A BOUT 100 years ago, in the
N city Of Rheims, France. was
a. a troupe Of italian children,
who went about the cafes singing
and dancing. In this group Of
young artists were two sisters.
The eldest sang, and her little sis
ter, just four years old. collected
pennies from the amused Specta-
tors.
These two little girls were not
Italians. They had been born In
Switzerland. Their parents were
Alsatian peddlers and their wan.
derings had brought them to
France.
Little Elizabeth Felix-for that
was the name Of the serious little
tot who so .energetically took up
the collection soon wanted to
sing herself. SO she selected the
'Marseillaise" for her part Of the
program, and sang It with such
fervor and spirit that she soon at
tracted the attention Of Choron,
the famous singing teacher.
This kind man took the two
children to Paris and taught
them singing without recompense.
Sophia, the elder girl, gained q
medal for singing. But tho
younger sister turned her ener-
giles to the study Of elocution and
dramatic art.
Her voice IN speaking was
powerful. but had q rasping,
harsh tone. which discouraged
her instructors. It was only her
determination and industry which
encouraged them to continue
teaching her.
Little did they dream that the
plain. slight little girl would one
day be Rachel" the famous
actress, whose name has como
down in history as the greatest
tragedienne Of all time.
Rachel worked and studied
without ceasing until she changed
the tone of her voice, which was
naturally unpleasant, to one rich
and melodious.

WORDS FROM
THE LIPS OF
WISE MEN

THIS world belongs to the en-

A friend IL the first one to

What makes life weary IL the
want Of motive.
Who reads not many but good
books,

To think everything dispurable
is a proof of weak mind and
captious temper.
He is happy whose circum.
stances suit his temper, but he
is more excellent who can suit
his temper to any circumstances.
Better be despised for too
anxious approximations than ruined
by too confident security.
AS the calling dignifies the
man, so the man much more ad-
Vances his calling.
You may keep your beauty and
your health unless you destroy

, Tragedy was her forte. It was
during the passionate portrayal
Of malignant and evil characters
that she became transformed.
Her plain features became bril-
liant as she acted with q genius
and art which has been unsur-
passed. She became irresistibly
fascinating to the thousands who
nocked to see her and she in
creased In power az the years
rolled by.
Rachel made her debut when
she was seventeen. At twenty
three she was acknowledged q
great actress.
This artist Of unique genius ex-
celled in the tragedies Of Racine
and Corneille. She played Jeanne
d'Arc and Cleopatra with marked
success. But perhaps her great
est triumph was in "Adienne
Lecouveur."
In London. in 1910, Rachel
achieved the greatest success Of
her life. This was followed by a
tour Of the capitals Of Europe,
which was like a royal process
sion, so feted and honored was
she. Rachel was not only ad-
nired for her art, but was much
sought after because of her
charming personality and bril-
liant wit.
After this remarkable success,
q voyage to America was made.
Unfortunately, It Was while In
America that Rachel contracted
a cold, which resulted in her
death from tuberculosis. The be-
ginning Of her breakdown was
without a doubt the reason for
the semi-failure in which her trip
to the United States resulted.
Rachel spent her last days in
the south Of France, where she
had gone in search Of health.
She died when she was but thir-
ty-eight years old, but she had
made her life an acknowledged
success long before that time.
