Divine Sarah on Marriage.

Asked by a mag Izine to define
her position on the question,
"Should stage folk marry Sar-
ah Bernhardt, the mother of sew
eral children, but who was never
married, answered as follows:
Every young girl, whether
actress or princess, whether rich
or poor, is entitled to form her
life according to her own indi-
viduality; to be happy and con-
tented, she must follow, or car
ry out, her ideal conception of
things.
"If marriage is her ideal, by all
means let her get married as soon
as she finds a proper partner.
Whether she is on the stage or
not shouldn't make the least diff
ference. But having married,
she must entrust her future to
the husband of her choice. If
that husband decides to divorce
her from her profession, she must
obey or unhappiness will be her
lot.
