PARIS Rl-The Rue de Ia Paix
has handed down a law Of waist
lines for evening dresses.
One-quarter Of the total length
OF evening dresses must be above
the waistline, says the street where
styles are born, and three-quarters
below.
The rule OF backs, not quite as
immutable. Is one-quarter bare to
the waistline, or thereabout, and
three-quarters skirt.
The least dressed are the best
dressed. speaking In terms OF the
new evening dresses.
Backs arc now as bare In the

WOMAN WHO CONTROLLED FORTUNE IN NEW YORK CITY, PASSES AWAY; ONE OF
 FAMILY NOTED FOR ODD CHARACTERS
-Associoted Press Photo

f
 NEW YORK CITY, N. Y, July 24.-Mrs Rebecca Wendell Swope, last of a line noted for a vast real estate fortune in New York City, died last Sunday at the age of ST years.
 In accordance with the custom of the family, no announcement was made of her death. and Mrs. Swope was buried quietly on Tues day
 The family shut out the modern world.
 Mrs. Swope was the only one of six sisters to marry. She had one brother John c. Wendell.
 The sisters decreed no man was good enough to marry.
 There were no telephones, no electricity, no newspaper nor other modern conveniences allowed in the four story mansion in the heart of the department store district of the city.
 Mrs Swope personally ruled a fortune and under her creed she never mortgaged, no property was for sale, and tenants made their own repairs
