FRahiOn Models.

Fashion models who pose for q pho
tographer are not to be confused for a
moment with those other models who
pose for artists. The camera and the
brush are far different mediums. One
can hide or forget blemishes, but the
other tells the truth, the whole truth
and nothing but the truth, says the
Baltimore Herald. An artist can add a
few inches to models height or
change the curve Of her shoulders or
her nose or give her pearly teeth in
stead Of irregular, discolored ones, or
make any other improvement he de-
sires; but the photographer can but
press the bulb Of his lens. Retouching
Is unavailing II the model has assumed
a gawky, ungraccful pose. Not all the
kings horses and oil the kings men
can make camera transform an awk-
ward woman into q beauty.

Max O'Rell was exceedingly popular
as lecturer, and the way in which his
mother viewed the suggestion that her
son should take to the platform Is
worth repetition. She wrote to him
from the native village which she had
never left for more than day to say
that she did not think appearing before
audiences to be reputable business, and
when he replied that he had decided to
do it and had signed contract to that
effect the dear old lady wrote back
that she was ''still' his loving mother
