REED RIBBON FOR BERNHARDr
Her Professorship will Admit Her

Her Professorship Will Admit Her to
 the Legion of Honor. Mime. Sarah Bernhardt being now ! Conseryatoire professor, is sure of her 'red ribbon says London Truth. She may expect soon to triumph over the Council of the Legion of Honor and its Chancellor
 Her talents ought to be a sufficient distinction. But this is not her view. She knowns that when she retires much would be forgiven because of ber devoration.
 Nor could she endure the idea of Mile. Bartet wearing the much covet- ed cross at soirees when she herself had not so much as the palms of her academy to show. When Sarah Bern hardt quarrelled with M. Perrin Cthe manager of the Theater Francais) in her far back days, Mile Bartet stepped into her place and taught her that there 1s no necessary actress. ! On the whole, the newcomer did hat. ter than her precursor-her personality was less unbending. She was lool, at her as one might, more plastic, entered more completely into her roles, was free rom mannerisms and her public thought her perfect. I myself had been very tired of the mannerisms of Sarah Bernhardt. One admires the lat ter but sometimes wearles of her. One falls in love with Mile. Bartet and re- mains constant to her; her yoke is Ieasy.
 Sarah s-excuse the fancy-a marvel- lous transposition of the perpendicular style of architecture. Go to St. Albans Cathedral and sit down in front of thel tomb of Duke Humphry of Gloucester. Get the tomb well into your eye, and you will come away with the idea that Sarah Bernhardt in her winding sheet draperies is it's only suitable guardian angel. She is like it--all in vertical lines. The vertical style is one of deca- dence. But it Is none the less taking. and has great charm

A fearless president backed by indignant public

But the honest business man pursued his course The
Wall st. panic did not create ripple upon the surface OF

AVERTiNG A DIVORCE

Wells appreciated the smoke OF
the cigars. 1t was good to be again
with the sloppy jim
Brisford, slow, lazy and witty;
Johnny Calvers. his one time pal;
John Fellows, broad of back and
supple of leg; Harry Blade, and the
rest.
Blade sat with his hat drawn
over his eyes, his inevitable cigar
cite clutched Imply between his
fingers. Brigford rested ruddy and
cheerful behind a stein. The free
dom of single life struck Wells with
new force. He found it hard, after
the semi-mOnOtony of every night
at home with papers, pipe and
magazines to enter into the ire
sponsible levity of the club. Some
of his newly acquired dignity OF
expression undoubtedly fingered in
his face.
Cheer up" Blade volunteered :;
"rdemember you can get a divorce.
Wells smiled. II was his first
visit to the club since his marriage
year before. Brigford gloWered
upon him with satirical amuse-
ment. Big Brgford His was the
butterfly nature, the easy come and
go type, a prince at perslfiage
whose language dubbed with synic
ism aimed at established things
but couched in language without
bitterness and always in exquisite
taste. Wells was not immune to
the currents of good fellowship
thrown out from his old running
mates. He succumbed-tirst taking
out $40 worth of chips from Brig
ford, the banker" and later by in
rigating his dry gullet with de
coction in which hunk of ice and
spoon had played prominent
part.

3 o'clock when the game broke up
Brigford had walked a mile or so
with him. Both of their heads
cooled off in the walk, but Brigford
saw that Wells was possessed with
a fear of his wife. Naturally he
told the other fellows of Wells

greeted with a roar of laughter.

Resurrection into the spiritual
comes in this life only as we die to
the evil and material. This means
a struggle and an overcoming-a
struggle carried on in our daily
lives to put down the temptations
which beset on every side. We rise
by every triumph over sin resisted.
We grow into the larger life by the
death of evil passions which have
held US, The life of man upon the
earth says JON, lis warfare" You
have enemies within and without
the camp. Your own passions are
so many domestic foes struggling
against your better nature, and the
world is constantly setting snares
to entrap you.
In time of war-that is. in mo-
ments of temptation-a good spirit

is to a soldier, the manual of prayer

decline battle by avoiding the oc-
CasionS of sin
The holy scripture is not only
your weapon in time of war, but
also your companion in time of
peace. 1t will lead you into the
most sacred and memorable scenes
ever presented to the gaze of men.
1t will take you to Mount Sinai.
where you can contemplate Jehovah
giving His law to Moses. 1t will
enable you to follow the children of
Israel i'll their devious wanderings
through the desert till the Promised
Land is reached. 1t will accompany
you to the mountains of Judea,
where you can listen to the prophets
lenOuncng the iniquities of the He
brew people
With the multitude you can sit
on the grass and hear our Lord
preaching His sermon Oh the Mount.
You can reverently stand beside
Him while He is conversing with
the Samaritan woman at the Well
Of Jacob. You can listen to him
while He is preaching His last dis
course to His disciples.
This companion will transport
you to Athens, where you can
hearken to Paul condemning the
idolatry of that refined but super
StiticuS people. You can behold in
magination those sacred person
ages recorded in scripture and list
on to the very words that fell from
their lips.
The holy scripture is mirror in
which we see wildly reflected the
| exalted virtues OF some and the
moral deformities of others. The
| admirable conduct of the saints in
spires us to inmitate their virtues
while the crimes of those who have
| fallen serve as beacon lights, warn.
