After a relatively short period of quiescence (1989 - 1991), the B7V s
tar 4 Her entered a new Be and shell phase. The most interesting featu
re which accompanies the beginning of the new shell episode is an appa
rent doubling of several different metallic shell lines seen consisten
tly in our high-S/N electronic spectra. We suggest that this doubling
is a consequence of a central emission feature rather than of a two-co
mponent shell.
