How Henriette soBtag Became Connect.
ed with the Berlin Theater.
When the theater was founded in
Berlin in 1924 the directors sought TO
gain special talent for the Young stage
In order to secure rich dividends.
Henriette Sontag, who was then
eighteen, wa the rising meteor on the
artistic horizon. Two of the directors
iourneyed to Leipsic in order TO induce
the artistic to sign a contract for several
years.
In Leipsic they met messengers from
other theatres. who surrounded the
lovely singer with the same appeal.
After days of negotiation they made no
Roadway A rich financier from Ber-
lin. tired Of the delay. adopted meas
ures which could not fail to have the
desired effect upon the young and pref
ty but poor artistic.
He bought "A beautiful shawl. and
presenting il to the singer he pointed
to the pen TO sign the contract
Never had Henriette Sontag possessed
20 pretty an article q apparel. Com
pletely overcome by the splendor of so
rich a gift. she tn ned TO her sister
Nina and said. Nina. I am faint;
please sign"
SO she was bouT Z 10y a contract, and
formed the chief attraction for three
years not only Of he theater but of the
city of Berlin.
The receipts a. the theater were enor-
nous, yet Ne ,eral shareholders re-
preached the managers of the treasury
for making unnecessary expenditures,
and demanded. therefore. strict ac-
count for the use of the money.
These expenditures were soon made
public, and il soon came out in the
newspapers that the shawl which the
singer received in Ieipsic was present
ed without the consent Of the share
holders.
The morning this fact a published
IN the papers Fraulein Sontag sealed
up the valuable p~reAeut. and. with true
womanly tact. sent &c to the directors
Of the theater.
Her messenger had scarcely uttered
the assembly room when tie Le-gs Of
the occurrence spread all over tire city,
and in the evening 81 the same day a
Turkish shawl lay on the singers toilet
table. 1t had been sent by the king
and was more valuable than the first
one.
Early the following day the hnancier
and director Of the theater, who had
given her the shawl in IeiDsie was an
nouneed and as he presented her with
a far c~ostlier shawl he jokingly re-
preached the lovely Henriette for Civ
ing away his present and begged her
not to let this one share the same fate.
This present was from himself indepen-
dent of the shareholders.
Finally, by a unanimous decree, the
directors appeared in a body before the
public's favorite to restore the shawl in
question TO its rightfud owner. -Phila-

To his already large collection ofzOo
logical specimens a young Maine nat
uralist every summer adds several val
liable species from the hills of Oxford
county, his trips usually extending into
the White mountains of New Hamp
shire.
One day he came home with a pair
Of reptiles he had long coveted. Now he
had a compartment especially fitted to
hold his collection, but those species
hardest to obtain and consequently
most priced were kept in his sleeping
room, and his lately acquired treasures
were too precious to be trusted out Of
sight.
The next morning he casually 70
