Heart to Heart Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE,
SIXTY-SEVEN YEARS YOUNG. Sarah Bernhardt, the changeless, tireless "eternal child," will make another tour of the country. And she past sixty-seven! Bernhardt was born in 1845 and was already distinguished during our civil war. Her son, Maurice, now u grandfather, was born in 1865. Half a decade ago Bernhardt was a great grandmother. Nevertheless They say her marvelous golden voice Is strong as ever and her tremendous energy knows no abatement. A recent writer says that in her sea girt home In France she appears to be a bright, active, beaming laughing wo
man of thirty, with the grace and health of a colt No grandmotherly raiment for her. When Bernhardt goes hunting she wears short flannel skirts and jaunty jacket. She runs wild with a troop of dogs at her heels, a gun over her shoulder. She whistles and sings and dances in sheer high spirits and is the youngest of the crowd. Her endurance is marvelous. Last year she traveled 25,000 miles in this country, played 285 dates and received $802,000. It was almost worth the price as an object lesson In courage, energy and concentration. Bernhardt herself is greater than any drama she plays. How does she do it? No mere man may know how she has mastered the details of the toilet and bodily hygiene, so well known to Frenchwoman, by which she retains her youthful appearance. However It easily may be said that first of all Is this woman's dominant will power. She is a living example of the power of mind over matter. Having willed to remain young she executes her will. Thoughts, if you know how to use them, are things! Moreover She keeps young by constant touch and sympathy with young persons. She always has young people about ber. She understands them, forbears them, loves them. And so she stands A living epistle of youth. And this is her doctrine: Will to be young. Think the thoughts of youth Associate with youth. Refuse to be old. Will to be young in bodv and in spirit.
Everybody invited to Y. M. C. A. "open house" all day. FOOD FOR A GENIUS.
Diet That Enabled Mrs. Siddons to Rita to Lady Macbeth. It is not altogether easy to imagine a Lady Macbeth eating chops. Yet her greatest impersonntor got her inspiration from them, if one may rely on an altogether delightful authority. On a certain occasion, writes E. V. Lucas in his book "The Second Tost," the painter Haydon paid his butcher, who reciprocated by expressing great admlration for the artist's painting of "Alexander." "Quite alive, sir," said the butcher. "I am glad you think so, said the artist. "Yes, sir; but, as I have often said to my sister, you could rot have paiutd that picture, sir, if you had not eat my meat, sir." "Very true, Mr. Sowerby." "Ah, sir, I have a fancy for gen'us, lr." "Hare you, Mr. SowerbyT "Yes, sir. Mrs. Siddons, sir. has eat lay meat, sir. Never was such a woman for chops, sir! Ah. sir. she was a wonderful crayture!" "SI vas. Mr. Sowerby." "Ah. sir. when she used to act that there character but. Lord, such a head, as I say to uiy sister that there woman, sir, that murders a kins: between 'em." "Oh. Lady Macbeth." "Ah. sir, that's it-Lady Macbeth. I used to get up with the but.er behind fcer carriage wheu she acted, and 1 used to see her looking quite wild and ail the people- quite frightened. Aha. my lady.' says 1. if it wasn't for my meat, though, you wouldn't be able to do that!"
BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. This is a day of shams. You can never tell what anything really is from the outside, from the "looks" or from what the othrs tell you about it. This may or may not include people. Of course it does. A certain police matron avows that you can tell nothing from the face. Stating that some of the most hardened feminine offenders have the most innocent and appealing facial makeups. That, if she wasn't experienced, she would be deceived over and over again. You know how it is yourself. Some of the fairest seeming are the ones to be detoured around.
