From n shoe shop TO IA Royal Paisce-What
"Her Majesty" Did in New York.
II is not generally known that one OF the
queens of Europe at the present time Is an
American lady Of decidedly humble descent.
She Is the wife Of King Ferdinand Of Portugal
who, nnding the duties Of his ONCE incongenaI
to his retiring tastes, abdlcated a few years ago
and. making during trip to Paris the acquaint-
Ance Of a very goOd-looking actress, offered her

Victor Emanuel, and as Her Majesty" by
toSr attendants and servants
King Ferdinands wife was born in 1910, in
Boston, where her father was poor German
shoemaker, and she has many acquantances in
New York. Her name previous to her marriage
was Eliza Hensler. She attended the public
schools Of her native city until she was fourteen
shocked girl, with large blue eyes, and a wealth
Of golden ringlets. Moreover, she possessed a

vailed upon her old father TO let him send her
pared for the stage, The old man Joyfully CON
tented Young Eliza proved very excellent
RgPi' ana 9 tT2 years S alteT%aTd she made her
Arditis opera "The Spv." Although Nine. La
grange sang In the same piece, Miss Hensler
Tor the season. Her brother, or cousin, who had
enabled her to appear at the Academy of Music
was al that time leader OF the chorus, and re-
NAMED In that position for several yeArs after
ward. In 1858 Miss Hensler returned To Boston
and appeared there on the stage with decided
success. She then went TO Paris to study her
profession more thoroughly under Aubsr and
Thomas. and sang repeatedly at the Grand Opera,
without, however, meeting with much encourage
ment. She was glad TO accept an engagement at
lhe royal opera Of Lisbon, where. she sang for
several years, and became great fayorite OF the
public. IL was there already, perhaps, that King
Ferdinand became acquainted with and enam-
pured Of her but the Kings nrst wife was then
alive, and IL was not until after her death that
he made advances TO Miss Eliza Hensler, who
had meanwhile returned TO Paris, where she
made a somewhat precarious living by giving
music lessons, a severe cold having greatly i'm
paired the beauty and strength Of her voice.
Her royal husband Is said TO be exceedingly
fond Of his Boston wife. They have two chill
hren, and their happiness Is much commented d
upon in Lisbon, where II is well known that the
present king does not live on the best of terms
with his highborn Italian consort.
