MODELS In PARIS.
Lucy Hooper, In Paris letter to the Nex
York World, says: 4 great and growing dff,
flculty OF which all the artists in Paris ut pres.
ent complain, is that Of finding good models.
especially for the undraped female form. Tn
find woman sufficiently beautiful and sufR-
cicnt1y shameless who at the same time has not
entered upon q career of vicious luxury, Is by
no means easy task. And by law parent car.
not force daughter, il unwilling, to adopt thu
profession OF model. Hence aross
a thrilling scene (which , would make
wag) and which took place IN the ate}er Of Is 3
celebrated Partisan painter the other day An
old Italian woman, who had sometimes sat ID
him, came to him one day and informed him
that she had very beautiful daughter who
an unfinished NEUROLOGICAL picture which he
had laid aside, as it SO happened, precisely fof
lack Of a female model. He engaged her at
once On the representations Of the mother,
and the next day she came. An alter.
a cation H., at -, once arose ,!s between the gtr1
on in their native tongue, the artist
could not understand. It ended by the old
hag selling the girl and tearing Oft her garments
bE main force, regardless OF the painters re-
monstrances, who had no idea that the proposal
of the mother was against the daughters will.
The poor girl rushed shrieHng to the window;
her cries attracted the notice Of the police. and
the unnatural parent was arrested and con-
demned to seven months imprisonment. As
to the girl, who was not yet l6 years Of age,
she has been placed at convent school
and will probably become good
and respectable member Of society. Not that
the profession Of model necessarily excludes
such future, as it is a weli-known fact that
several Of the most beautiful models OF Paris
are women OF the seyercst virtue. But, as be-
fore remarked, tine female models are extremely
rare. Recently 4 distinguished American trav-
eler remarked to an artist while in Florence that
SO exquisite beauty as that Of Titian's 'Venus''
was not to be found in modern days. Excuse
me-" replied the artist, IS we see women Of as
perfect lovcliness that picture every day Of
lives but among those that We can never hope
to have sit to us; they belong to the upper
classes Of American society.''
