ages. The number of Models haSfn-
creased enormously in the last ten
years. This has been brought about
10 some extent, of course. Gy increased
patronage of painters. but it is due
principally to the extraordinary in
crease of good pictures published in
magazines and periodicals. and the
greatly increased standard of merit de-
manded by the editors of such publica-
tons. The illustrator nowadays is
as important factor in the art world
as the man whose pictures are painted

A visit TO an artists studio is some
times extremely amusing if one has the
after privilege of seeing the completed
picture There is At present we'll
known artist in town at work upon
large canvas treating the time-honOred
subject of pretty young woman cross
ing a brook. He outlined his back
ground first during a weeks work N
the woods. but took the canvas 10 New
York to fill in the figure. In the studio
the surroundings are somewhat incon-
gruous. The roof Of the room is q
great white skylight, across which he
has stretched ragged netting, so that
the sunlight may fall through II on the

and an inverted hat box acts for the
second. Should she ever forget herself
so far as to step firmly upon the latter
she would be likely TO fall into brook
made up of moth-eateu fur rugs, for
the hat box is more wabbly than the
most treacherous stepping stone. One
advantage of her position. of which she
earnestly complains, is the fact that
the pose requires her TO look upward,
and on many days il frequently hap
pens that bright ray of sunlight
squirts directly through the s1yhght
netting into one of her big eyes. One
hand daintily lifts a lace-trimmed pet
ticoat. and the whole effect of the pic
ture is light and airy. The studio,
however, is insufferably hot and the
gentle creature who will appear on
canvas in the midst of cool and sylvan
solitude is posing for the view in the
top story of stuffy New York studio
building in the midst of sitting heat
and perspiration.

IL smooth. Then take a stick of sea-
soned hardwood, about eighteen inches
long and two inches IN diameter, and
either cut it yourself or get your friend
with the lathe TO cut ii for you, so that
about seven inches Of the upper end is
rounded away until it fits into the
hole In the spool. and be very careful
that it Ats it quite loosely, SO that it
will ''wobble" about and project an
inch or SO beyond the upper surface Of

this stick, but leave it cut square, and
be careful that the lower part, on
which the spool slips down, is not
taPered, but that it presents kind of
shoulder on which the spool lightly
rests. as shown in the illustration.
Any kind of a taper or thickening
would cause the spool TO jamb, and the
great secret of success is to have it run
as free as possible.
Now take a piece of very strong,
stout cord-a piece of well-seasoned
black bass fishing line is as good as
hnything-and the piece wants to be
