WOMEN WHO POSE.
The Secrecy That Is Maintained by
Artists About Their Models.

Every artist keeps In his studio a
little book that he guards most sacred
ly. 1t contains his list of models. In
some art studios Of New York the
model book" contains 500 names of
men and women who earn their living
by posing. The betrayal Of a single
nAme by the artist would injure his
reputation with the craft and make 1t
difficult for him to employ the better
class of models.
The chief reason for this secrecy Is
the fact that the outside world is prone
to look askance at professional models
Most of them, however are perfectly
modest and good women, whose bust.
ness, though apparently violating the
letter of morality, preserves its spirit
In fact, behind the models professional
career is little but the commonplace.
American models are characterized
by the same qualities of self respect
and independence as American art The
principal fault artists and illustrators
find with them Is their lack of express
sion. but for beautiful figures and per-
feet features they are unexcelled.
The best models in the world are
found In France and America where
the most general intelligence prevails
in the class from which they chiefly
come In America many of them be-
long to middle class families who have
met reverses.
The Somerset reporter., 1903-08-06

Coming d. Wntown on an elevated ex-
press from Harlem last week the fol
lowing impromptu lecture created con-
siderable amusement among the pas
sengers who heard 1t:
Look here, Bob, you are I'm excel
lent talker, and it is always pleasure
to listen to you at the proper time and
place. But there are a great many
things in this newspaper that | want
to know, and If | listen to you shan't
know them until night. | haven't an
hour or two day to read the paper in
my office, as you have. If l don't read
1t now shall have to take it home, or
maybe not read it at all. Now, keep
quiet, like a good fellow. Sorry you
haven't paper. but I'll tear you off
the first page of this one as soon as
have read it,"
Good for you! said man who was
reading while hanging to a strap, and
score of passengers who knew how it
was themselves were heartless enough
to laugh.-New York Times.

THE STOREROOM.
Some of the Things This Important
Apartment should Contain.

In every house should be "a storcroom
which should be cool, airy and. above
all, dry. Where the space can be al
lowed II is well 10 choose fairly large
room and have 1t fitted W with
shelves brackets and strong, firm
table, with, If possible. n drawer Of
generous size. In this keep two or
three spoons, knife, large pair Of
scissors, a ball of string, a cheese cut
ter and a soap cutter These last two
are practically the same as far as make
is concerned but should naturally be
kept very strictly EACH for its separate
use.
a good set of scales should also be
part of the storeroom outfit, as should
a slate with pencil attached for any

a small and simple experiment can
be tried by any reader which will go
far to convince him or her what debt
we owe to color and what good thing
it is we have sunlight which enables
our eyes to take advantage of the beau
tiful hues of nature. Make room
quite dark and then burn some carbon
ate of soda In the flame Of a bunseD
gas burner 1t will burn with an or
ange yellow light sufficiently strong to
illuminate everything in the room. but
you will realize with "A sudden shock
that bright though the light is, all dis
tinctions Of color have vanished. Only
light and shade remain. \ crimson
carnation. blue violet. a red table
cloth, yellow blind-all look gray or
black or white. The faces of those
present look positively repulsive, for all
natural color has disappeared.
No other experiment will so we'll con
vince those who have witnessed it how
great loss would be that of our sense
for color
