 T give all the rest and residue of my property, real, personal, and mixed, to my beloved wife, Irene Castle, to be her property absolutely. I make this disposition of all my es- tate not only as a token of my deep love and sincere affection for my said dearly beloved wife, but also in gratc- full recognition of the happiness which I have enjoyed in her society during all our welded life and the great as sistance which she has during all that time rendered to me in my profeS- sional work and my career"
