NEW YORK, Nov. 29.-The gilded

1t is made up of twenty-four young
women, each one capable of doing pre-
mier work and stern believer in her

looks as if the siXty-year-old ballet

them are young, well inside of the
thirty-year mark, and several have

next. If a girl with slender legs wants
to dance between two fat girls there
is no objection, and if a girl with
chunky legs sandwiches herself be-
tween two slender girls Albertieri only
yells little about woman's vanity.
All Make Noise.
Albertieri, during rehearsals, has an
assistant who thumps out the opera
to be played that night on piano.
Albertieri pounds on the top of the
piano with a stick, and the tWenty-four
yell at Albertieri. At rehearsals the
girls wear what they please, usually
a loose blouse and a short, stiff skirt
of cheap material. The stockings are
of all kinds, from black silk 10 white
cotton, and the slippers are nondes-
cript.
Albertieri doesn't remember the
names of the girls during rehearsals,
and his English is sometimes strong.
"Oh! You lazy beasts, he cries,
when the girls begin to shout rest"
in the midst of the dancing.
You big blue thing" shrieks the
master to a girl in blue stockings,
who has made some small mistake.
You blurder! You blunder!"
''All right Ably" answers the blue
thing" good naturally, and then she
dances like a fairy until the perspira-
ton pours down her rosy face.
The rehealsal lasts but an hour, and
the girls are all tagged out when it
is over

pressed out upon the pile in stripes,
after it has gone through the usual

thirty or forty years. In making up
the 1886 ballet the management res
pectfully rejected the old ladies who
had annually aired their aged charms
before the gaze of New York's gilded
set. In the present ballet there IS not
a woman over thirty, or if she is she
doesn't look it even in street attire,
and most of them are nearer twenty.
In selecting them particular attention
was paid to their knowledge of music,
as a truly artistic dancer must have
more than a smattering of music to
keep in perfect rhythm with the or
cheStra.
High Intelligence Demanded.
More than average intelligence is
needed. for twenty-four operas will be
produced this season, and in each one
the steps of the dances are different.
To memorize these steps so that the
twenty-four will appear like a piece
of well-regulated machinery is no easy
task, and the dancers must all be ia
miliar with the music of the various
operas to keep in perfect accord.
These girls each earn in the neigh
borhood Of $50 a week, but their work
is worth every cent of it, although they
only dance three times a week and are
not on the stage in all more than
couple of hours The unthinking man
or woman will say that $50 week
is very good pay for a few hours work.
But these people do not know of the
many years of preparatory labor the
money spent upon education and the
long arduous rehearsals. They also
forget that a ballet dancer cannot get
work for more than five or six months
in the year, and that she has to live
the rest of the time and perhaps sup
port a family.
If a woman gave up five years of her
life to perfect herself in any business
like millinery or dreSSmaking and was
possessed of more than average intelh-
gence she woulds1egard herself as mod
erately paid if her profits amounted to
but $500 or 81 600 a year. Then the
risk of the ballet dancer in failing to
get employment is very great. The
slightest accident to limb or body in
capacitates her, and while some are
able to prosecute their work seemingly
forever the career Of the average dan
GER is not more than eight or ten years.
The Ballet Master.
Every day the twenty-four rehearse
on the stage of the Metropolitan opera
house. A little Italian named Albertieri
is the master, and a most excitable
man Like other ballet masters he
spends most of his time in raging,
storming, pleading and fretting. When
he isn't doing that the girls are polk
ing fun at him and trying to worry
him into some bran-new exhibition of
temper.

My thoughts are always with you.
Calico, now sixty years old, resolved
again to visit Rome and see the new
pope, Urban VIII. Being in poor
health he was carried most of the way
ON a litter. The pope was kind, but
not convinced that the earth moved,
and would not allow his books to be
printed until they were read and ap-
proved by the church.
Her Sweet Fidelity.
From year to year the publication
was deferred. He was sick at heart,
and could find pleasure only in writing
to Maria Celeste. She writes him: II
love you better than myself. For.
after God, l belong to you; and your
kindnesses are so numberleSs that L
feel 1 could put my life in peril, were
it to save you from any trouble"
Finally Calico moved near to the
convent to be close to his beloved
child.
When Calico was 6S his Dialogues
on the Ptolemaic and Copernican Sys-
TENS" were published. The whole
codntry applauded, but the pope sent
for him to appear at Rome on the
charge of heresy. The decrepit old
man, white haired and i'll, before the
inouisition, was obliged to abjure his
belief or be put in a dungeon and
doubtless suffer death. He was sent
back to his own house to be kept a
prisoner in it, and not permitted to
entertain friends or to allow the as
semblage of many at a time.
More than ever he depended on the
love of Maria Celeste. He wrote her
sadly, MY name is crossed from the
book of the living" She wrote him
cheeiruiiy' soy Ano 'iiH@ :.
thousand years since she had seen
him, and she would recite the seven
penitential psalms for him, ito save
you the trouble of remembering 1t.
The year after he came back from
Rome, lovely Maria Celeste died at
the age of &c. Galileo was broken
hearted He wrote: "She was wo-
man of exquisite mind, singular good
ness. and most tenderly attached to
me-"
He began another book, but he said,
81 hear her constantly calling me!' He
soon made his last discovery-the
moons ibrations-and became hope
lessly blind. There was no one now
to write to him daily or to say pray
ers for him. All that was comforting
and helpful went out of his life with
the departure of sweet Maria Celeste.
