Her Last New York Visit.
And Curious Scene

! remember when last saw her in New
York, three or four years ago. She had
lost her leg and was about to be operated
upon for some other trouble I had re-
ceived a telegram asking me to come to
lunch at the Savoy Hotel, where she occu
pied a suite of six rooms. For some unac.
countable reason the maid who opened the
door that day did not announce me to her
mistress and as I stood, unnoticed, upon
the threshold Of the room witnessed a
curious scene.
Bernhardt was at a small table laid for
two. Her back was turned to the windows.
On the right and left of her were two
maids busily arranging the folds OF her
dress and the laces OF her sleeves that
nearly covered her hands But Madame
seemed angry, audibly angry. Her steel
gray eyes were so busy flashing dsapproval
at the two landmarks and her vividly
painted lips so busy expostuating with

appear on the stage of the Metropolitan
Opera and speak for the cause as she had
never spoken before-if she lived.
But subsequent events, her long illness
after the operation and an apathy on the
part of the money giving public became
obstacles insurmountable

OF course she could. 1t was an hour
after she had sent up her card.

For Mme Bernhardt left the States at

their percentage of her income from

the diving youngsters calling up to us for
