his lifetime a well known figure in
Austrian military circles and quite

realization Of an ideal, an artistic who

In many respects the Baroness Rot

figures In the world of art today. In
no sense Of the word is she an imf-

art of interpretative dancing. she has
found no Justification for the popular
practice of appearing in public In
state of nudity which. though possibly
justified by: the subject matter or the

those in search of "thrilp' than to
