Sarah Bernhardt, the noted singer, will arrive
in New York October 10 for another "farewell"
tour of America. In years she was old enough
to have been expected to retire from the stage a
generation or so ago, but if she retains her vigor
and her voice, and at the age of 70 is still able to
carry her audiences to the sublimest heights in
art and melody, what matters her three score and
ten?—RusSellville (Ark.) Courier Democrat.
