ness?"
This query is on the lips of Parisions
who have had their attention called
during the past few days to Edmond
Rostand, the great French poet and
dramatist, and Nine. Sarah Bernhard,
the most distinguished figure on the
French stage.
Rostand is dying, and while the
cause of his illness is given out as
intestinal trouble, many of his friends
believe that he is dying of broken
heart, caused by brooking over the
charges of plagiarism that were made
against him some years ago.
Nine. Bernhard has been disap.
pointed again in her quest of recogni'
ton from the Legion of Honor, which
she has sought for many years without
success.
These two great geniuses of French
literature and drama have attained the
highest pinnacles of achievement in
their art. and yet there is a bitterness
in the cup.
