TWO ACTRESSES.
By EDWIN A. ME.


TWO ACTRESSES. It is reported from Paris that Sarah Bernhardt is making aAkher attempt to secure admission into the Legion of Honor
 Two or three years ago Bernhardt tried to get into the charmed circle of French distinction, but the cabinet refused to adopt t4e action of the council
 It is to be hoped she again will be unsuccessful and that she never may be allowed to wear the bit of red rib bon on her breast
 And that is not b>artless wish.
 When Napoleon Ronaparte instituted the order and decoration of the Legion of Honor he decreed that no perso. with a questionable past should be ad- mitted. Doubtless the rule has been viola ted, but it is nevertheless the rule. Sarah Bernhardt is woman of great genius, but
 Her life as it is known and read of all men. has not been above reproach.
 
 codes Her career has been checkered with many lapses and escapades.
 It may seem a hard thing to remind woman of her past delinQuencies, but Bernhardt is a public character. She is seeking public honors. The public morals are concerned. Punishment must follow violation or the standards must be lowered
 Much is pardoned to genius-too much. And when genius is persistent iy sinful it must be made to suffer the same as mediocrity- more so.
 It is pleasing to turn from the ca rcer of this French actress to that of Clara Morris, the American actress, who is about the age of Bernhardt and who is spending her declining years in the love and esteem of all the people.
 Though poor in purse, because of her generosity, Clara Morris is rich in char. acter
 She. too, like Bernhardt. came up through great tribulaton. She too. had genius and strove But our Americap stage celebrity, like her con- temporary. Mary Anderson, walked al- ways the paths of rectitude and right eousncss. Clara Morris and Mary An derson. One names these women al- most with veneration.
 When misfortune came to the for naer an admiring world offered gifts and tribute.
 It is well that Americans should hon. or Clara Morris and that the French people should refuse to decorate their brilliant actress with loose morals. Because:
 The world everywhere needs q re- vival of the stern teachings of moral obligation and clean living. And de- linquency in high places must not be condoned
 The French nation cannot afford to lower the ideals of feminine honor, even for the sake of genius.

PROVIDES FOR
 WEES FUNDS
Chicago Couple Enter In to a Strange Compact distinguishing All Dover and Inheritance Right and Agree. ing Upon Fixed Payments to the Wife.

Chicago, July 3o.-Lake Forest so- clety was given a surprise yesterday when two well known residents of the suburb filed for record d compact which in other cases might be ex- pected 10 accompany proceedings for a legal separation.
 But-in this case it is nothing of the sort. The parties involved are Henry Gordon Strong and Mrs. Margaret Hubbard Strong. Mir. Strong is a son of Gen. Henry Strong and member of the Chicago Union League and the Onwentsla Clubs. Mr. and Mrs. Strong reside in Lake Forest, and at present are making their home al Cnwentsia Club
 By the terms of the compact, which was placed on record, Mir and Mrs Strong both release all dover of in heritance rights from each other. while Mir. Strong agrees to pay to his wife $4.000 a year for the first ten years after July l, 1908; $4.50O a year for the second 10 years, and thereaf- ter s5,00o a year until her death Mir Strong declared today that the ar range1:ents would facilitate" his wife's financial affairs He said that Mrs. Strong goes to Europe alone ire quently and that he wanted her to be able to manage her own affairs and not to be left utterly helpless
 The agreement provides that pay ments shall not be cancelled by the death of MT. Strong, but shall con tlnue an obligation on his estate. They shall cease in the event of the death Of Mrs Strong