the latter can always tell a habitual criminal. But not always an occasional or temporary one. Take a few deep sea observations of pictures in the paper, for example. You open the page to be confronted by a group of bandits, who, upon a second scanning, turn out to be an ag-
i grepation cf ministers attending a con
ference or the delegates to a banker's convention. Then land with both eyes upon the picture of a well set up young man platted out on the Howard Chandler Christy specifications and beneath you will see the name of some wife murderer or train robber. School teachers can give you significant pointers. That sometimes the nice, well-mannered, unobtrusive little boy or girl is he or she who stirs up all the devilment. Shop-lifters frequently have angel faces. , No "you can't always sometimes tell." Not even about milady's complexIon or the polish on the arts and crafts furniture or the glitter to your new
j Christmas ring or the taste of the al
leged oyster pattie. Nor the loving handclasp of the candidate not yet the compliments of your dearest friends. Nor still the scheen on oriental rug. At least so says Mr. Henry Hagan, a well known lawyer of Chicago, temporarily in this city. Mr. Hagan is a rug connoisseur and can quote all the authorities. But he has become a connoisseur not through a fad for collecting although he has some beautiful examples of the oriental weaver's art but through proceedings instituted by the big dealers in oriental rugs in Chicago who practically, in this manner, ran out the rug fakirs in that metropolis. These gentry, familiar to the smaller as well as the larger cities, are the most plausible of their sort. Very few people are rug experts. Or, indeed, have little knowledge to apply to the indentification of the genuine. Many of the alleged oriental rugs, says Mr. Hagen, are what are termed "analine" rugs. That is they are so cleverly dyed and prepared that it is difficult to tell them from the genuine. But analine rugs fade in two year's time. The real product of the orient does not fade at all. There is a certain genius in New York that can turn out these analine wonders, says Mr. Hagan, overnight. But there is one way to discover the deception and that is to get at the "roots," of the rug. If the latter are light reversing the dark-haired woman who bleaches her hair they are analine. It is the custom of the rug fakir in Chicago, or was, said Mr. Hagan, to watch the advertisements of the big dealers as Marshall Field and then on the same day, or a day previous, to open up an auction near tlie place where the rug sale was advertised. In this way they caught the unwary, the careless, the floater and other shopping incunabula looking for bargains. They have their set of hirelings who run bids up until they are taken by he, or she, who is impressed by the more or less dizzy figure of anything. And who will at once swallow the bait. Although he or she is mac to believe that he is bing very canny,
very cautious, very clever and very expert. In one instance detectives tracked one of these minions of the auction fakir to her home in a remote, obscure and Bhabby quarter and found that her feet were literally on thts ground. In other words that she had a hole in her shoe from which a more or less dainty toe protruded And yet she had run the bids on a certain alleged oriental carpet up to fourteen hundred dollars. Leaving after that having completed her part of the bargain. But the old man, who was the prey in this particular instance, for some reason or other did not bid further. They were trying to pet him up to fifteen hundred. He was at something this side of fourteen when the woman bid that number and they were confident the old man had been landed. Mr. Hagan, with the corps of detectives that he had at his disposal, ran these gentry to cover and made a general expose of their methods of operation. And with the result that there is little rug faking of that description now pre alent in Chicago. If the puhlic patronizes such auctions it is through choice, not ignorance. The people who are fooled on rugs, however, are no greater in number than those fooled about a lot of other objects that come within the domain of the arts. In yesterday's papers was chronicled the shipping from the big packinghouse of horses hoofs car-loads of them. These to Japan. Where the canny Jap manufactures them into curios for the consumption of the guileless American globe trotter who returns and loads up his friends with oriental mementoes. And the story is still fresh of the Tanagra figures purchased by a certain great museum which were, later, found to have been made out of New Jersey mud. Everybody knows about the shameless frauds of the art dealers. The high class dealers. Of the old masters manufactured in the back alleys of Paris and sold for fabulous sums to the foreign "suckers" in the auction rooms. Of Raphaels dug out of old stables, retouched and hung in the galleries of would be connoisseurs. Of Murillos discovered in old barrels, and Rubens lost masterpieces fished off the ash heap. Every now and then you will read these things in the papers. And they not only happen in Paris and other effete continental capitals but in the U. S. A. Down in New Orleans and up in New York. Only a few years ago a deception was practiced even in this brilliant art center. A certain St. Loulsian sent an alleged rescued Inness to this city for a try-oat. Depending on our reputation for artistic cannlness. The fakirs alwaj-3 go for the alleged art centers and the near-connoisseurs. Knowing well that this is their field for operation. For the art fakir is not only a rascal but a cynic. A merry cynic, he, for well he knows that where connoisseurship is flaunted, there will he find the eagerest nibbling for his bait.
WHAT CLEAN BLOOD MEANS They used to accuse Dr. A. B. Simpson, one of the famous physicians of Indiana, of having a cure-all because his great reputation was established largely on one prescription, the most effective alterative or blood-purifier known. "No," he would remark, "It will not cure consumption, nor typhoid, nor any one of a hundred common diseases. It simply purifies the blood, but it does that very thoroughly." What are the symptoms of poisoned, impure blood? They range all the way from the dreadful syphilis to a muddy complexion. They include inflammatory rheumatism, catarrh, scrofula, eczema, erysipelas, pimples, boil3, running sores and a number of similar afflictions. All these yielded readily to Dr. Simpson's treatment. And during the forty years this preparation has teen on the market as Dr. A. B. Simpson's Vegetable Compound it has never failed in a single case. The very worst cases of syphilis have been cured as veil as all the other blood diseases u&med above and the same compound has always given clear, clean complexions to those, otherwise iu fcoodj health. It is sold at f 1.00 a bottle at all drug stores.
