There are in New York city about
100 young women who are not feeling
the tlard times, although they are wage
earners and depend upon the patronage
they receive, says the New York Her
aid. But in their cases they are the
exceptions TO the rule that ''when one
business is dull all businesses are
equally dull" for their work is of
kind for which there is a constant da
mand, and there is little or no opposi-
ton to them in their peculiar field.
These 100 Young women act as models
for the tirst-class artists of New York.
1t is said that no young woman Is ever
perfectly proportional all over. If she
is right in arm her waist is usually too
long for her length of body. and if waist
and body are equally adjusted then
there is trouble with her outlines; and
where an artist looks to find a lovely
curve he meets cruel hollow or too
much adipOse to be graceful. The
greatest trouble is knock knees, and
few are the young women who, whether
from high heels or careless walking, do
not have the slight outward tendency of
the calves which betokens this defect.
But the one hundred young women here
mentioned are as free from these faults
as any one hundred girls in the world,
for it is to New York that all the best
models come from all over the world.
One of the best models in the city, OF,
for that matter. TO be found anywhere,
is Miss Callahan. This young woman
has posed for all the artists in the city.
and Is now away for the summer with
William NJ. Chase and his family. Miss
Callahan is Mr.. Chase's favOrte model
and il is to secure her for the season
that he takes her away to his summer
home. She is rather tall. eXQuisitely
proportioned and quite pretty of face.

into the large gaming hall beyond,
which again led into smaller rooms with
more tables. Around each table
were seated about twenty people
with their little piles of money, either
gold or silver, In front of them, aud
their pencils and note-pads all ready to
check down every play, while their
eyes were fixed with the intensest in
terest on the roulette wheel In the CEN
ter Of the table. No one spoke, and the
click Of the balls as they dropped into
the holes and the rattle of the money as
it was raked across the table with the
long sticks or cues of the attendants, or
hauled in by some old habitue who
might be winning few hundred francs,
were the only sounds we heard.
In the center of each table were
seated six men, three on a side, two of
whom were on high chairs little way
back of the others. They are the men
who have charge Of the game, who spin
the wheel and pay the money, or. in
other words, hold the bank, while at
each end is man who places the money
on the spot indicated by the better. and
the gambler is allowed to reach over the
table for his money. No scenes or
disturbances Of any kind are allowed.

pictures and dowagers. besides old
women of the streets, and madonnas.
The chief grief of an artist is that
after he has found good model and got
her trained so that she understands ex-
preston and the art of keeping her pose
for fifteen long minutes she begins to
realize how beautiful she Is. and so goes
upon the stage. One by one the best
models disappear in this way. and the
artists see them no more until they read
their names upon the playbills. and it is
to be recorded that they usually make
great hits" and are much admired.
Beautiful Miss Gold.
One of the most recent lights in the
stage world, though as yet she has been
seen only as living picture in the large
theaterS, is Miss Arabella Gold. for q
long time the model of Sarony and of
other artists. Miss Gold is very tai
ented. She began as q young reporter,
then went singing in concert halls,
found she was beautiful, posed to artists
to get money TO study for the stage. and
is now in Boston awaiting her debut.
Miss Gold is petite, but so perfectly
proportioned that her SmallnesS Is not
noticed by an artist.
A model much sought after. and
lady of very excellent education and
admirable in every personal attribute,
is Mrs. Cook, whose form graceS every
large picture exhibition ever held in
the city. She is widow with three
children, all of whom she supports by
posing, and. besides that. she lives
nicely and goes in very good society,
where her occupation is known, and
she is much petted on account Of her
beauty of face and figure.
And this brings ont the question of a
models pay. So many false stories are
told concerning the sums earned by
posing that it is well to settle the point
beyond dispute. An artists model is

after divorced. She looks like spinster

She appeared in dark blue dress
with commonplace white lace at the
throat, and dropping black hat dressed
with pink roses.
A few days later she was serving tea
to nu mber of her friends at one of her
Monday ''at homes" and looked very
feminine and attractive in an empire
gown of gray crepon with gray satin
sleeves.
Her manner is shy and her welcome
cordial, yet she has not the air of
woman of the world, and her personal
lty and face are somewhat unSympa-
thetic. If her nature is ardent it is not
revealed in her almost embarrassed
manner. In person she is of medium
size, slender. without decided colorlng.
except in her hair, which is pretty
warm brown. and is worn in a sort of
''scrumble" over the brow and in
loose, large knot on the nape of the
neck. Her eyes are light blue, and are
not remarkable.
To be frank. Sarah Grand has not the
self-DosSeSsed air of married woman,

Several other seRatorS are promising to

smoking more than year ago, and says
he has felt 30 per cent better, although
he has grown stout. Senator Quay has
also given up the habit entirely by the

similar bodies in this country. Under
our plan one ignorant or perverse man
can nullify the efforts of eleven intel
ligent and upright citizens if he wishes
to do so. In King Williams domain,
however, such thing is impossible.
Take, for instance, a criminal case in
German court.
"If, after consultation, the jury stands
six to six for and against the prisoner
he is acquitted. If seven jurymen be-
lieve him guilty and five are equally
sure of his innocence his fate is decided
by the judge who has presided over the
case. If. however. eight of the jury
decide that the accused Is guilty it
amounts to a conviction. 1t is simple
and fair solution of the jury problem.

needed in the United States"
