A pr,ma Donn4s Hobby

Miss Josephine Stanton, of the
Lyrics, one of the most successful
and prettiest of American prima
donna sopranos, like numerous
similar artists who have swept
through the States on the high
wave of popularity, has followed
IN the footsteps OF her brilliant
operate sisters by indulging in a
hobby.
Sarah Bernhardt used to have a
pug tiger for a pet; Fanny Dayen;
port cute alligator; Lillian Rus
sci her Signor Perrigenni; Nodes
ka a boisterous parrot and Mary
Anderson a singularly tempered
pug dog, which used to kick up all
sorts of riots with peaceful guests
of hotels about the country.
There are known to be two or
three young women of the stage
who have gone so far as to have
diamond solitaires imbedded in
their pearly teeth. A'er
Miss Stanton, Of the Boston
Lyric Opera Company, however,
for novelty and genuine unique,
ness, has quite outdistanced all
the rest with her three pet turtles.
just why she selected turtles IL
become a part and parcel of her
busy life no ore seems to know.
She may frequently be seen in the
cities in which the Boston Lyric
Opera Company plays in the
parks with her turtles, especially
if the aforesaid parks are fortun
ate enough to possess a body OF
water. Her turtles are put in har
ness SO that to escape from theil
fair mistress is impossible. The
harness is attached to them by Q
curious little bit which the tur
ties hold in it's mouth. One Of
these turtles is wrapped in q
gaudy blanket on which it's name
is outlined in gaily colored silk
When not promenading they are
kept in a silk.lined hamper-shapet
basket.
| OF course she named one aftel
Dewey and another Schley ant
another Sampson, and that they
are worthy namesakes is admittct
from the fact that the two lattel
cannot get along well together.
The harness is made of silver
chains with tiny bells that jingle
at every movement.
