Demand for Models in Art Photography

In the stores l got twice that number, but

scan the choruses for suitable material.
Fact is, the big stores are the best
places to secure beautiful girls, and the
majority Of the most used models are grad
yates from the mems furnishings and per-
fume counters. They far outnumber the
actress models, popular opinion to the con-
trary notwithstanding.

work and the irregular life, and then she
can no longer be suitable for an all-round
subject. It's too bad, for an actress re-
uuires no training in how to act the part
and how to lend herself gracefully to the
subject in hand"
Many a popular model is the product OF
weeks Of patient toll on the part Of some
photographer who was attracted by her

himself the task Of giving her grace and
winsomness.
This is almost as hard as finding beauty.

When she is finally rendered perfect the

subjects see her pictures, realize that a
new beauty has arrived, hunt her up and
proceed to tempt her away from the man
who brought her out.
This is an almost inevitable result, and
1t is the most telling argument that a

and il she is a beauty OF the Celtic type
and will not detract from the sparkle of
her eyes the spring of her step and the
ruddy glow of her cheeks by favoring social
pleasures above sleep, she will add consid-
erably to that sum.
All beautiful girls aspiring to be models
should, however, bear this in mind-that
many a beauty is not beautiful in a photo
graph. The photographers have found this
out by bitter and costly experience. They
no longer grow enraptured over every fine
looking woman they meet; they reserve

will be no earth to carry around to the
southern shore, and hat part of the island
will emain in its present position.
Mr.. Corthell told some very interesting
things about Rosario, which is now we'll
known as a very important river seaport
of Argentina, with ocean steamers from
Europe constantly dischaTging and taking
on freight at it's docks. 1t has grown from
60, 900 to 112, OOO in population in the course
Of a few years. Vessels drawing twenty
one feet can ascend to it's docks, and it is
expected to deepen the channel so that
larger steamships may make Rosario their
destination.
Rosario is the largest exporter OF the
millions OF bushels OF wheat which Argen-
tina now sends to Europe. Mr. Corthell
showed an interesting view OF a small
mountain Of sacks filled with wheat that
had been piled up for carriage to Rosario.
We send our wheat to Europe from Atlantic
ports in bulk; but Argentina, like our Pa
cifc states, exports it's grain in sacks.
Another picture showed the process Of
loading these sacks on the steamers. The
sacks are hauled up 10 a considerable
height above the vessel, from which an
inclined plane extends to the deck of tho
ship; down his smooth plane the sacks
slide into the hold, in which they are
stored.
This is, OF course, a very slow and incon-
venient method OF handling the grain In
comparison with our elevator system, which
does the work much more cheaply and eX-
peditiously. Mr.. Corthcll says that efforts
are being made to interest capitalists en-
gagged in the elevator business in this
country in the introduction Of this labor
saving invention into Argentina. II is verJ
likely that in tn. course Of a few years on
elevator or two will rise on the banks
OF the Parana at Rosario and supplant the
present clumsy method OF handling export

Queer Travelling Island

In his recent address before the Amer
lean Geographical society Elmer l.. Corthcll
showed n map of the large island just a
little north Of the Argentine city OF Ro-
sario in the Parana river. The island has
for years been moving down the stream.
narrowing the passage between it and the
city.
The fact that the island has moved from
its old position will not appear so strange
when the phenomenon is explained. 1t
seems after all to be a simple matter.
The vast volume OF water coming down
the Parana impinges upon the wide north
ern front Of the island and tears away
great masses of earth from the banks,
carrying the sand and other detritus away
from the northern shore. The island so
obstructs the current that an eddy is
formed on the south side of the land mass.
and into this eddy most OF the earth that is
torn away from the northern bank Is car
ried and deposited against the south shore
in this quiet part OF the waters, so that
while the north side Of the island is con-
stantly wearing away, the southern shore
is being built up and extended, and thus
the island is gradually travelling down the
stream.
The engineering problem does not seem
to be a very difficult one. 1t is proposed 10

Fapher, II stared at that child. 1t was

weeks Of gazing at streams of distorted
ugliness l couldn't keep my eyes from

When l did recover my senses and realized

then photographed her"
That was half a year ago; today this
girl is earning as much as $40 and $50 Il
week, simply by posing before the camera.
And she does not work more that four hours
a day on the average at that. She is ena-
bled to make this comfortable income be-
cause she possesses, in toto, the require
ments of an ideal model-beauty Of face and
figure, however she may be placed before
the camera; grace and litheness; winsome-
ness, patience and power to hold all sorts
of poses, and intelligence and ability TO
adapt herself to the pose-to act the part,
and not merely serve as a rack for the gor-
geous bedeckments Of the girl of society.
One beauty photographer, who in the last
twelve months posed 5000 different models
says that he found among them the num-
Der less than fifty who came anywhere neal
the ideal standard.
This man, like his fellows, make a sys-
tematic search of the shops, the places of
amusement, the streets, and even the
churches for models.
One beauty who has taken New York by
storm, and who is now posing for several
statues for the st. Louis Worlds fair, was
discovered in this way:
The photographer was walking along the
street one day, peering into the faces Of
passing women, when the girl in question
flashed down upon him. His trained eye as
once told him that she would make a model
far above the ordinary, and he turned
around and followed her until she stopped
before a shop window to inspect the dis
play. Here was his opportunity. Walking
up to her he said:
beg pardon, but l am am a professional
photographer in search Of beautiful models.
I ha~ve-ah-been attracted by your-ah-
delicate type of beauty, and I-ah-would
nke-propose that neutrality-suspicious.
you pose for me?"
The girl at first was inclined to be inL
dignant and was on the point Of calling a
policeman, when the mans all too evident
embarrassment convinced her Of his good
intentions, and she burst out laughing.

she'd TASK mamma" and the result was
