George Il. Drake, artist, once an actor who

vertscd thus:
A RTlSTS MODEL wantedt good figure REQUIRED.
N Call iot l2 A. N. studio II, ~ West 3cth st.
Ten or twelve called: only ono of them was q
professional model; mono OF them displayed
charms that fitted with MIR. brakes ideal.
Finally there came one who said & at her name
was Adele Revier. She suited, and she sat for
the first tlmo that same day FOR tho figure
Sho wasn't professional model" Mr.. Drake
said yesterday. " She showed In different WAYS
that she was green. But that is nothing un-
usual. Women who are not professional models
frequently want to SEQ themselves In pictures,
and offer to pose for artIsts Tho first time
Adele Revier posed at the end Of two hours
sitting, / offered her $500. That 10 o little
higher than the usual rate. She laughed In .
surprised sort Of way, and put the money one
aldo.
Walt until you are through with me- shs
said; that will be time enough
Then on Sunday happened to look out Of
the window and saw her get out Of q hanson
cab at the door. a model who put aside her
wages and who rode In hanson cabs was .
unique figure in my limited experience"
Yesterday, Mr.. Drake said, Adele Revier
came to pose for the last time, arriving at o
O'Clock In the morning After he had been
painting industriousy for an hour and q half
there was knock at the door, which he an
swered palette in hand. Mr.. Drake says he
found well-dressed. middle-aged man with o
sandy Nandyke beard standing In the hallway.
The stranger introduced himself. Mr.. Drake
said. ms II man whose name 10 known to every
body in New York.
Then" said Mr.. Drake, "he said sayagely,
My wife is in there and he broke through the
door. The model screamed and ran around
behind the dressing screen. / dropped my pal
ette on the window sill-he had pushed me
almost across tho room-and grabbed him Just
as he seized the edge OF the screen to pull It
down. caught him about the waist with both
arms and slung him across the floor. He got an
arm loose and struck me a swinging blow
on the cheek. Then punched his nose and
grabbed his cheek. He caught me here. [Mr,
Drake pointed TO a big square of court-plakter
on his left cheek.l The screen came down
while we were rolling around and It got ripped
to pieces. Meanwhile tho woman got back
| among the curtains of the dresser and cried
and moaned. Finally threw him out into the
hall and locked the door. Then turned to the
woman.
us this trueT' asked her; are you Mrs.
BlankT And when she said she was. just
told her to climb into her clothes and get out
She was out in short order. and when closed
the door on her she was sobbing. She was only
foolish, that's all. She knew she was beautiful,
and couldn't resist the temptation OF seeing her
beauty on canvas and OF hearing people COM
ment on It perhaps"
