A TROUBLESOME MODEL,
The "Painted Finch" Liked to Take His
Bath In the Wrong Place.

The "Painted Finch" Liked to Take His
Bath in the Wrong Place.
Not long ago had nonpareil, or
painted finch," a South American bird,
from which / was making drawing.
He was a bright little bird, but certain
ly not a good model.
1caught him at work one day, 'touch-
ing up" a drawing had just finished.
1t happened in this way: was called
out from the studio to speak to caller,
and during my short absence my feath-
cred friend-who seemed to be a med
dlesome fellow-plunged into the bowl
OF painting water to take bath.
With wings and tail he vigorously
sprayed the colored liquid all over tho
drawing, and before long had changed
my picture-a painting of birds-to
something more nearly resembling
fireworks display on the Fourth of
July.
When / came back to the studio ho
was putting on the finishing touches;
but as soon as he caught sight of me he
few out of my reach.
will not attempt to describe to you
my feelings at that time; but / will
simply say that within few days after
this event I presented the feathered
model to a delightful old lady who is
fond of birds and flowers. She thought
him "a lovely bird--he was so cute;"
but one day when the neat old lady had
finished watering her window-plants,
the nonpareil saw an opportunity to
show her how ''cuten he could be. He
proceeded to take bath in the muddy
water and spatter it over the clean,
white curtains. This was bit of fun
just to his taste. In fact whenever and
wherever a chance offered he would
battle. If the faucet were left running
he would get under it and almost drown
himself. l have seen him on cold
winters day, bathe and battle again,
until he was so thoroughly chilled that
/ feared he would die.
On these occasions I would take him
in my hands and hold him by the heater
until he was warm and dry; but have
always suspected that he had very little
sympathy with my method of making
him comfortable, and he plainly showed
that ho much preferred the "water-
cure to this drying process, Meredith
