Metropolitan Opera House Manager
Found Pretty Surprise.
When Manager l.. N. Scott, of the Met
ropolttan opera house, returned late Sat
urday night from business visit to the
Metropolitan in Minneapolis, he found
confronting him on his desk a handsome
bronze statue of demure young woman
with harp, Moreau's La Pensee." The
statue had been left on the desk by the
employees, whose custom it has been to
make the manager present Christmas
morning for several years. But the re-
turn of Mr.. Scott on this occasion was I'M
expected, and he thus escaped the pre-
sentation speech which usually goes with
such things. He said he was glad-to get
the statuette, in spite Of the fact that it
was not accompanied by the vocal ex-
preston Of the esteem Of mis- business
coadjutCrs.
