my memory, the kindness of Camille
Doucet the author in whose role of Hortense

much.

critique from Sarcey-''I doubt if she will ever
find those deep and thrilling notes of violent
passion which carry away an audience [

Then followed the rivalry between Croizette and
myself. She made herself agreeable to every

Fragoletra, blessed one
What think you of the light of the sun?
Do you think the dark was best,
Lying snug in mothers breast?
All knew that sweetness too,
Fragoletta, before you!
But, FragOletta, now you're born,
You must learn to love the morn,
Love the lovely working light,
Love the miracle of sight,
Love the thousand things to do
Little girl, envy you =
Love the thousand things to see,
Love your mother, and-love me-
And some night, Fragoletta, soon,
I'll take you out to see the moon;
And for the first time, child of ours,
You shall-think of it look on Flowers,
And smell them too, if you are good.
And hear the green leaves in the wood
Talking, talking, all together
In the happy windy weather;
And if the journeys not too far
For little limbs so lately made.
Limb upon limb like petals laid
Well go and picnic in star.

Blue eyes looking up at me,
! wonder what you really see,
Lying in your cradle there,
Fragrant as a branch of myrrh1
Helpless little hands and feet,
o so helpless! o so sweet!

That, Fragoletta, is bird
That speaks, yet never says a word;
Upon cherry-tree it sings,
Simple as all mysterious things;
Its little life to peck and pipe,
AS long as cherries ripe and ripe,
And minister unto the need
OF baby-birds that feed and feed.
This, Fragoletta, is flower,
Open and fragrant for an hour,
A flower. transitory thing,
Each petal fleeing as a wing,
All a May morning blows and blows,
And then for everlasting goes.
Blue eyes, against the whiteness pressed,
Of little mother hallowed breast,
The while your trusting lips are fed,
Look up at mothers Bonded head,
All benediction over YOU
o blue eyes looking into blue!

Fragoletta is so small,
We wonder that she lives at all
Tiny alabaster girl,
Hardly bigger than pearl;
That is why we take such care,
Lest some one runs away with her.
