Timely Millinery
BERNHARDT STILL YOUTHFUL
The emotional, fervid and ever youthful Bern
hardt is once again in our midst. With a reper
toire of 24 plays, she will tour this country for :
six montts and will then visit Cuba and Mexico.
Of coarse, "the Divine Sarah" how manv million
times has she been called that? has made the
inevitable statement that this is her farewell
tour, but American theater-goers are hardened.
disillusioned. The most trusting patron of the
drama, whose wide-eyed belief in the truth of
many stage legends is almost pathetic, becomes
cynical and peevish when the term "farewell
tour" is used in connection with any celebrity,
most of all Sarah of the burnished tresses. Sarah
has "farewelled" too often.
But when you get right down to it, who
J wants her to retire, anyway? When a woman of
67 can play the part of a lithesome lad of 19 play it wonderfully, with all
the grace and vivacity which the role demands why should she retire?
fWhy shouldn't she go right on playing until she's 100 if she wants to? If
Sarah has this idea in mind and certainly it seems that she has she can
count on Americans backing her up for many a long year to come.
It has been said 4n fact one reads it in every account of Mme. Bern
hardfs career, that she looks barely half her age. That, of course, isn't so;
to say that the world-famous French actress appears to be only about 34 off
the stage "In real life" is an exaggeration. But that her figure is as slender
and straight as any girl's, her eyes bright and her complexion clear and
healthy, cannot be denied.
Interested in every question of the day, well informed on many of them,
a sculptor, painter and poet of no mean ability, as well as the greatest living
actress, Sarah Bernhardt is a wonderfully interesting individual. One quality
.which she possesses to a marked degree Is seldom mentioned and that is her
womanliness motherliness perhaps expresses this charactristic better. Those
near and dear to her her son and his wife and the little grandchild to whom
the Is devoted for instance do not know her as "brilliant " "fWiTH -
"intense." but merely as a tender-hearted woman of many lovable qualities.
She keeps the dramatic, artistic side of her nature for the sensation-loving
public.

A life of sin must end in a lff n
shame. A man's conduct always comes
back to him. Jacob deceived his fath

row of deceit and falsehood at the
hands of his eleven sons. The Tran
who swindles to make his fortune will
most surely reap loss and ruin at the
swindler's hand.
Note also that God carries on His
purpose despite the sin of those en
trusted with power. God will still be
God after all, and He Is the last one
with whom we must reckon. We shall
not be able to foil His purpose nor
thwart His plan. Our resistance shall
only become our ruin. Ablmelech
found It so. Might could not make
right and error shall not stand. That
man or nation that persists In wrong
doing God shall set aside and it shall
fall. We call ours a great nation and
it is, but we have some grievous sins
laid to our charge. Our civilization is
fast leaving God out and has little re
gard for His eternal law. We often
.weigh with a false weight and sell
with a false measure. Right is often
changed to suit the occasion while
men in high places set up false stand

and greed and wrong shall become our
undoing for we are dealing with God
as well as with man. If we continue
to resist and break His law He shall
cause the destroyer to rise up in our

Then, again, I think this text clear

it is God's cause. Not so much it is
because God is on our side, but rather
because we are on the side that God
