Il don't care" said he TO a report
er. TO have anything to do with chorus
girls or artists models. l mean that /

But three women who are now playing
in Broadway theaters were we'll paid

ure who were not afraid of running
chances of their friends RECOGNIZING

find them. / have about 800 women
and girls on my list, all of them within
a radius of so miles Of New York.
The women pay me nothing except
the expense | am put to in sending
for them. Sometimes they are wanted
at an hours notice and l have to send
g cab. My fee comes from customers
who want the girls to pose-publish-
ers, photoSr IpherS, millnelS and all
sorts of persons. They arrange terms
among themselves. For ordinary pos
ing 81 an hour is considered the right
thing. Some extra fine models want
IS an hour. and find no trouble in get
ting it, Last spring l supplied twenty
women to a cloak maker from London,
who wanted to break into New York.
He fitted up fine rooms, advertised ex-

the place awhile, priced goods had
their measures taken and acted nj

alternating a different set of women
each week. Today he is making mon

she said.
Next day woman came to my office
