CURTAIN FALLS ON CAREER OF
 DIVINE SARAH
Famous French Actress Enacts, Death Scene
 on Lifes s Stage
WHOLE NATION MOURNING
Compatriots Gather to Pay Tribute to
 Artist

PARIS, March 27. Mime. Sarah Bernhardt, the most distinguished ac- tress of the French stage, and one of the greatest tragediennes of history, died yesterday afternoon. Today all France is in mourning for it's well-be- loved daughter. Not since the death of Victor Hugo has the country been so stirred by the passing of a great parsonage. With Hugo and Pasteur Mme Bernhardt shared the distinc- tion of being one of the most illustri- ous persons in the last hundred years of French history. It is thus fitting that the public which idolized her and which she in turn held so close to her heart, should have fingered reverent- ly in the soft spring night last night outside her house, sharing the vigil with the mourning family within. At midnight with the closing of the city's theaters, people of the stage came to pay tribute to their illustrious con- rade. Today the body of the actress, dauntless and indefatigable to the last in spite of great physical handi- caps and suffering, lies on bed cov- cred with flowers, tall candles burn ing on either side a crucifix, and on a little table nearby vessel of holy water. Still too overcome with grief this morning to discuss funeral ar engagements, her bereaved family have not announced the plans for the obse- quies.

"The Sea Woman"

In all Legendary lore from Isis and
Osiris to the days of Robin Hood
there is nothing that is so fascinat-
ing, SO tremendous as that which sur
rounds the Vikings of the north,
these sailor men of ancient days who
ventured forth on the terrifying sea,
whose ends they knew not of, whose
limits were beyond ken, with joy in
their hearts, a smile in their eyes
and a cheer on their lips to their
women who waved them goodbye
from the shore. And those women,
not one whit weaker and not one step
less adventurous than their mates,
went back to their weaving, sewing
and the rearing of their man child, to
become the warrior his father was.
Like their long-haired, brawny, fight
ing males, they feared nothing that
swan the sea, walked the land or
flew in the air.
