a Rernhardt Trick.

Nine. Sarah Bernhard, who is sup
posed to be something of an artist as
we'll IS an actress, was recently call
ed upon in n Of her marvellous crea-
tons to enact the role of a sculptor,
and to model a certain bust in view of
the audience. This fairly electrified
the critics, but when going into rhap-
sodies over the technical skill in nan
ding the clay which Nine. Bernhard
exhibited they showed that they knew
little of the artistic tricks of actors
and actresses; as a matter Of fact, she
does nothing of the kind. The bust
is modelled and baked, and over it is
placed damp clay of the same color.
This the talented actress merely pulls
off, exposing the beautifully modelled
head underneath.

DISCLOSURES OF A WILL
Prominent London Barrister Found to
Have Been Welded to His Serv-
ant for Many Years.

One Of the most unusual
In many years Was unfolded in Lon
don ecently by the death of Arthur
Joseph Munby, a prominent barrister
of Fig Tree Court. So years old. His
will disclosed the fact that for more
than thirty-seven years he was welded
to Hannah Cullwick, a servant. and
though the world did not know of the
union, he was devoted to her and she
had as her highest ambition to serve
him and cook for him. He spent many
months of each ear with her in Shift
nal, and her relatives knew Of the
wedding, but his relatives were ignor-
ant of the marriage. So devoted was
Munby that he wrote verse to her. She
did not care for books and learning
and she had no comprehension of the
vast learning Of her husband or his
wealth. She did not want to be de.
pendent upon him and was accustomed
practically all her life to work out.
N1unby had ample means to support
her luXuriously, but she did not want
to live in London, hating the city.
Munby's business required him to
spend part of the year there, but the
remainder of the time was devoted to
his wife. She died a few months be.
fore him, at the age of 81, but Munby
did not change his will in which re
referred to her as a servant and said
of her: Hannah has always refused
and still refuses to have the position
which as my wife she might and could
have had, and has always insisted, and
still insists, on being my servant as
we'll as my wife, her one grievance be.
ing that she cannot be my only serv.
ant, and whereas owing chiefly to this
noble and unseliish resolve of hers ]
have never been able to make known
of my said marriage to my family, or
to the world at large. and the same is
known only to her kindred and three
of my most intimate college friends,
of whom Robert Spencer Borland
knows the full circumstances and
knows her Dersonally.'-New York

For Young Housekeepers.

An acceptable engagement present
for the girl who expects to go tc
housekeeping in a small apartment is
a set of cook books in a small rack
the size to stand in the pantry. Stand
books and all are not more than sis
inches square, yet contain a numbe!
of valuable recipes.
The little books are attractively
bound in red or green leather, with
gilt edges, and the titles lettered or

tails. a book on odd dishes, on sand
wiches and on the chatting dish.
