Albert NJ. Palmer Appointed Guar
dian for Bijou Heron.
HER APPEARANCE, SITUATION AND TAI
ENTS.
NEW YORK

NEW YORK, !
March Is. :
This afternoon Albert NJ. Palmer was
appointed guardian of the young ac-
tress, Miss Helen Wallace Stoppel, 9TH
erwise known as Bjou Heron, daugh,
ter Of the late Matilda Heron, 10y
Surrogate Calvin, at her own request.
On the 9th of May, 1874, her mother
requested that MIR. James J. Traynor,
of the Snrrogate's Office, an old friend
OF hers, would act as Bijou's guardian
in case of her death. He accepted the
responsibility and duly qualified; but
as the daughter has decided to en-
brace the stage as her profession, it has
been deemed better that she should
have guardian who is able to forward
her professional interests. Althou III
she will not be fourteen till next Sep
TENDER, at which age she would have
the right to select her own guardian,
the Surrogate decided, on account of
her intelligence, to let ner choose her
own guardian. In appearance Bijou is
tall and slender. Her face is oval, her
eyes large and expressive, and her ex-
preston remarkably sweet and sympa-
thetic. She has had no real childhood,
1t may be said, owing to the grief she
has undergone on her mothers ac-
count. Some of Bjou's friends wish
that theatrical benefit lie given for
her, and that she be placed till 10 or
20 years OF age at Mount ST. Vincent,
and otter that age she can return to
the stage, should she wish il. 1t
maintained that to let her remain on
the stage while still under Ii is crnsll-
ing her young life aud destroying it's
vitality. Others say size would not
leave the stage for a fortune. Mrs.
Heron has left behind her two original
dramas. which BUou will soon cause to
be published. The daughter, it may
be mentioned, is an excellent transla-
tor of French, speaking that language
with the facility of her own.- Chicago
