FoRGAvE MRS. sIDDoNs.
She Did Not, According 10 Her Fa-
Their, Marry an Actor.

| tueF, mhfFy IN ActOr.
Mrs. Siddons, the actress, was born
in 1855 at the Shoulder of Mutton inn,
Brecon, south Wales, of parents con-
nected with the theater, her father,
Roger Kemble, being strolling man
ager. The child Sarah was reared in a
theatrical atmosphere, and at ten she
was playing Ariel.
AS she grow up she became very
beautiful aud had many admirers,
among whom was Henry Siddons,
young actor In her fathers company,
who had little difficulty in winning the
girls heart Mr.. and Mrs Kemble had
made up their minds that Sarah should
not marry in the profession, in conse-
Quence of which they strenuously op-
posed the marriage, and young Siddons
In a fit Of retalatory humor composed
song detailing their opposition and
his trials, which brought about his
speedy dismissal from the company.
Sarah left the company, too, and hired
out as lady's maid In Warwickshire for
two years.
During this time the lovers carried
on lively correspondence and finally,
gaining the reluctant consent of the
Kembles, were married at Trinity
church, Coventry, in 1913, when Sarah
was eighteen.
1t is said that Mr.. Kemble told her IL
she ever married an actor II would
make him discard her forever. After
her marriage he said, 81 may forgive
YOU without breaking my word, for you
have certainly not married an actor
whatever the gentleman himself may
think is his vocation" This is ON au-
thority Of Lady Eleanor Butler, who
knew the persons.

A Blackberry supcrstition.

In some OF the southern counties OF

After this date. Sept. 90, II Is unlucky
to pick or eat the fruit. The date upon
which the devil puts his foot down
against blackberry eating varies in dif.

esty should concern himself so partic-
ularly about blackberrles when SO
many greater matters might be said te

states. 1t may be that he considers
blackbevries too healthy and wishes "a
