Allen, multi-miIlionair imam with
out country" who died In England
last summer, bequeathed 100000 to
Mrs. Eleanor Baldwin Cass, of Med

fencing teacher.
The legacy was made out of
gratitude for the work Mrs. Cass did
IN putting the millionaire into physi-
cal trim when she was fencing in
structor to society people at New
port in 1911.
Mrs. Cass Is Mother.
Mrs. Cass, who is also a writer
and incidentally the mother of five
children, admitted she had been no.
titled of the bequest by cablegram
from firm OF London solicitors.
In the meantime probating Of the
will Of the seventy year-old New
porter, who renounced his citizen
ship when prohibition became a
law, has been delayed owing to a
codicil made in London.
The English courts require proof
as to the signatures of witnesses

tain the bequest to Mrs. Cass, and
is being fought by heirs to the
estate.
London, Paris, New York and
Newport are watching the settle
ment of the estate, which it is be-
lieved will amount to $4,000, 900,
with heavy inheritance taxes.
In the meantime the little physi.
cal instructor, who has one of the
most symmetrical and perfect fig
ures in the country, is going placid
ly about her business.
Mrs. Cass said today:
1T gave Mr.. Van Allen physical
instruction, largely setting-up exer-
cises, years ago when was at
Newport. I was introduced to him
by Mrs. Philip Grosvenor, now dead,
who was a prominent member of
society there.
''MT. Van Allen was extremely
popular, and was called the Prince
of Wales of America
IT found him a willing pupil, and
the exercises which I gave him did
him world of good. 1t was prob
ably through gratitude that he left
me the money.
Eat that time I was fencing and
physical instructor to a number Of
society people at Newport, includ.
ing the. Astors and the Wander.
bilts. Mr.. Van Allen was quite
along in years, but was well pre-
served and very active"

GORGEOUS COSTUMES
FEATURE OF DANCING

One of the outstanding features
If the performance given this season
by Ruth st. Denis, Ted Shawn and
the Denishawn dancers, announced
for an appearance at the National
Theater this afternoon under the To-
cal management of T. Arthur Smith,
Inc, is the gorgeousness of the Cos
tunes and scenic settings. The crit
les everywhere have stressed this
point and have emphasized particu-
iarly the rare beauty of the embroid-
cred Spanish shawl which Miss St.
Denis wears in one Of her solo dances.
The box office receipts for their
first appearance in Washington last
year established a new record for a
dancing attraction here, and so many
were turned away on the afternoon
of the performance that g. return
date was Immediately arranged.
Music will play prominent part in
the performance of these famous
dancers. The Accompaniment will
be supplied by a quartet of artists Of
the highest distinction, who have
been connected with other important
symphonic Organizations In the past.
