England's Designs on the Boer Republic
and the Reasons Thereof.

Steadily the evidence accumulates of the
determination of the English government
to assail the republican freedom of the
Transvaal as soon after the royal jubilee

together with formidable train of artil-
lery
There are two reasons for hurrying on
the piratical attack In the first place,
England fears that the steady increase of
the non-English population of South
Africa and the growing interest Of France
and Germany in the development of the
South African free states may shortly
produce situation too strong for English
rapacity TO overthrow In the second
place, there is stock iobbing interest Of
the most pressing urgency which is driv.

scores of millions over their desperate

he could have looked in about that time.
You ask me why have been favoritc

that i suggest in my poses the feeling they
want to get into figure. / seem to un-
derstand the effect they wish to reproduce.
Il have never posed at art schools and
very rarely for women artists l don't
care To pose for women because | think
they arc less considerate Of their models
than men are. The art schools Eve never
posed for because don't care to pose at
Wholesale, 50 TO speak
You have no idea how wrapt artists
become in their work. The time during
which model is posing for an artist will
often pass without word being exchanged
between them. They tell story of q
sculptor who was modelling from an ex.
trcmcly well shaped model. During the
work, however, she talked. He never sent
for her again. When asked the reason, he
said, Statues never speak. Nor do artists
have any Use for models who arc in any
way ashamed of their calling. They re-
gard IL as nm honorable one. and their at
titudc toward their models is rs respectful
as that of a reputable physician toward his
women Patients.
II suppose there are about 100 artists
models in this city. ought TO know by
this time how much a model receives, and
when am told of some models who re-
cciyc $40 day / say that that is all
'tonmyrot. A model receives 80 cents
IN hour, or 50 for day of six hours No
model gets q cent more FROM serious
worker. l never posed for any but serious
workers, for don't care to lie caricatured.
There are q lot Of society fellows in town
who Ike to pose as artists whose studios
are gorgecusiy- appointed, b,t whose
paintings are enough TO make Rome howl.
Now, these buffers. as we call them. NAY
pay models $40 a day. but it's the kind Of
engagement which means come any old
time and a case of luncheon or supper.
oh, I've had innumerable letters from duff.
sers, but I've never answered one OF them.
81 have sometimes heard it said that
abroad when an artist finds good model
he IL apt to marry her in ord.y TO save the
expense Of hiring her. The only Instance
| can recall here didn't save any expense,
for after the artist married his model she
didn { care TO pose any more. Posing was
work, and she hadn't married for that,
50 be had TO hire another model
What DO know about men models:
Nothing. except that it takes man longer
