The Divine Sarah Bernhardt

Among the many distinctions of the
Divine Sarah Is that of having i'm
personated death more frequently than
any other artist on record. Some
years ago devOtee calculated the
number Of death scenes In which Ma
dame Bernhardt had played, and COM
puted that her deaths by self-admin-
istered poison numbered over 10000,
her leaps into a scenic Seine over
1000, and her suicides by revolver
shots over 5000. The realism Of her
acting In such scenes utterly over
whelmed the Sultan, Abdul Hamid.
Once, and once only did she play be-
fore him In the private theater at Con-
stantinople, when he left his seat and
declared he never again wished to see
woman who initiated death 80
realistically.

Walter Scott's First Love,

The young woman In Walter SCOTS
first love affair was Miss Willamena
Belches, the daughter Of a baronet,
and when she and Scott were nineteen
years old they met for the first time
by accident. Scott at that time was
merely the apprentice to his father,
who was a solicitor, and no very lordly
one at that. After the young persons
had been seen much in each others
company, Scott, senior, waited upon
Sir John Belches and told him that
the affair ought not to be allowed to
proceed without his sanction. The
young woman, 1t Is presumed, satisfied
her father that she had no thought
whatever Of accepting Walter, al
though they continued to correspond
and to meet frequently. At one time
there was an understanding between
them that Scott seemed to accept as
an engagement, but the young woman
did not, and eventually she chose q
husband whose prospects were more
imposing.

cuse only France, w. @. Gregg writes
In the Outlook.
From the first gun in 1914 to the
present moment France has been the
object Of attack by the central powers.
Anti-French intrigue is as active today
as ever. Each move, each hope Of the
central powers hangs on Gripping
France. France bears the brunt Of
guaranteeing European order, and Is
recompensed by world Of suspicion
or hatred. She does not deserve crid-
cism from her former associates; she
does need their advice and their firm
support in her plan TO settle the war.
What would happen If France were
to economlze by disbanding the bulk Of
her army? Germany would change her
tone Immediately. Not one mark moro
would she pay and her own army
would rapidly take form. In one year
she would again be the principal mill
tary power of Europe, with greater re-
sources than any two other nations.
There would then be no doubt as to
who won the war.

FORGOT the Rules.

A Greek who had been in this coun-
try four years and heard many stories
about hunting rabbits, decided he
wished to go hunting. He found an
American who would take him. The
Greek thought 1t great sport. He
played dog and scared" out the rab-
bits and the American boy shot them.
After a while the Greek wished to
try his luck at shooting, so the Ameri-
can showed him how to handle the
shotgun.
They scared up rabbit; the Greek
put the gun to his shoulder, but did
not shoot.
The American exclaimed: "Why
don't you shoot3"
The Greek replied: 81 forgot which

Think IN WORDS
Mental Composition HabituaI
With Most Great Writers.
Az a Result Their Thoughts Are Eas-
lily MarshaIed When They SIT
at Their Desks.

At least one great writer, Words
worth, composed In his head, without
pencil or paper.
We are given a whimsical picture OF
his sister, Dorothy, trailing the gauht
old man over the Cumbrian hills, note
book in hand, jotting down as best
she could his Inspired dictation.
OF course, few would care to emu
late his method. Formal composition,
for most scribes, is better done on
paper where the elusive phrase is per-
manently recorded, the fugitive WORD
captured, the form and cadence of the
thing made obvious TO the eye.
Yet, in another sense mental COM
position has been habltual with all
great writer's who have been generous
enough to disclose their habits OF
thought.
They instinctively think in words.
Under the elm tree, along the trout
stream, even in the thoroughfares and
work shops of life, they are coming
phrases, silently casting what they
think and set into appropriate Ian
guage, fitting and discarding adjective
and verb in the eternal search for per-
feet expression.
Freckled newsboys, sunsets, traffic
jams, symphonies, even the abstract
meditations of reverie, pass into their
minds as phrases, TO sink, apparently
forgotten, into the storehouse Of the
unconscious mind.
When such men sit down to write
they have no need to brush the cob
webs from a neglected vocabulary.
The joints OF expression are not stih
and squeaky from long disuse.
They have spun the glorious skein
In Maynard hours, and when loom
time comes there remains only the
weaving Of the pattern.
One November evening, many years
ago, three men were crossing a heath
on the outskirts Of London. On a hill
ahead Of them stood church with q
tall spire. Suddenly the sun broke
through bank of clouds and illum-
mated its gold cross.
The autumnal silence around them,
the reminiscent SAVIOR of the heath, the
peculiar moodiness of the season and
the hour, the ominous gloom Of the
sky, the red shaft Of sunset lighting
the distant cross-all conspired to
arouse a peculiar sense of awe in the
spectators.
Yet only one word was spoken-a
reverent, spontaneous exclamation
Calvary"
And the man who said it was
Thackeray.
He had merely revealed, half aud
IDLY, the impassioned search for inc
vitable words that ever goes on in the
mind of the artist.
Perhaps it's a gitt, or an obsession,
this thinking eternally in words. Per-
haps normal mental processes would
be blocked and embarrassed by such
q habit
But 1t would at least seem lament
able that In conversation, a training
ground in which all spend so many
hours, there should be so little con-
scious effort to speak with grace and
precision, so habitual a mounting Of
stock phrases, banal flippances and
current slang.

Geo. Washington, Wilson Peace
Ship, Damaged i'm 2-Hour Fire

The steamship George Washington,
which carried President Wilson to and
from the peace conference at Ver-
sailles, burst into flames last night at
the plant of the Tietjen g. Lang Dry
Dock Company, Hoboken.
AT 1O:30, two hours after the fire was
discovered, Commissioner McFeeley OF
Hoboken announced that it was under
control. For two hours the entire Fire
Department of Hoboken, two fireboats
from New York and tugs of the Della
ware, Lackawanna & Western and the
Central of New Jersey railroads had
been fighting the flames.
The ship was in the slip which forms
the vestibule TO drydock and was
undergoing refitting preliminary to the
drydock work which would put it in
shape for the Hamburg route Of the
United States Mail Steamship Com
pany. Workmen had been busy aboard
throughout the day.
About $3.50 one of the watchmen
aboard the vessel smelled smoke and
traced it to the door Of the captains
cabin beneath the bridge. Only thin
trickle of smoke came through the
cracks of the door, and the watchman
flung it open, expecting to be able to
cope with the situation himself
He found the room q mass of flames,
which leaped out in his face. Slam
ming the door he ran for help. Two
alarms ware sent In and Commissioners
New-York tribune., 1921-06-01

McFeeley called on New York and the
railroad companies for help.
BY the time the fremen got their
lines working banners of flame were
streaming high above the bridge from
which President Wilson waved fare
we'll to the throng that gathered to
see him set out on his historic Journey
to Versailles. The whole super rstruc-
ture Of the ship was wrapped in fire.
The hremen kept it from spreading
to the vitals of the ship, however, and
although the blaze was a spectacular
one which lighted up the lower part of
the river, the damage is thought to
be comparatively slight. The cause
of the fire was not discovered. It was
said that none of the workmen had had
occasion to enter the captains quay

German Lloyd ship and made it's first
