"The skeleton of Grace"


From Blackwood's Magazine.
Scarcely any of the stories told Of dam
seuses are amusing; few of the heroines
have left behind them any reputation of
esprit The best known OF the legends is
that Mile. Guimard determined, when she
was young, that she would postpone grow
ing old; SO she had her portrait taken at
the age of twenty, placed the picture on
her dressing table by the side of her glass,
and painted herself up to it every morning
until she was fifty BY that means she
remained twenty during thirty years.
1t was she, too who at sixty, consented
to give a final representation for her friends
on condition that the curtain should be
kept down to the level of her waist, and
that the spectators should see nothing of
her but her legs. which, although her body
was 50 thin that she was called the skele-
ton OF grace had retained in age the
beauty of their youthful form.

Mrs. Rosa De Care of Brightwood Park
has written a letter to the Commissioners
protesting against the payment of a tax OF
1928 which has been assessed against her
property, situated on the northeast corner
of Erie and 9th streets, Brightwood Park.
for laying a water main along 9th street In
October, 1894. She says: First. have
never signed any petition for the laying OF
the main, which was done in october, 1891.
and not August, 1885, as set forth In the
tax notice, which / consider Of no benefit
to me or my neighbors, as We have no
sewerage in Brightwood. Second. 1 was
never notified that main was to be laid,
and therefore, had no opportunity TO be
heard by your body as against such prema-
ture and uncalled-for work. Third. con-
slider that 81. % per foot on each side OF the
street is an exorbitant price for the WORK,
as it could be done by contract for haff or
the money. AS this tax is due and payable
on September 10, 1895, trust that you VIII
give this matter your immediate attenton,
with view to striking this tax on the
