ATLANTIC CITY AFFAIRS
To Make Bathing Safe-Beautify-
ing the City.

Atlantic City, Dec. % (SpeciaD.-It Is little early
to be talking OF next summer and the bathing
son, but still Mayor Stoy is thinking ahead and
devsing plans whereby there will be greater safety
and protection for the thousands of persons who
bathe here in the course Of the year. One OF the
principal subjects OF his annual message to the
City Council, which Will be read at the first meet
ing OF the year, Tuesday Will deal with the
establishment of dead line at a certain dis
tance from the shore. beyond which bathers must
not under any circumstances so without special
permission under pain of arrest and fine or I'M
prisonment. In speaking OF the matter the other
day Mayor Stoy said that 81 per cent OF the drown
ings which have occurred here have come from
persons swimming out too far and using up their
strength, and not being able 70 get back 10 place
of safety. He would have a line of buoys anchored
at certain distance from the shore. to which
any one who can swim at all might swim In safety.
To go beyond this line OF buoys would be consid-
cred a breach Of the peace. The establishment OF
this dead line would also minimize the work OF
the Hfeguards and they would be better able TO
handle the large crowds than IL the at present
The Mayor has talked with some members OF the
City Council with reference to the matter and they
have assured him they will stand by him in any
thing that seems at all reasonable and would tend

HOW LADY HAMILTON DANCED

This remarkable woman. to whose extraor-
dfnary career justice has not even yet been
done, rose literally from the gutter to be the
esteemed companion and adviser of monarchs
statesmen warriors, poets and artists. She
was gifted with more than ordinary beauty Of
person, to which she must have added a most
powerful mind. An accomplished musician and
singer. she was inspired TO the invention of a
form Of dance which, perhaps, owed its origin
to the contemplation of the Greco-Roman wall
paintings unearthed in Italy in her time under
the auspices Of the Society Of Dilettanti, of
which her husband, Sir William Hamilton, was
distinguished a member A number of her
poses were recorded in a series Of engravings

tainly the most famous description of them:

pair of shawls and effects changes Of postures

really feel as If one were in dream. Here
is visible. complete and bodied poetry in
OF surprising variety, all that many artists
have sought in vain to fix and render. Successfully
standing, kneeling. seated reclining, grave, sad
sportive, teasing abandoned. penitent, alluring

grows out of IT. She knows how to choose and
