Woman of Great Physical Charm Goes In
sane In New York.
New York. Dec. with the rumored
| incarceration, in a private retreat, Oh
| the beautiful Angelina Allen, the Ten
derloin and other portions OF the city
where high living is at premium,
loses one of its best-known characters.
Angelina, who was also known as
Curves probably owing to the grace
| full outlines of her splendid figure, has
| occasioned the fast set Of the metropolis
! so many sensations that her disappear
! ance from her familiar haunts will be
sadly noticeable.
Perhaps her most striking character
istic of all was her peculiar manner of
| dresser undress.
There is not a woman in the world
who has been photographed as extern
sively, speaking in more ways than one,
than Angelina, and the results have al
ways kept the knowing ones guessing
as to how the flmsy draper1es that were
thrown nonchalantly about her chung
to the magnificent form.
Angeline attracted most attention
when she proceeded to inaugurate a
new system Of dressing, new even to the
Tenderloin, but the queenly head that
perched upon a pair of matchless Shout
ders gave assurance that the novelty in
dress was but forerunner Of innova-
tions that were to come. The daughter
of prominent Brooklyn lawyer named
Ely, Angelina was an educated young
woman, and as a Tenderloin debutante
she at once arose to the rank Of queen
among the gay people in that district.
Before her advent in this city, how
ri Cha cinna
said that she regretted it. She has since
was a Newark man, and a divorce fol-
lowed.
When the divorce case had been duly
disposed of and the dear, beautiful-wo-
man-loving public was wondering what
next might be expected, Angeline came
UP suddenly from wave on the beach
Of Asbury Park in a manner that made
the women look the other way and
made the men arise at once from their
summer langor. 1t was only a Long
Branch bathing-suit that the shapely
Angeline had about her and there was
but little of it But what was there
fitted in way that sent three-forked
thrills through masculine breasts on
that summers day at Asbury.
Founder Bradley was Mortified when
he beheld the figure of Angeline-at
least he made believe he was. The
nearest approach to it that the staid old
gentleman Of Asbury had ever seen
were the statues in the Museum of Art
al Central Park. He ordered Miss Allen
off his premises, upon which the beau
tiful one added a few briny tears to the
scanty covering that barred the outside
world from the loneliness within that
Long Branch bathing suit.
As bathing costumes did not seem to
tempt sufficiently, Angelina hied herself
back TO Newark and appeared one day
in the most fascinating green boomers
that the Irish sun ever Shone upon. The
boomers made no kind of a hit, how
ever, and Angelina was compelled to
submit to all manner of openly express
ed abuse by the apparently incensed
citizens of Newark.
One day Angelina had a package Of
cigarettes. 1t is not on record that she
intended smoking them. However, she
took a little picture from the package
and discovered that the enterprising
makers had used her form divine as q
subject The picture represented
Greek playing harp.
AT any rate, the original of the pict-
ure was about to institute proceedings
against the nicotine factory when she
was assured by her lawyers, Howe &
Hummel. that, as the picture was a
fancy one, she had absolutely no
grounds upon which to base an action.
After this she went on the stage as a
living picture, and her beautiful figure
made her the sensation at the Imperial
Music Hail. She posed in such pictures
as required the least amount of drap-
ing, for Nature, had she ever dreamt of
living pictures, could not have modelled
a form more graceful than that of An
geline Allen
A certain Fifth avenue photographer
seems TO have made a good thing" Of
likeness. The popularity Of
these photographs Is that they are ex-
IRENE of decollette and that the attire
seems to hang on her in some mysteri-
Gus way without the aid of artificial
means. The give one the idea that IL
would take but a Slight relaxation of
the hnely curved lips to make the drap-
cry vanish
And now Angelne-The BeautifuI-
has gone from the Tenderlion. No
longer will she fit about the bathrooms
or the par!ors during some swell even
ing solree where none but aspiring
oaldheads are welcome. She will prob
AMY never again be requested to de-
part from the Arion ball because her
attire IS not consistent with the moral
atmosphere prevailing among the Teu-
tons.
she is SAID TO be mental wreck. and |
the once famous beauty is now oueitlv |
resting IN a private asylum-resting |
from the arduous labors falling often |
upon those whom nature has remem- |
pered not wisely but too well
