Stage dancers have never been ov-
erburdened In the matter of clothing,
and of late years the tendency has
been to do with less and less; but
when 1t comes to dancing in 'the al.

is not surprising that the authorities
have put stop to it.
Recently Mile. Villany, classical
dancer, was condemned at Munich to
pay a fine of $7.2O for dancing OH the
stage in no more elaborate toilet than
that OF Mother Eve.
A number of eminent painters and
writer's gave evidence on behalf of
Mile. Villany and declared that her
performances were inspired by SUI
preme art; that they had taken their
wives and sisters to see her, and that
the exhibition of the female form was
elevating and spiritual.
The court based the verdict obtain.
ed on the ground that. though Mile.

exhibition Of the unclOthed body was

freight cars, which is equivalent to
1900 locomotives and 100000 freight

These totals have never before been
