Susanna Despres kept a day book whllo making her Egyptian tour, nnd has pubplied some chapters which she thinks "may be of a little interest to others besides myself." Under tho head "A Camel Itlde," sho says: "It was between tho Pyramids and the Sphinx. One of the Uedoulns who has the ugly, slow going, stupid looking animals for hire, asked In broken German: 'Will you ride on nlsmarck?' evidently tnklng mo for a German. 'No,' said L 'Then try Chamberlain,' he said In bad English, and I saw the point. His animals have names In koeplng with the nationality ot his customers. 'I am French,' I said to him, and he smiled broadly and said: 'Ah, madanio, then ride Sarah Bernhardt,' Bern-hardt,' and I did, and I was proud, ton, for I saw that Bornhardt's greatness was acknowledged even in the desert." |
