wonder, a show" all in himself. Last
evening, when little Emma Schultz had
successfully given the songs and dances
allotted to her, Manager QIinlin stepped on
the stage and begged the patience OF the
audience moment. He then addressed
Emma, spoke Of the high regard in which
she was held by the company, and the
esteem each member had for her, and bore
witness to her modest demeanor, correct
department and kindness Of heart. 1t was
her fourteenth birthday, and the members Of

a ring, which he then did, with expressions
of wishes for her happiness and for a long life.
| The ring is of gold and set with fourteen
jewels. The little girl, evidently entirely
surprised, was too embarrassed to reply. The
audience enjoyed the scene very much, as
something entirely new and not on the pro-
grarnme.
