4 THE DAILY RECORD, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1909. No. 1,154. A BERLIN COLONY ROMANCE. CONSUMMATED IN NEW|YORK. (From our New York correspondent.) Several old Record readers have suggested to me that their friends in the Berlin American colony might like to have particulars of the latest “Colony romance” which has had its denouement in Gotham by the marriage of Miss Leonore Cameron, of Oak- wood, Ontario, to Mr. Walter Radeck, of Berlin. Some time ago a Miss Nor la Gatti applied to the Whitney Opera Company for a position in the chorus of the “Chocolate Soldier” about to be produced at Herald Square Theatre. She sang for the manager, who was agreeably impressed by the fine quality of her soprano voice. He was informed that she had studied under Fraulein Zeehoffer in Berlin and wished to gain stage experience as a preparation for a grand opera career. The manager promptly closed with this valuable acquisition. Miss Norla Gatti was something of a mystery to her other fair colleagues of the chorus. She re solutely refused to divulge anything in regard to her antecedents, and thereby drew upon herself all manner of exciting stories Shortly after her first appearance a handsome looking young man appeared at the Herald Square Theatre’s stage entrance and asked to see Miss Gatti as she left. The stranger, who spoke with a decided German accent, added new zest to The mystery, and all the chorus endeavoured to solve the identities of Miss Gatti and the unknown Herr. In the morning papers of October 19th, how ever, the following notice cleared up the mystery “RADECK—CAMERON.—On Oct. 18, by the Rev. Francis W. Kirwan, LEONORE CAMERON, of Oak- wood, Ont., to WALTER RADECK, of Berlin, Ger many.” Miss Leonore Cameron turned out to be the whilom “Miss Norla Gatti” of the footlights, and Herr Radeck was the young gentleman who had importuned the door-keeper at Herald Square Theatre. After some persuasion Mrs. Radeck told represent atives of the press her story. She said she was born at Oakwood, a suburb of Toronto. Her parents died before she was two years old, and she was reared by her grandparents, who still live at Oakwood. “My father left me a considerable inheritance,” she continued, “so I never knew any financial hard ship. Very early my grandparents began my musical education. I studied first at a conservatory in Toronto and three years ago I went to Berlin. Beside study ing with Fraulein Zeehoffer, I studied the piano. But I could not speak much German arid my instructor spoke less English. The daughter of a stockholder in the conservatory became a great friend of mine and offered to give me piano lessons in her home if I would talk with her in English. “The night that she told me her parents had planned her marriage to a young nobleman whom she did not love and who did not love her he arrived. He was introduced to me and we fell in love. His fiancee was happy to think she might escape marrying him.” It took much urging to induce the chorus girl to disclose the identity of the man. Finally she ad mitted that he had followed her to New York three weeks ago and that they were married by a Justice of the Peace in Jersey City on October 18. “If I must tell more I will simply say that my husbank is Walter von Radeck, son of a banker in Berlin who is a baron,” she went on. “He is still receiving a weekly allowance from his father, who knows nothing of our marriage. Search through the Almanach de Gotha and other records of German nobility discloses no family of the name of von Radeck. The wedding notice, it will be seen, lacks the “von.” WEALTH AS A HANDICAP TO YOUTH. (From our New York Correspondent.) President Taft in his recent talk to the girls at the Columbus Industrial School expressed his satisfaction that he will have no property to leave his two sons, but “only good character and pride in themselves and a good education.” That is a rich endowment for any boy, and of its three elements not the least valuable is pride in one’s self, using the term in its best sense. In the course of a lucid commentary on the Pre sident’s speech, the World says there is nevertheless something of a Roman parent’s austerity in Mr. Taft’s desire to start his boys poor. If wealthy fathers were to follow the example, the “three generations be tween shirt-sleeves and shirt-sleeves” would be re duced to one, sons no longer beginning where the father left off. The plan might be expected to be generally beneficial to society. A boy can have no greater handicap to incentive and to real usefulness than an inherited fortune. And considering the qua lity of American achievement which has come from the farm-house and the country parsonage, an im petus would be given to the development of the traits of character on which American greatness rests. There would be the additional advantage that wealth diverted from inheritance would revert to society in the shape of public benefactions The possibility of such conditions is qualified, how ever, by Mr Taft’s statement that though the boys must take care of themselves, he intends to “scrape together” all he can to give his daughter, so that she need marry only when she chooses to marry and not because of circumstances This is in effect an advocacy of dowries for daughters If the family fortune is to descend to the female line only, will not the ultimate possession of wealth rest with the women of the nation? In that event the advantage may suggest itself to aspiring young men disinherited by their fathers of acquiring a fortune by marriage rather than by toil. JAPANESE ENGLISH. It was not so very long ago that a Japanese Min ister, who shall be nameless, made a visit of cere mony upon Lady Lansdowne. He was a charming fel low, says and conversed on many subjects of interest with his hostess. In bidding her adieu bending low over her hand, he murmured, “Forgive it me, madame, if I have cockroached on your time to day !” Lady Lansdowne laughingly told her husband the story, adding: “He is such a nice little man, you know! I think it would be right to tell him of his mistake. I shall explain to him that encroached, not cockroached, is the correct expression in English.” To make a long story short, the little Minister and Lady Lansdowne soon met again. It was at the For eign Office, and Lady Lansdowne drew her new friend apart. “I want to make a little explanation,” she said. “You talk English all but perfectly. Indeed, I have only heard you make one mistake. Now, in stead of saying to me, ‘I am sorry to have cock roached, you should say, ‘1 am sorry to have en croached on your time.’ That is the word, encroached ! You understand ?” The Jap was silent for a moment. Then the cloud lifted from his face. A flash-light might have passed over it. “I see ! I see !” he cried. “I may say, then, when addressing Lord Lansdowne, “I am sorry to have cockroached on your time,’ but it is to you, mademe, I must say, ‘I am sorry to have hen- croached on your time.’ ” LATEST AMERICAN MAIL NEWS.
