  Using 586 $\textrm{pb}^{-1}$ of $e^{+}e^{-}$ collision data acquired at
$\sqrt{s}=4.170$ GeV with the CLEO-c detector at the Cornell Electron Storage
Ring, we report the first observation of $D_{s}^{*+} \to D_{s}^{+} e^{+} e^{-}$
with a significance of $5.3 \sigma$. The ratio of branching fractions
$\calB(D_{s}^{*+} \to D_{s}^{+} e^{+} e^{-}) / \calB(D_{s}^{*+} \to D_{s}^{+}
\gamma)$ is measured to be $[ 0.72^{+0.15}_{-0.13} (\textrm{stat}) \pm 0.10
(\textrm{syst})]%$, which is consistent with theoretical expectations.
