The HERALD reporter meeting a lady
artist yesterday afternoon. asked her as to
the charms of the various ladies who are
being posed as candidates for Goddess of
Liberty. She was quite enthusiastic over
all of them. If the young ladies are not
all made leaders of society and given per
1ect forms 1t is because leaders are scarce
and perfect form has not yet been found
to exist except in the ideal imagination of
some OF tue great master artists. However,
Salt Lake can boast of many pretty ladies
with comely forms.
