"A model for the nude, or the 'draped,'
has certain character to portray. She
is told to poise like Diana, or pose as
Minerva, or become Virginia dead upon
the sand. She can easily throw herself
into these parts. But to pose for a lady of
leisure is much harder. Here there must
be ancestry shown, great refinement sug-
gested, and the high-bred tone must come
into the face and figure My little model
manages all this.

ture of a certain immensely wealthy so
ciety girl of Chicago who was to be mar

gift to her father, who idolizes her. The
girl, renowned though she is by having
her name in print in connection with for

she posed for painting of Mrs. Hunting

''Miss Kitty Duer. the new reigning
beauty, has a saucy tilt nose. lovely but
tilted. That young lady. so a miniature
painter told me, declined to sit so many
times for her picture, and the model was
called in. Her nose, too, is tilt but a
thousand times prettier than Miss Duers
nose She sat for the nose Of that minia-
ture, and everybody pronounced it the
most charming likeness ever seen.
This girl model has posed for all the
children OF George Gould, except the latest
baby. She has that babyish peachlike
skin that should be in every child's pic
ture, and when she laughs she has the
little white teeth OF childhood and the
dimples. Children will not sit for hours, so
what can painter do but employ
