Model Children. --TAn,,a Tao Merritt in St Nicholas I

oU.
 Here in London, where am writing, there are several hundred people whose business it is to sit for artists. Some of them, who are in the year. and may earn from dollar and half to two dollars 8 day. They must keep still for hours, and often stand or kneel in tiresome positions. However, the models generally take great interest in the pictures they sit for and like to do their best for the artists who employ them.
 Among the models are some very small children, who began to sit when they were mere babies. I have often wished that some rich children could see how patient these lit tie ones can be when they understand that they are earning money to buy food and clothes. have tried to persuade fine lit tie boy, in smart silk stockings and fine shoes, to keep his feet still long enough for me to paint them.
 When I find that child cannot sit quietly to have his dress painted I send for Georgie Mum. He is very proud to put on the beau tiful stockings and shoes. l make a chalk mark on the throne where his little feet should go and he will keep carefully on the mark He has 8 few minutes for rest ct in tervals during each hour, and long rest at dinner time; but he will keep very quiet while we are working, and will not move without leave. He is very little boy, so his mother keeps her arm around him to steady him, and talks to him in whisper without disturbing me. She teaches him to count, or to sing little songs or to spell. Every now and then he tries to guess what there will be for dinner. With so good a boy to help me, I can paint very quickly; and when little Master Restless comes next day to sit for his portrait he is surprised to see the dress quite finished

and whenever we stop run to my canvas
 and try to put in good touch. Sometimes, if baby will keep very still for two or three
 minutes, reward him by being a saddle
 horse and take him on my back for gallop about the studio. All this does not seem to
 leave much time to paint, and that is just the difficulty. If I made baby sit in his
 chair, tired and worried he might look cross and papa and mamma would find my portrait
 ugly. They would say had not scaught his sweet expression" and other people would
 not ask me to paint their children. That
 would be very bad for me; therefore, be it ever so difficult to romp and play and paint all at once, I have learned that with patience it can be done.
