A Mistake

lt is a mistake to suppose that the histrionic profession is treated in England or France with more social honor than here. B ichel was in 1841, wlien Bhe caine iiit, received in Eöiidoiï with great distinotion, but on si ■■ vhen storiesgot abro uawíng rooms were no , to her. Slie was again tlie guest of the sovereign ; the royal duebees lieid aloof, Sarah Bernhardt had to repeat the same txperiences, and London followed the example of Paris, where the statliest ladies of the Faubouig flrst sought her, then turned coldly íroni her. The theatrical profession, with rare exceptions, is not reoeived in fashionable society in Englaud or France.
