Prompted Miss Ellen Terry.

Miss Ellen Terry a few weeks ago wns giving a Shakespearean recitation of an entertainment in aid of a war fund, nnd a lnrge part of her audience were the girls from a widely known Chelsea school. Knowing every line by heart, they were following the recital with breathless attention. Suddenly Miss Terry faltered and, as often happens on the stage, the actress’ mind for one moment became a blank. Then, Just as the pause threatened to become awkward, the small, ringing voice of a twelve-year-old schoolgirl gave the necessary words. —London Mirror.
