as these arc most FREQ TO pass comment.
IL thoy had observed horses little
they would feel how they 20; and ~
! you don't feel IL, you never can draw
them, because cameras don't feel and
consequently do not produce action.
DO you use models much?" asked.

! But for the rest. except In nudes. I
draw mostly from my sketches. For
nudes you have TO have models, OF
course. The human form is one Of tho
hardest thiags in the world TO draw"
WHAT do you use your man mostly

when / was over In Europe did the
German army and am enthusiastic In

romantic aspects. Ive been pretty
much everywhere and done up pretty
much everything but tho East. don't

I'm going 20 see something OF New York
City this winter Just for my own amuse-
ment aud edihcntion. But ] hope to
travel I'm various parts OF Europe, look
Ing mp tho armies, and TO 90 TO Africa

Of Russia right away, but / should like
TO see the Italian ana Spanish and
French soldiers, and tho Swedish and

savors very decidedly OF the West,
though 40 the -ame time IL has q cur
iOus mixture Of Eastern, even English,
making con b ned dialect which must
be peculiar 10 Mr.. Remington himself.
Yet In manner nc is 80 much tue pollsh-J
ed gontlemau that absolutely nothing
ia bis dress or department betrays his
rough experiences.
He loves mia subjects, the life he has
chosen, and II IL more than certain that
he will never do any otbor lie has
drawn but two women Ia bis life, aud
they could hardly be called successful.
Horses aud soldiers are his pets, and he
knows their every habit. II there were
20 be war In Europe he would be- ca
Rerly at the front in a moment. 10 that
lies his success. His observation OF the
minutest details Is marvellous and his
emphasis on tho statement that you
! must "foel" the movements and pos
lures you draw simply indicates how
perfectly he Identifies himself with his
drawing. II he wers horse or an In
dian he would know how TO enjoy life
perfectly and thus 10 10 that he gives
horses and Indians and soldiers the very
blood Of life IS they arc printed 10 black
