MODEL FEMALE FIGURES.

Tired and Overworked Bodies Can Never
Come Up to the Standard.
The want of good models In training the
figure is seriously to be deplored. The in
sensible education of a beautiful, spirited
picture or statue in developing beauty has
never been rigidly used in modern times.
Madonnas and goddesses are too purely
ideal to serve human readings. Better types
for poise, air, and costume are the clay fig
ures Of Spanish and Provencal artists. The
exquisite statuette Of 1.-The Reader" by an
Italian sculptor IN New York years ago,
was so fine modelling of a girls dress and
figure that it is a regret copies of it cannot
be in every gallery. a girl of - or 20, as
that age ought to look, stands rapt In her
book, the lines Of her beautifully simple
dress defining high bred figure, matches

could never take bis eyes. Tho perfectly
adjusted shoulders, wide enough for
strength, with promise Of never becoming
too wide under iife's burdens, are fat in
the back, as if they had grown against
wall, falling in at the waist with the spring
that betokens a good walker The outlines
of every limb, even through the garments,
are 1.-the and elastic, with more spring TO
them than any round barreled gymnasium
girl OWLS. Such figure never comes from
a gymnasium solely.

Overworked figures settle down and loSe two
