IS she A
WOMAN
New Jersey Woman Asks Model
to Stand Torture for a
Picture

In order that she may get photo
graphs Of the face Of a man In the
greatest agony for reproduction in a
realistic picture, Mrs. Josephine de
voir Of Moristown. N. J.. has been look
ing for man who will consent to have
his hand mutilated while the camera
acts.
She has found a poor devil who Is so
hard up that the big price offered
tempted him and he has consented to
be tortured. Mrs. de Voir is to press
the camera button and the fellow who
initiates the models hands will do the
rest
One may fancy the pleased look on
the face of this realistic feminine when
the engine of torture Is busiest with
the subjects hand. Should the models
features lack anything of the true con-
vulsions of pain she will doubtless
shout to the operator to give the nerves
another twist. And should the poor
fellows suffering extort an agonizing
cry from his pale lips it will delight the
soul Of this woman artist.
+ Not because OF the mans suffering,
you know. 1t is simply, Art for arts
sake"
