ing Of the Lyceum Theater by Henry
Irving that thrust her forward as a great
artist. It seems somewhat strange that this
woman, already experienced. should have
thought that she had met defeat instead of
the great triumph which was hers. At the
conclusion of the performance which caused
the English public to go into raptures over
her she rushed to her dressing room and
said to lady frieno who was awaiting her
there in an outburst OF despair:
Il have failed. / have miserably failed!'
And then. selling a long cloak, threw 1t
about her shoulders and rushed out of the
theater without waiting to remove her stage
attire. Her friend went with her and they
entered a cab and drove up and down the
Thames embankment until daylight, for the
weeping Terry could not be consoled. Then
they were driven home, and In an hour or
so later the morning papers came and told
of her triumph.
She laughs when she speaks Of the Incl
dent now and says that she could not be-
lieve her eyes when she read those papers,
but they we're there, and her doubts were
eventually conquered. She has never judged
herself since that time, and says. naively.
that she was a pretty bad judge-of Ellen
Terry.
FAMOUS SAYINGS.-A number Of quota
tions which are still apt come from "She
Stops to Conquer" Among them are:
