Paris. July 21.-The divine Sara has
come and gone. Like a meteor in the
night she sparkled for a moment in
gay Partisan life, then vanished to her
Belle Isle estate, leaving behind only
memories of an undiminished youth
ful vivacity, and a host of stories
which have left Paris gaping at their
audacity. Nine. Bernhard spread it on
so very, very thick that her friends
are inclined to think that she is either
trailing for competition with the IA
bled prevaricators of old or endeavor-
ing to extract "A little innocent amuse-
ment from "A hos. of friends whose ig
nOrance of all things American make
them susceptible to the wiles of trav-
cling acquaintances.
One of the least of Nine Bern
hardt's tales of adventure centered

a beast which had happy faculty of
increasing in size with each recount
ing. Nine. Bernhard 1t seems slew
this wild and savage reptile in the
bayous of the Mississippi. In proof
thereof she brought back the gun with
which the deed was done, and a tiny
pomeranian dog which was used. she
said, as bait on that memorable occa-
sion.

In the middle of September she will
go to London for week or two, re-
turning to the Gay City to play "Lu-
D.

which couples her name with that Of
the Prince of Wales. Der Roland" a
weekly magazine, reports that Emper-
or William actually made the remark
credited to him. 81 will not sacrifice
my little one to politics"
The Empress and Queen Mary are
almost puritanical in their ideas and
have brought up their children in
"the straight and narrow path" so
that the young people are well match
ed In their mothers eyes at least
Yet SO fondly does the Emperor love
his favorite daughter that no effort
will be made to compel her to marry
anybody unless she loves him. Every
opportunity will be given her to meet
her young Royal cousin and find out
whether she would like to be his wife;
but nothing definite Is likely to be
said or done. Der Roland" asserts,
for at least four years. as she is only
eighteen and the Prince of Wales is
younger still.
