PARIS, Dec. 26.-(By the Associat-
ed Press)-The household of Sarah
Bernhard was jubilant tonight over
the remarkable improvement shown
in the condition of the famous actress
The deep gloom which had settled
down upon the family and faithful fol-
lowers of the star was almost entirely
dispelled by the continued optimism
of the doctors, who have permitted
Madame Bernhardt to sit up in her
room twice during the last "a hours.
Madame Bernhardt had Christmas
dinner last night with the members
of her family and a few intimate
key and talked cheerfully and hope
fully of her return to the footlights.
She was beginning to believe, she said
that she would be spared to act ten
years more. She confided. to friends,
however, that she expected to assume
her role in the new Guitry play that
was about to be produced when she
was stricken, within three weeks.
The physicians smiled when Mad
anne Bernhardt INDUCED in this three
weeks talk. merely saying, "pehhaps."
They frankly stated, however, that
the divine Sarah's' condition was
very weak, her long years of hard
work on the boards having told upon
her, and that it was quite possible it
would be many months before she was
able to appear in public. There are
not lacking, indeed, those who think
Bernhardt may never act again.
The few old and faithful servants
who have followed Madame Bern
hardt around the world through for
tune and adversely, presented touch

joyed at the prospect of their mis-
tress' return to health.
