In All Walks of Life.
This search for child models who come
somewhere near to the ideal, and of whom
there are not twenty in this broad land of
ours, according to men who have to deal
with them constantly, leads the searcher
into all walks of life. He haunts the pop
ulous tenement districts and foreign quar-
ters, gazing at the groups of care-free ba-
bies-though want stalks all about them
taking their first lessons in street romping
on webbing legs that all but let them fall,
scant-clad heaps. under horses hoofs. He
gees into the residential sections to investi-
gate a vague rumor that Mrs. So-and-So.
whose husband has just died and left her
with little means, has pretty baby, and
she might be induced to let IL take a few
poses. He makes run into the country,
where some orphanage is located, to look
over the little inmates. He goes hither and
yon, up and down the face of the earth, and
sometimes he finds what he is looking for
in the black-rmmed face of some slip of an
Italian girl baby; the widowed mother.
though she were as poor as Jobs turkey,
would never consent to living off her child,
or the baby itself turns out to be a scare
crow to impartial eyes: the orphanage
yields. perhaps, a subject who will do on a
pinch; wherever lie goes, however promis-
ing the prospect may seem at first blush, he
is sure to return empty handed a hundred
times where he is successful once.
On the whole, more really good child
models are got out of the slumS of the
cities than all the other places put to-
gether. This fact is accounted for in sew
eral ways. The parents are not so averse
to letting their babies pose as are straight
out-and-out American fathers and mothers
they seemingly cast all sentiment aside and
view the matter from the cold logic of bust
ness. Again. these foreign parents keen in
the scramble for the American dollar do
all in their power to keep the children
from becoming precocious and thus useless;
and last, but not least. the child of foreign

Washington, d. c., Feb. 19.-The
interior of the Pension building in
the great court of which the inaug
ural ball will be held will be a bow
er of loveliness. Royal palms, with
leaves 25 feet long, will be brought
from Porto Rico. On the upper bal
cony of the interior court will be
placed evergreen trees twenty feet
high. Everywhere there will be a
tracery of greens illuminated by tiny
electric bulbs. Overhead instead of
a canopy effect, the artists will en-
deavor to initiate a beautiful Italian
sky.
The color scheme will be bright on
the first floor, to add as much as pos
sible to the effect of brilliancy. The
color will be softened as the decor
ators work up until by degrees it is
hoped to get an open air effect at
the top.
All along the balconies will be strips
of laurel, caught up with wreaths.
In front of the first balcony, at the
top of the columns will be placed
large placques of azalias and other
brilliant flowers, with vines and
greens radiating therefrom. Here and
there will be pendant baskets Of ferns
and blooming plants with laurel gar

ORDER
OF CONF|SCAT|ON
AGAINST THE NEW YORK AND
BERMUDEz ASPHALT CO.
Decision of Venezuelan Tribunal May
Precipitate Trouble With the
United States.

Washington, Feb. 16.-United States
Minister bowen at Caracas cabled the
state department today that the SUI
preme court of Venezuela has con-
flrmed the order of seQuestration in
the case of the New York & Bermu-
dez Asphalt Co. This action con-
tinues the government receivership of
the company, and amounts practically
to confiscation of it's property.
1t is feared that the decision by the
highest tribunal of the country will
bring to head the long standing dis
pute between Venezuela and the Unit
ed States tending, as it does, to sub
stantiate the charge that American
citizens cannot obtain justice in the
Venezuelan courts.
The decision of the Venezuelan SUI
preme court, coming Immediately af-
ter the return of President Castro to
the capital is peculiarly significant. 1t
was to evade the proposition of the
United States to submit the asphalt
case to arbitration that President Cas-
tro left Caracas several weeks ago,
abruptly breaking off the negotiations
which had then begun.
