Over to Him.
Philadelphia, March 5. The autho

cover what has become of the real
Beatrice who was admitted to the in

Scarlet fever. Beatrice's father, Isa
dor Kauffman, a raincoat manufac
turer, received reports from the hos
pital every day telling him the little
girl was recovering.
Yesterday hct was notified to come
and take her home. Hastening to the
institution Kauffman was surprised
and shocked when a child whom he
did not recognize was turned over to
him. "That is not Beatrice," he ex
claimed. t "Oh, yes it is. She has
changed in appearance because of her
illness," declared the hospital attend
ants. Unconvinced but hoping that he
was mistaken, Kauffman took the
child to his home so that his wife
might decide. Mrs. Kauffman also
declared that the child was not her
Beatrice, and the little girl, failing to
note uny laminar surroundings, burst
into loud sobs for mamma. She was
taken back to the hospital last night
but the real Beatrice could not be lo
cated. J PERSONAL MENTION.
