The longevity of the ballet dancers rvi-

have found so much TO amuse them 10 the
persistency with which the prem:eres
cling to their profession. European sta
tstician has been devoting himself to a
study of the eminent in that art, and

fact that they are an unusually long lived

Oldest in this list was Noverre, who stood
among the greatest in the art during the
middle of the eighteenth century.
Compared with these veterans our own

SMART DRESSES FOR

Copyrig mt, 1898.


New York, July 1.-"Just how shall I
dress for EVENING""
This is the question which many a wo-
man is asking herself these warm even
iEgs when music IS in the air and dances
and summer entertainments are on The
carpet
The question of evening dress has agi-
tated womankind ever since the days
when Queen Elizabeth showed temper AZ
Mary Queen of Scots for displaying her
beautiful neck and shoulders to an admir-
ing court.
The question of evening dress swas in
that case modified by personal attractive
ness, but in these days when all women
are attractive and when beautiful neck
and shoulders are the rule, as is the case
with American women, there must be linn
itations made by the laws of dress and
the laws of etiquette, so that a woman
may know just when it is good form 10
bare her neck and when she should dress
il high.
The rule for dinner is a half high neck.
This means a neck which is cut rounded
or slightly pointed. 1t may expose the
little hollow in the throat and the curve
of the back of the neck. Dinner sleeves,
on the contrary, may be extremely short,
although it must be admitted that it is
better form to have them to the elbow,
or the sleeves can be entirely taken out
of evening dresses and the shoulder fin
ished with a little ruffle if desired, and
still the dress viii be in good form.
A neck, on the contrary, must not be

QUEER LEGACIEs.
Some Peculiar Conditions That Have
Been Attached to Wills,
From the Brooklyn citizen.


From the Brooklyn citizen.
Here are some amusing particulars of
legaeies with strange conditions attached.
Early last year a peculiar probate suit,
involving some $4,000 was imminent. the
disinherited relations wishing to upset an
old gentlemans viii because he had left
the sum named to found and endow a
church on the condition that every Sun
day before the service the whole of the
thirty-nine articles were to be read by
the clergyman outside the church door.
A strange condition was attached to the
legacy of the late Sir Edward Bates, who
died last year, left to his married daugh-
ter. He stated that he had seen his SON
in-law's Scotch property, and he consid-
cred it would be gross injury to his
daughter and her children considering
there are no neighbors within miles. and
there is no medical man within six or
seven niles" If she lived there any con-
siderable time. 50 he arranged that, IL
his daughter stayed more than six months
in any year, land those six months not
in winter" at that spot, the income de-
rived from the legacy for the twelve sue
ceeding months should so to the residuary
leeatee
During this year a gentleman who died
at Mons left a legacy, of $1,000 to five
friends. the money to be spent on dinners
served in different restaurants, and at
each meal a certain dish 20 be eaten, and
a certain wine, of which he was very
fond, to be drunk. Furthermore, his men,

Under this heading they, printed the record
Of Sophia Mayer. She had IA hous in Wooster
street that was the worst in the city. Her
family was much older than those OF the Astors
or the Vanderbilts. She kept women for sale,
and her family, by the closest ties of kinship,
was bound TO the Stuv vcsants and the Ruther-
fords. She had a cage in which she kept naked
manis. She is worth II million dollars. Her
Louise was the most notorious In tho district.
and in hor veins flowed the blood Of old Peter
Stuyvesant. All this was dished up rs a
sweet morsel of the new journalism. Sweeter
still was the fact that she had two sons just en-
tering manhood. They were even better gamo
for Pulitzer's World than the mother. for they
young men should be. They were receiving an
education to tt them for becoming honest. up
right citizens. The World tried to strike them
