MARYGARDEN LURED
BY $25O,OOO OFFER
Besides Concert Tour She Has
Chance to Create New Char
acter in Movies.

Miss Mary Garden mas not yet re-
signed as director-general Of the Chi
cago Opera Company, but yesterday she
reaffirmed her inclination to sever her
managerial relations with the company
and expressed her desire to remain with
IT as singer She made known her
contemplated plans through her per-
sonal representative, Howard z. Potter,
who said for her:
AS Miss Garden rs singing tonight
and must rest to-day she has asked
me to say for her that she has not re-
signed as managing director of the
Chicago Opera Company, but she is
considering doing so If by so doing she
VIII not embarrass the company II
she does remain with the company 1t
Will be as an artist She loves Chicago
and its people, who havev been SO loyal
to her.
But Miss Garden is not wealthy. She
has an offer Of $250.000 from Charles
Wagner for a seasons concerts. She
also has a movie offer with an oppor-
tunity to create role in which she
has never appeared. The movie offer
extremely interesting.
She regards herself as an artist and
a creator OF roles rather than q busi-
moss woman. AS an operatic director
she has to do a great many things that
are injurious to the singing voice. In
a word, business is taking her away
from her forte In life. It may not be
generally known that Miss Garden re-
ceives no income from the Chicago Com
pany beyond her salary as a singing
artist The financial problem she faces
as director general is tremendous one.
Sne thinks 1t win be settled and the
fature Of the company assured by the
guaranty by Chicago residents of $780,
600 a year for five years. If the guaran-
ty Is not forthcoming there can be no
opera In Chicago. as no lease of the
Auditorium can be obtained. The con-
tracts with .hc artists of the company
depend upon the guaranty.
"Miss Garden has the highest ad-
for Samuel III. insult. and IL
her remaining Is vital to the success of
tine guaranty she will remain. There
will be no decision until March ~. when
Miss Garden and the company will ap-
pear In Chicago for one performance

New York Herald Bureau,
London. Feb. 21.
Sympathy for the victims of the Roma
was expressed in Royal Air Force cir
eles to-day and IL was agreed that the
disaster was another serious blow to
airship science. 1t is freely predicted
that the accident will have it's reflection
here in further obstruction in the cam
paign for establishing airship commu-
nication with the dominions for COM
nercial purposes.
Very little is known here about the
Roma. Officials arc interested chiefly
in its experiments with helium gas as
bouying medium.
The disaster is certain to increase the
agitation here for the publication of the
MIR Ministry's report on the RIBS, which
was completed some time i'm the last few
weeks. IL is rumored the report con-
tains some sensational disclosures of in
efficiency and lively controversy is
anticipated when tho facts are divulge6
The strong argument employed by those
who urge publication of the report is
that It concerns America as well as
Great Britain and must have a great
influence upon the science of lighter
than-air craft.
Since the R-3S mlshap the alrship
school OF flying has dwindled until now
il is almost negligible. with the greater
brains lost. And with little faith re-
naming it will be weakened further
During the recent air Conference Major
Scott, who piloted the R-3i across the
Atlantic. spoke OF the Roma as the rea-
con why the British must take action
or drop hopelessly behind America in
aerial shipping.

THE SHREW'S MATE

Once more the little fairy went to call on the little masked shrew to ask him about himself.
 Last time 1 saw you," said the fairy. you told me you could hear so wonderfully and you had very keen sense of touch, but that you could not see.
 You also told me how you had to eat as many ounces or as much as your own weight is and that you had to do this every twenty-four hours.
 "Then too, you told me that your whiskers helped you. They could feel either side when you were running through tunnels. And you told me of escapes you had had from bigger crea- lures than you were. Won't you tell me some more? For think you're such a wonderful little creature"
 "I'll tell you some more," said the shrew. "rll tell you of the time had with water snake. This is true. Everything I tell is true, for I don't think there's any sense in not telling the truth about ones self.

 "Well, that's good opinion," said the shrew.
 But continue about your experience with the snake," urged the fairy.
 ''The snake was a water snake and he was having fine time feeding on fishes. Now if he thought he could feed on me he was mistaken. That snake never fed on me. No, Fairy, that snake never fed on me. He may have meant to do so-but he didn't. He threw out some of the horrid smell ing stuff which he carries about his snake person but I wouldn't allow that to upset me.
 He tried to grab me, but I got right at him-and though he was bigger and stronger I kept hold of him until all the life had left his body and I was the victor.
 Perhaps you may think I'm cruel. But I have to protect myself. And then have to eat so much every day. No one brings me my food. l must get It for myself. I must get it by hunt ing for it toO-often, very, very. often by fighting for it. 1 cannot even see what I'm picking out. l must feel it and hear it! Strange way to do the marketing for ones self, isn't it?' asked the shrew.
 "Very strange" agreed the fairy. "You are really the most amazing little animal l know. You are so tiny, smaller than any other animal. You have to eat as much as your own weight in every twenty-four hours and blindly you go in search of your food.
 You're so brave, too. You're not afraid of creatures bigger than your self"
 Were I afraid of creatures bigger than myself" said the shrew, ''I would be afraid all the time. I would spend my little life being afraid. But. Fairy, I do hope you will not think I'm rude"
 No, 1 don't think you're rude," in- terrupted the fairy. Forgive me for
 
 you think that think you're rude.
 No, indeed. you have been so polite to me and you've told me so much about yourself and your interesting ways.
 ''I would never think you were rude. I couldn't think you were rude."
 "No," said the shrew, "I haven't been rude. I have meant to be polite and tell you my ways and I think have. But l meant to say that hoped now you would not think I was rude when 1 started to tell you that I could not talk very long this time.
 You see," the little shrew said. Il have a tiny mate waiting for me. Were not very sociable-we shrews- we are off by ourselves most of the time, but I have a little mate, and just now heard her calling to me from our home below the earth surface.
 "Yes. and she said she had secret to tell me. think, Fairy, perhaps she'll tell me that she loves me, for that is the secret l love best to hear and I tell her the same secret often: And I'm telling you the secret. fairy, for the fairyland people love secretsl'
