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


Artists About Their Models.
Every artist keeps in his studio a
little book that he guards most sacred
". It 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 single
name by the artist would fnjure bis
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 b:lsi-
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 unezcelled.
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 lave
met TeVerSeS.

A Remarkable Record.

Chamterlains Cough Remedy has a
remarkable record. It has been in use
for over thirty years, during which time
many million bottles have been sold and
used. It has long been the standard
and main reliance in the treatment OF
Group in thousands of homes,yet during
all this time no case has ever been re-
ported to the manufacturers in which
it failed to effect cure. When given
as soon as the child becomes hoarse or
even as soon as the croupy cough ap-
pears, it will prevent the attack: 1t IS
pleasant to take, many children like 1t:
1t contains no opium or other harmful
substance and may be glued as conf
dently to a baby as to an adult. For

Oriental Weddings,

At wedding festivals in Arabia, Per-
sia and Morocco the women guests hold
carnival all day, sometimes several
days, but the poor little bride is In q
room by herself fasting. She is being
decorated" Depilatories and tweezers
remove all superfiuous hair. She is
scrubbed with puInice stone; her Toes,
fingers and hair are stained with hen
ma, and her face is daubed with red and
bits Of gold paper. An oriental maiden
has no voice in the selection Of her hus-
band. She seldom sees him till she is his
wife, and he is not supposed to see her
face until she unveils after marriage.
Sometimes Cupid gets ahead Of parents
and guardians, the wind" blows the
veil aside, and the young eyes meet.
Then there is some anxious maneuver-
ing that the elders may make the right
selection.

kavanaugh sighed.
Bob Kavanaugh couldn't keep any
thing to himself, and in five minutes he
was telling his woes to Capt. Percy Ian
yard, of the artillery corps. "Brace
up, Kavanaugh," said Lanyard;
'"Muggs is going to send general pris-
'oner through Chicago to Fort Sher-
man TO stand trial. He was going to

from Sherman-it is only a few miles
from Chicago-and see your blue-eyed

Twelve hours from that time Bob
KaVanaugh was sitting in a smoking
car on Chicago bound train, with a
big Colt revolver strapped around him,
and an enlisted man. with n downcast
look, sitting alongside of him. Bob
Kavanaugh had soft heart. The
soldier at mis- side had seen eight years
of service, and had never been in
trouble before. He had assaulted the
"top" sergeant, serious offense in
the army, as may go without saying.
"Cheer up, Spencer" said the lieu

TIRST LIEUT.. ROBERT EMMETT
KAVANAUGH was pacing up and
down in his narrow quarters in Fort
Grady, Mich, holding telegram in
his hand. He had read it 20 times,
but at every second turn in his nerv-
Gus walk he read it again. The tele-
gram was dated Chicago, and this is
what 1t said: leave Thursday for
Florida; Uncle Frank i'll. Stay indefi-

Lieut.. Bob Emmett and Norah Des-

TO be killed off or die in their beds, and
thereby give Bob a chance to write
captain, instead of lieutenant, before
his name on the official papers. The
young officer had fixed the limit of his
waiting at about year.
"Norah's going to Florida" he NUT
tered to himself. 81 haven't seen her
for three weeks, and won't see her for
six months to come. Uncle Frank is
one of the kind who never dies, and
who never gets well, and Nora'll stay
there until the old man is willing to
let her go. She's more of a stickler
for duty than old Muggs, the COM

lot. He won't give me leave; I've
had too many. Great Winfield Scott,

counter with the bushwhackers had

Sniderwas on one side of the lane and
l on the other. Nervously eXpectant,
we were very quiet. Suddenly we
heard, an awfully terrifying noise,
seemingly some four or five rods in
our front. Thinking of the dark and
devious ways of the bushwhackers,
we were duly scared, and, for the mo-
ment, para4yzed. Presently Snider
crawled over to my position and
husllily whispered: What in the -
do you suppose it is?" In like
whisper 1 replied: Il don't know,
but l am not going to stay here in
dread suspense. I'm going to move
forward and develop the enemy Said
Snider: "All right. You go ahead,
and I'll follow" Travelling on all fours,
we cautiously advanced, single file,
down the lane. Now and then Sni-
der would pull my leg, indicating that
he wanted me to halt and hold
council of war. His inquiry, in stage
whisper, was always the same: What
do you think it is?" Shaking him off,

shall find out soon enough; keep still
as mouse, and have your gun ready.

and see." Stealthily approaching an
excavation made by the roots of an
upturned tree, we heard a slight
noise. | impressively whispered to
Snider: Get your gun ready We

vanced skirmisher, l pushed myself
little further forward, when, 10 and
behold, l heard mighty grunt and
then saw a big hog scramble out of
that hole and go wabbling off in un-
dignified retreat. know it was n
big hog for two reasons. We had
killed all the small ones, and surely
no little hog could have scared two big
l9-year-old boys with guns in their
hands. Concerning that Indian-like
advance of two nervous pickets, Sni-
der and were duly reticent. There
is no denying the facts. We were
